Excerpt from Genealogy of the Descendants of Col. John Davis of Oxford, Conn;, (Formerly a Part of Derby, Conn;): Together With a Partial Genealogy of His Ancestors in the United States, Also Biographical Sketches and Portraits of Some of His Descendants and Other Matters of Interest, Collected, Arranged and Compiled In 1880, I conceived the idea of compiling the Gene alogy of the descendants of Col. Davis, and soon found I had a good sized job on my hands, as I had to do all the work between business hours, and therefore could do the work slowly. Had it not been for the peculiar fascination of the work I would have given it up. By 1890 I had been in communication with every head of a family from Col. Davis down to that date. I then compiled the same by families, which I had printed and with new blanks, I sent a copy to each family for corrections and additions. I had this nearly completed by 1900. From 1900 to the present I have been in almost con stant communication with the different families by which means I have succeeded in getting additions down to date, except the year 1908, when I was confined to my house over six months by severe illness.

Excerpt from History of the Davis Family To My Kinsmen and Others - The Biographical, Historical and Genealogical Record of the descendants of our ancestor, John Davis, upon which I have spent four years' labor, and not a little expense, nears completion, and will soon be ready for the press. I have departed somewhat from the methods of some genealogists and have traced, not only the descendants of the male line, but also the descendants of the female line, thus bringing the record as far as was possible in full, down to date, I have also traced the ancestry of many of those families which have become interlinked with ours by marriage, going back in many instances to the time that the ancestors of these families came to this country. I have often wished since the commencement of the work that it had fallen into abler hands, and I have also been impressed with the fact that if it were to be done at all, it had been undertaken none too soon. Older members of the family who were living when the work was commenced, and from whom much information was received, have passed away to join the great silent majority. Old town, church and property records, from which facts and data have also been drawn, are fast fading away, and will soon be illegible, so that unless the records are re-written and then printed, in a few years the facts obtainable from them will be forever lost. The correspondence which has grown out of the compilation of this work has been very large. Over 3,000 letters have been sent, and answers to nearly all of them have been received. Our fathers are gone, many of them sleep in unmarked graves, and many of the other graves are becoming unmarked by the ravages of the elements and time.
