Tracing the ancestry of the newest
DAVIS descendant,
Harper Lily DUNN
(born December 24, 2003)
Harper, like myself and her ancestors, is not the product of just her parents, but of her entire lineage. Hopefully, she can draw on the strengths and character demonstrated by the best of them, even in the shadows of great risk, peril, and grief, to meet those unknown challenges that will confront her throughout her lifetime.
My name is Steve Davis. Come in and I'll introduce you to the family. We are all here. Protestants and Catholics, Quakers, Baptists, and Jehovah's Witnesses; Englishmen and Revolutionists; Union and Confederate Soldiers (even at the same battle); Slave owners and Conductors of the Underground Railroad; From the Archbishop of York in England, to Rob Roy "Robert the Red" McGregor of Scotland. We are immigrants from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada and more. If it was an important part of the history of America, and in some cases, world history, we were there to experience the triumphs and tragedies that created America, we crossed the American frontier, and we have contributed in making this country the great beacon of Democracy it is today. GOD BLESS AMERICA! |

This website is dedicated to my Aunt
Elma [THURSBY] Maltzberger
who dedicated a large part of her life to researching most of the information contained herein. Her efforts were an inspiration to me and encouraged me to continue her research, and initiate my own research into the DAVIS side of the family tree.
I would
also like to acknowledge the gifts I received from my parents,
Gerard Giles ("Jerry")
DAVIS and Alice "Arline" [THURSBY] Davis
Both taught humility
and instilled in me a wonderful sense of humor,
plus...
My father
was a man of unwavering pride, integrity, honor, and fairplay. He taught me to stand
firm for what I believe in, even if I found myself on the losing side. What else
would you expect from a decendant of "Rob Roy" McGregor?
And from my mother, I received the courage to ask "How?" "Why?"
or "Why NOT?" She instilled in me the eternal quest to seek what's
just around the next bend? As a result of that gift, I have spent much of my
life "pacing the cage". While some have cursed these qualities in
me, I am forever indebted to both of my parents for their gifts, example and direction.
