Samuel B Davies in Ironton, Ohio

I am researching this Davies family. My starting point is Samuel B Davies, who was said to have come to the United States with 2 sons, Benjamin and George B Davies.
I am not sure, but there is a possibility that Samuel B Davies immigrated from either Monmouth or Cardiff, Wales. Supposedly, he was run out of Wales because he wrote a series of pamphlets critical of wage practices.

Possibly, son Benjamin became a labor organizer and head of a union in Indiana. The other son, George B Davies, apparently settled in Ironton, Ohio, after the Civil War, where he married Sarah Levering. They had 5 children: George, William, Lillian, Jennie, and Carrie.

George (2) married Nina Mae Eakins and had 5 children also: Harold, George(3), Ralph (died at 6 mo.), Dorothy, and Nina.

Any information would be appreciated, especially about Samueal B. Davies and when and where he entered the United States.

Thank you in advance for any information you could share.
