Here are notes my aunt or sister gathered on this couple whom we have as Abram David b 1797 and Marie Anne b 1802
As written in a letter from Maria H. (Etta) Davis, dated Dec. 6, 1962:
Dear Cousin,
In France, our great-grandparents, whose names I don't know, were aristocrats, quite wealthy. Naturally, when Napoleon came to power, theywere against him and their heads were to be chopped off. They quickly sold everything, took their children and came to America, and apparently settled in Mt. Eaton, Ohio. All of their children had been born in France, including our grandfather Henry. When France got rid of Napoleon,our great-grandparents decided to go back there, and all but 3 children went along. They sailed from New York, and nothing was ever heard from them again. The 3 children who stayed here never knew what happened to them. The 3 who stayed in America were Louis, Henry, our grandfather,and a sister whose name I don't know, but I think she was the original"Sophia".

The children I have listed for them are Sophia, Henry John, and Louis. However, there appears to be more by this letter. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Please email me at
