The Eliphas Davis who is evidently buried in Arkansas was living in Lawrence County, Arkansas in 1832 according to this record on Ancestry.com. I'm wondering if it is a different man with the same name?

The will attached to this Eli does not belong to this memorial this is why it cannot be reconciled with the children listed with the Eliphanz (Eliphas) Davis history listed on the memorial. To avoid confusion, may I recommend removing the sections referencing the will and contacting the person who attached the photo or alerting people as to error of its post.
The Eli the will refers to is my 4th ggf (1750-Nov 1832, born-died in SC).
Thank you,
