Since this post I have located the name of William Scott Davis's father. His name is William M. Davis and according to the 1870 census he was from Virginia age 84 at the time of the census so this puts him being born abt. 1786.
In the 1850 census I found that his wife may have been Susan. This is conjecture. Where I got this is it is Bledsoe County where they moved here in TN and Susan is mentioned as being 69 at that time putting her birth as abt 1781 and the Elizabeth that is mentioned is 28 putting her birth as 1822. This may be the wrong wife for William M. but the dates for him are correct. John
