John Walter Davis m. Susannah Eliza Virginia MacBee

A Crouch Family Heritage Association Family Tree page

John Walter Davis 1831-1916 m. Susannah Eliza Virginia MacBee1835-1874. It has been said of Davis that he was of foreign extraction, possibly Swedish, and came to America by jumping off a ship. His descendants, who inherited his suspicious, dour nature, are doubtful of this and suspect that he may have made it up himself in order to shroud himself in legend and mystery. Ditto for what is written on the back of a photograph of him, "John Walter Davis, veteran of three wars." My grandmother had his watch until a burglar took it ca. 1990.
