Notes - Maryette along with her family were living very near the Davis family in 1860. Undoubtedly they knew each other during this time. Josiah was about 29 and Maryette about 18 when they married. Maryette apparently died in 1879 but the exact date has not been confirmed. In 1880 Josiah is shown in the census of that year living with his sister Lydia and her family, but there is no listing for Ned. He was 3 years old at the time and possibly was in the care of another relative since Josiah was without a wife.
From Nancy Coming To Allice Burns Reynolds:
"Maryette Elizabeth Holston Davis died Nov 19, 1879 in Conway, Taylor County, Iowa I am sending you picture of her stone and sign at cemetery entrance of Conway Cemetery. Maryette E. (not C) died of TB, as did two of her sisters and her brother Arthur." - (Research):Some sources indicate that Maryette and Josiah had other children than Ned. Some suggest that Grace Ruth Davis was born on 24 Dec 1873 in Monticello, Jones, Iowa, others do not have this child born to them. There is also a Jessie Davis that may have been the child of a previous marriage.
