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 offer the following information in hopes of finding additional information 
about NATHAN DAVIS

These are assumptions only:

Nathan was first married to EMILY FOWLER in South Carolina.
EMILY FOWLER was the child of MARTHA O> FOWLER and LEVI FOWLER.
MARTHA O> FOWLER came to Lauderdale County Alabama with her daughter 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 McLUSTER (McALLISTER) 
raised LEVI FOWLER DAVIS.

Facts:

LEVI FOWLER DAVIS married NANCY GERMAN (JARMAN, GARMAN) in Monroe County 
Mississippi in 1841.
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 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.
