Surnames: Davis, Rose, Suffron
These are my great grandparents. I can find very little about them. They were Methodists and farmers. Had Mary Blair, Cyrus, Thomas and Aaron for children. My grandfather was Cyrus. They were a family in 1851 census but on 1861 they are living with Thomas' brother John B. Davis(census has him as David not Davis) I then cannot find Clara but Cyrus now has a farm. Cyrus was brought up by John B. and another uncle which I don't know the name of at this time. Any help finding the other brother or their parents would be of great help as I can't get them back to England or elsewhere. Mary married William Suffron and their son Cyrus "adopted" my dad after his parents passed away and he was only 4 years old. Don't know if they were Empire Loyalist or not. Suggestions on where to go next are always welcome. dmdflyer@yahoo.ca

Thomas and Clara also had son James Blair Davis... married first to Margaret Clark and then Rachel Chalmers. James is listed as 13 yrs old in the 1861 Census living with James Blair. Both of his marriages put his birth around 1844. James died in Merrickville August 20, 1874 leaving one son.

I don't know who Thomas Davis's parents were but his wife's probable parents were Ezekiel Rose and his 2nd wife Mary Fry. Clara cannot be firmly placed as their child but the witnesses at her marriage to Thomas Davis were Alvin Rose, a son of Ezekiel and Mary and Christopher Wilson. Christopher was a son-in-law of Ezekiel Rose. Christopher had married Lydia Rose who was a daughter of Ezekiel Rose and Ezekiel's first wife whose name was also Mary but whose surname I have not identified. John B. Davis, who I believe was Thomas Davis' brother married Marintha Rose another daughter of Ezekiel Rose and Mary Fry. Ezekiel and his first wife also had a son named Charles Rose whose 2nd wife was Mary Davis. I don't know if Mary was a sister to Thomas and John B. Davis, but there must be some sort of connection. Christopher Wilson was also a witness at Charles Rose and Mary Davis' marriage. Also a witness was James H. Carr who had married Laura Rose who was sister to Marintha and Alvin and half sister to Charles.
