'Eleanor's parents were James
and Elisabeth, her father died when she was just three years old. She married Jonathan Davis, circa 1823 and they had seven children: Jane Elizabeth,
John, James F., Margaret S., Mary A., Jonathan Hicklan, and William P. Davis.
Her husband, Jonathan was involved in founding a new church. They left York Co., South Carolina in December 1856, and drove through the country in their wagons. In March 1857, a colony settled in Bradley Co., Arkansas, and founded Hickory Springs ARP church. Fifteen of them were members of Neely's Creek church in South Carolina. The church was organized in the summer of 1859 by Rev. J.M. Brown with fifteen charter members, Jonathan Davis and J. F. Leslie were elected elders. A log House of Worship was erected in 1860. Nearby was a spring encased in a section of a hollow hickory tree, from this spring the church got its name.
She was my 3rd great-grandmother.
