                   Taken from the  History of Vigo County, Indiana, with Biographical Selections by H.C. Bradsby  FHL 977.245  H2b:

"G. W. Davis, farmer, Nevins township, P.O. Cloverland, Clay county, resides on Section 31, where he owns sixty-nine acres of excellent farm land.  He was born in Clermont county, Ohio, September 2, 1832, and is a son of Isaac and Mary A. (Hull) Davis, natives of Clermont county, Ohio, and who came to Vigo county in 1836, when G. W. was four years of age.  They spent the remainder of their days in this county, the father dying in 1879, and the mother in 1866; they were the parents of ten children.  Our subject's opportunities for an early education were limited.  He was reared on a farm, and to the occupation of a farmer, which he has followed thus far through life.  In 1869 he was married in Vigo county to Mary F. Calahan, who was born in Perry county, Ohio, in 1834.  Mr. Davis, who is a Democrat, has never sought or held office, except some of the minor offices of his township; he is a member of the F. M. B. A."
