"John P. DAVIS, planter and miller of Bradley County, was born in McMinn
County, April 23, 1843, the son of Henry B. and Nancy (PICKENS) DAVIS. The
father was of Scotch descent, and it is not
known of what extraction the mother was, but her ancestors probably came from
England. The father was born in Roane County, Tenn., April 26, 1817, and died in
Bradley County, near Cleveland, April 13, 1882. The mother was a native of South
Carolina, was born in Pendleton District, September 14, 1817, and is still
living, a resident of Cleveland, The parents were married in McMinn County
November 28, 1838. After their marriage they came to Bradley County, where they
lived two or three years, then moved back to McMinn County, and resided there up
to the year 1851, at which time they went to Cleveland and permanently settled.
The father organized the stock company that built the Cleveland Flouring Mill,
and for a number of years superintended the interests of the mill. He organized
the stock company that established the first bank in Cleveland after the war.
Mr. DAVIS was a stockholder and a director of this bank until his death. He was
also connected with the E. V. & G. R. R. as a director for several years, and
was a stockholder for a number of years. In his political views he was in
sympathy with the Republican party. He was a member of the Methodist Church. The
mother was a member of the same church. Our subject is the second of six
children and the only
son. He secured a liberal education in his youth, and attended Hiwassee College.
