Moses was born and grew up in the area of Grayson Co., Va. In 1796 at
Muddy Creek MM, in Stokes Co., he was married to Ann Willits. Witnesses at the marriage included; Charity, Elizabeth, Margaret, Acsah, Mary and Jemima
Willits, and Samuel Schooley, David Brooks, Job Coggeshal, Joseph Pattison,
Harmon Davis, and Richard Jones.
Moses and Ann Willits Davis remained in Va. until after the birth of their first four daughters. Then on Jan 8, 1805 Moses sold the 132 acre tract he had inherited from his father to John Pickrell for $90. Witnesses to the deed were Amos Ballard, John Holder and Joshua Stoneman. Moses could sign his name.
On 27 April 1805 Mt. Pleasant MM, Grayson Co., Va. granted Moses and his
family a certificate to Concord MM Ohio where Moses' older brother had moved
two years before. The family was set of with Stillwater MM, Belmont Co., and
later in 1820 with Somerset MM.
Moses, a blacksmith is said to have been one of the first settlers of
Barnesville, Warren Twp., but he later moved to Somerton in Somerset Twp.,
where he built the first house and ran the first blacksmith shop. He acquired 40 acres from his brother in 1810, 160 acres from Joseph Cox in 1818, and a couple of lots in Somerton in 1827 and 1828. The Belmont Co., Ohio deed index lists many transaction involving Moses Davis.
In Somerset MM Moses himself was disowned in 1828, this was the time of the great Hicksite Separation in Ohio. It started in Philidelphia where the
followers of Elias Hicks insisted upon giving more authority to the Friends
"Inner Light", then to the bible. Orthodox Friends disagreed and the yearly
meeting was split in two. The Hicksites were hastily disowned by the orthodox groups across Ohio and into Indiana. Moses was one of the few among the descendents of Charles and Hannah Matson Davies to take the Hicksite side of the controversy.
The census records indicate that between 1830 and 1840 Moses moved from
Somerset Twp. to Wayne Twp. He probably moved at the time of his second
marriage. Moses obtained a liscence on 29 Oct 1838 to marry Susanna Croy. It is likely that she was the Susannah Bayly (Bailey) dau. of William and Rebecca who married Jacob Croy on 28 Oct. 1807 at Stillwater MM, Concord, Ohio. Susannah Croy was disowned for disunity by Somerset MM on 24 Sep 1832. In Feb 1841 Moses and Susannah sold his lots in Somerton.
In 1844 Asa Wellons was named administrator of Moses Davis Estate. The
inventory listed among other items a sausage stuffer, an inkstand, "a fawcett", a grindstone, a mantle clock, a set of blacksmith tools, a keg and tabacco, a stand of bees and a bee house. The public sale raised $179.21 1/2 Among the purchasers were Susannah Davis, Asa Wellons and Mahlon Bailey. The last may have been a grandson.

"The birth of Tamer Davis was recorded by New Garden MM, N.C. to which
southwest Virgina Freinds were attached. Tamer grew up in the Grayson Co.,
Va., area and before her 16th birthday was married to James Vernon. He was the son of James and Content Vernon. He probably was born in Columbia Co., GA but his father died when he was still a child and his mothe returned to North Carolina. After she remarried James Jr. went to live with his Aunt Phebe (Vernon) Middleton and migrated with that family to southwest Virginia. James and Tamer (Davis) Vernon followed his brother to Concord MM, Ohio about 1805. The Cernons and Middletons were set off with Stillwater MM, Belmont Co., Ohio. There James Vernon died about 1815.
Tamer did not remain long a widow. In 1816 at Stillwater MM she was
married to Jehu Hiatt, a widower with seven children. According to Johnson,
Jehu was born about 1781, probably in Surry CO., N.C. and married first in 1801 in Grayson Co., Va, Tamar Lundy, daughter of Amos and Ann (Collins) Lundy. Jehu and Tamer (Davis) Vernon may well have known each other from childhood.
Shortly after the Hicksite separation, in which the Hiatts took the
Orthodox side, Jehu and Tamer moved to Clear Ceek MM, Highland Co., Ohio. One wonders if strained relations over the Hicksites controvery prompted the move.
In 1837 the Hiatts and Vernons began to congregate in Morgan Co., Ohio. In February of that year Jehu and Tamer Hiatt, were granted a certificate from Clear Creek MM to Pennsville (Deerfield) MM in Morgan Co., Chester field MM, which was established in October, recorded the death of Jehu Hiatt, age 56, on 7-13-1837. He was buried at Chesterhill.
The 1850 census showed Tamer Hiatt, 70, living with her son James, 43, in
Marion Twp, Morgan Co. James remarried in that year at Chesterfield MM, but
Tamer probably continued to make her home with him. Her death at age 91 was
recorded at Chesterfield MM and she was buried at Chesterhill.
