In 1870, his widow and children are living next door to Charles A. Davis family (son of Gerard Davis) and next to them is Amelia Day Davis, widow of Gerard Davis.

      The Bureau of Land Management files reflect that "Elisha K Davis of Buchanan County, Missouri" was issued a Land Patent (Certificate 4119) for land in Buchanan County, MO, on 1 May 1846.

      Nathanial Carrington was living with this family in 1880 and working on the farm, age 18.

      Different census give Mo. for all children's births, 1860 shows which ones were born in Iowa. On the marriage record of Clara Viola Davis, it does show she was born in Iowa. It appears when they were back in Missouri, they gave their birth state as Missouri to the census taker.
