The Davis/Davidson and Biggs families of Clay County, KY, by Rich Nallenweg (2020).
This book documents the Davis/Davidson family that lived in Clay County, Kentucky from about 1850 to the present day, and the Biggs family that lived in Clay County since about 1843. This book is really two separate books: one for the Davis/Davidson family and one for the Biggs family. Two for the price of one! It includes 5 generations of families. Families include Davis/Davison, Biggs, Reid, Jackson, Holland, Smith, Eversole, and Benge. The surname Davidson was used by George and his descendants, but at some point, they began to use the surname Davis and his descendants use the surname Davis today. The Davis/Davidsons lived all over Clay County, including: Otter Creek and Manchester. They also lived in Knox County, KY for a short time. Each person is fully documented with sources, references, and documentation. This includes family stories, pictures, military records, census records, property, birth, death and marriage records, etc. The 72 page book is fully indexed and available to order from our eBay bookstore, https://www.ebay.com/str/obcgsbookstore
