Now for some Davis (Davies) Family Photos


This photo is identified as William, Vernon and Chloe Davis and is circa 1903-1904.

Tin Type photo of Chloe M. Forwood at age 19 in about 1879. This was also in Grandma Jennie Davis Corbin's box of old photos. This is the first photo I've ever seen of m great-grandmother Chloe, mother of Jennis and 9 other children, with William Davis (Davies). She came to Michigan from Switzerland County, Indiana and he came with his family from the Fynnon Gron (Round Well) Farm near Welsh Hook and Haverford West, Wales. The photo above is the Davis Family Farm that was northeast of the Corbin Family farm and about 1 mile east of Stanwood. All that remains of the farm now are the foundations of the barn and the house. There is a double-wide on the house foundation and lots of junk cars and trailers where the barn stood.

I may be wrong,but I think the picture with Shirlie, et al, was taken at the back of the house at 77 Fiddis Ave. in Pontiac.
