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

NATHAN  DAVIS was first located by this researcher in Lauderdale County 
Alabama.  NATHAN was there from about 1821 until about 1842,when he moved to 
Desoto Co. Mississippi.
Family legend has NATHAN coming from South Carolina, but I have never been 
able to locate the place of his birth or who his parents were.

I offer the following information in hopes of finding additional information 
about Nathan Davis.

These are assumptions only:

Nathan was married to EMILY FOWLER in South Carolina
EMILY FOWLER was the child of MARTHA  O. FOWLER  and her husband LEVI FOWLER.
MARTHA O. FOWLER came to Lauderdale County Alabama with her daughter Emily 
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.
Her mother MARTHA FOWLER, and Nathan's 2nd wife, EMILY McCLUSTER (McALLISTER) 
raised LEVI FOWLER DAVIS 
LEVI FOWLER DAVIS married NANCY GERMAN in Monroe County Mississippi in 1841.

Facts:

MARTHA O. FOWLER has a headstone in the WESLEY CHAPLE Methodist church 
cemetery, in Lauderdale Co. Alabama, which says
"MARTHA  O. FOWLER, wife of LEVI FOWLER" and her birth date: 6 May 1769 and 
her death date: 11 July 1841
but there is no headstone for LEVI FOWLER.

Also buried in WESLEY CHAPEL cemetery is ELIJAH FOWLER (1811 - 1862) & wife 
MARY, their son RICHARD D. FOWLER(1848 - 1860),
and  LEOLA  FOWLER (1867 - ?)

In the same WESLEY CHAPLE cemetery is a stone for a LEVI COLUMBUS FOWLER (3 
August 1841 - 28 February 1935) and MARY E.
 (1843 - 1920), wife of LEVI COLUMBUS FOWLER. Their children were at least 
LEOLA E. FOWLER and WILEY F. FOWLER.

The age of MARTHA O. FOWLER at her death date would indicate that she was not 
the mother of LEVI COLUMBUS FOWLER, but the coincidence of the names might 
indicate a relation.

If anyone can offer additional information it would be appreciated.
