My Grandmother had a picture of him that someone gave her. It was a really nice photo. The photo I have included is of M.L.Davis but is not the same photo. This is a totally different picture (and it is a copy of a copy of a copy hence not that good. She was told that he was a judge not a reverend. She was born in 1895 so did not know him. However her grandmother Jane Davis was his first born and this must be where she got the information. I have also included a signed legal note signed by him. The prefix by his name indicates he was in the legal field at some point. He may have been a judge and a reverend I do not know for sure. I know that his father was a judge, but it is possible they were both judges. It is my hope that A family member will upload a better picture of him. Also he is hard to locate on find a grave because he is listed as Rev. Melton Lewis Davis. I have removed the Rev to make it easier to find. By his stone and the note I have included, he seems to have preferred to go by M.L. Davis

It's pretty clear that my GGG Grandfather Milton Lewis Davis was in Co. F of the 7th Kentucky Infantry, and NOT in the Indiana Cavalry as someone previously claimed.

For one thing, he was born, lived and died in Whitley Co. KY, so it would have been odd for him to join an Indiana Regiment.

Secondly, the documentary evidence indicates that he was in the 7th KY Infantry. Included in this image are the 1890 Veterans Schedule, a Headstones for Civil War Veterans record, and a pension index record, all of which indicate that he was in the 7th KY. In addition, his military grave marker indicates that he was in the 7th KY infantry, and a Statement of Service and a Certificate of Disability for Discharge both indicate that he was in the 7th Kentucky.

There are 11 soldiers named Milton Davis in the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Database (and 6 named Hamilton Davis). It was far from a unique name. Although my ancestor Milton Lewis Davis may have actually been in the state of Indiana at the time that he was mustered out, there's no reason to believe that he was ever enlisted in an Indiana Regiment.
