WILL DAVIS, who is engaged in the livery, feed and sale business in Janesville, is a representative of one of the early families of Rock County. He traces his ancestry back to Wales. In 1684 William DAVIS came from that country to America. His son James had three sons - Jacob, Samuel, and Zeba. The first-named had a son, also named Jacob, who was the father of four sons and six daughters. Jasper, the third son, was born in Clark County, Ohio, and came with his parents to Milton, Rock County, in 1844, making his home for a few days with Joseph GOODRICH. On the 28th day of August, 1852, he married Lavina R. BROWN, who was born in Scott, N.Y., July 19, 1829. When five years of age she was taken by her parents to La Porte County, Ind., and ten years later to Rock County, Wis. Immediately after their marriage, the young couple removed to Waushara County, Wis., where they remained five years, and then returned to Milton, Rock County, where they resided until their death.
