The following history is from - Source: Genealogy of the Rarig Family. Descendants of John Rarig and his wife Mary Ann Kisner. By Willard R. Rhoads, 1933, page 22.
"....Regarding the early history of the Davis family it is said on good authority that two Davis brothers, Richard and Jenkins, came to America from Wales, between 1690 and 1700, with William Penn on one of his trading trips.
Both located in Chester County, PA. William Penn ceded to Richard 40,000 acres of land and to Jenkins 10,000 acres along the Conestoga River. Richard's family drifted into Virginia and from this family sprang the great Confederate leader, Jefferson Davis.
Jenkins Davis had three sons: Isaac, William and John. Issac became a Methodist preacher, William entered the Revolutionary War, where he served under George Washington at Valley Forge and was killed while crossing a dam at that place. John had three sons: David, John and Isaac. David married Margaret Roberts and they moved from Chester County to Philadelphia where he worked at shoe making, being considered a very fine workman. Later he became a minister of the Methodist Episcopal denomination.
In 1814 David and his family moved to Mifflin (now Beaver) Township Columbia County, in the vicinity of what is now Davis Chapple. His father-in-law, Mr. Roberts, had taken up land in this locality and David Davis took possession of this property. Mrs. Davis was an ideal pioneer wife, full of energy, courage and determination. They had five sons including two Davids, the youngest being smothered in infancy and the second was named for him, Isaac, John and William, also four daughters, Molly, Margaret "Peggy", Lottie and Priscilla."
