My maiden name is Davis and tracing that back is a struggle. My 3 gr grandfather was massacred in IL during the Blackhawk Wars along with his wife and several children. Three boys escaped. Other family names are on my paternal side Kissinger, Franklin, Zerfing, Lvermore. On my maternal side Capplinger, Quimby & Reynolds.
