Kershaw Co SC- Archibald YOUNG & DAVIS (James R & Jasper)
On the Kershaw Co SC genforum I found ref that Archibald Young married a Davis widow- maybe Jasper DAVIS was his step son- I have posted there & will post here also:
Jasper Davis was wit to will of Archibald Young (will Kersh Co SC written 1853). Jasper Davis- per census, 1860 Kersh Co, J Davis born 1831 SC parents b SC was head of home with wife & kids. Their 1860 neighbors were Richd Young b 1834 SC & A Young b 1808 SC. Jasper was also in 1870-80 Kersh Co SC censuses listed as Jasper Davis b 1830 SC. Wife Sarah J. Kids: Eliza; Susan C; Allice L; Jasper C; Sarah C; & Charles- al b SC. Some believe Jasper was STEP SON OF ARCHIBALD YOUNG since Jasper wit the will. But is there mentions elsewhere that Archibald married a Davis widow???
Jasper is thought (not proven) to have had brother named James R Davis (1826 SC- 1865 CSA POW d NY). In 1860 Kersh Co SC, this James was JR Davis b 1830 SC- he was two pages away in 1860 from Jasper. Can't find Jasper in 1850. Found James R (as JR again) in 1850 Kersh Co SC next to his in-laws John & Susannah Hall. James R Davis married their dau Elizabeth Hall.
