James Davis and Elizabeth Foster parents of Julia Ann Davis.

Julia Ann Davis father and father in law of Edward Davis was James Davis, born Jan 15, 1796 in Kentucky, who married Elizabeth Foster. Elizabeth Foster was from Tennessee and was born Jun 5 1800. This is a photo of Elizabeth (Foster)Davis, mother of Julia Ann Davis, that was graciously provided by Mrs Carol Orwig of Beardstown, Illinois. Randy Davis sent me a list of their children.

I found a listing from three sources that varied only in dates and range of dates for Elizabeth Foster's parents on the World Tree of Ancestry.com and those were
  1. Ann Fletcher, fletchfa@pionet.net
  2. Carol Buckland, Satxrose@aol.com
  3. Mark Buckland, woodrowmb@aol.com
The information shows Elizabeth Foster, wife of James Davis, as having been born in England in 1800 and that her parents were Squire George Foster born about 1760 in England and her mother as Elizabeth Ogden born 1771 in England.
