Greetings,

    I have for many years been researching my gr gr grandfather NATHAN DAVIS 
(1786 - ?) who's son was named LEVI FOWLER DAVIS (1819 - 1888)

    NATHAN DAVIS was first found by this researcher in LAUDERDALE COUNTY 
ALABAMA. 
    NATHAN DAVIS was in Lauderdale Co. from about 1821 until about 1842, when 
he moved to DESOTO COUNTY, MS.
    Family legend has NATHAN DAVIS coming from South Carolina, but I have 
never been able to locate the place of his birth nor who his parents were.
I now believe he came from NEWBERRY CO., SC,
    I offer the following information in hopes of finding additional 
information about NATHAN DAVIS.
    Nathan was first married to EMILY FOWLER..
EMILY FOWLER was the child of MARTHA ODELL (DUCKETT) FOWLER and LEVI FOWLER, 
b 6 May, 1769, d 17 Apr., 1819 in Newberry Co., SC
    MARTHA ODELL (DUCKETT) FOWLER came to Lauderdale County Alabama with her 
two daughters, EMILY, NANCY, her son ELIJAH and her son-in-law NATHAN.
    EMILY FOWLER DAVIS died about 1819 at the birth or complications from the 
birth of her son LEVI FOWLER DAVIS.
    Emily's mother, MARTHA FOWLER and Nathan's 2nd wife EMILY McALUSTER 
(McALLISTER) raised LEVI FOWLER DAVIS.
    LEVI FOWLER DAVIS married NANCY GERMAN (JARMAN, GARMAN) in Monroe County 
Mississippi in 1841.
    NANCY GERMAN was the daughter of JOSEPH (JOE) GERMAN and VIRGINIA (JENNY) 
(MCCANDLESS) GERMAN.
    MARTHA ODELL (DUCKETT) FOWLER has a headstone in the Wesley Chapel 
Methodist church cemetery in Lauderdale Co. Alabama, which says:
MARTHA O. FOWLER, wife of LEVI FOWLER 
and gives her birthdate as 6 May 1769 and her death date 11 July 1841.
    There is no headstone for LEVI FOWLER in this cemetery.

If anyone can offer additional information, it would be appreciated.
