This application clearly says she married James Davis in “Barnwell District, South Carolina,” but gives no date of marriage. The 1801 date given by Mrs. Bomemann has not been verified and is possibly “manufactured” as previously discussed. When Elizabeth’s husband received his “passport” through Georgia in 1810, he also states they were form “Bamwell District in the state of South Carolina.”
Elizabeth died sometime after her 1858 application and is buried in Perry County in an unmarked family cemetery where their farm once stood. Until something more specific can be found, we will use “after 1858” for her time of death. Because of her marriage to James Davis in Barnwell District, SC, we will assume she was also bom there. Some of the same researchers of the Davis lines also worked on the Daughdrill family. Below is what we have compiled from their research, and we do not guarantee their accuracy.
Our Elizabeth Daughdrill Davis was the daughter of James Daughdrill (Dodrill, Doughdrill, etc.) and Elizabeth Hollon who was previously married to (first name unknown) Harrell. James Daughdrill was bom in Ireland and died in 1806 in Bamwell, SC. James was the son of James Rush Daughdrill, who was bom in Ireland and died in 1777 in Bertie County, North Carolina and Carmella Facemire who was bom in Ireland in 1720 and died in Bertie County, NC, in 1777. Based on the 1810 passport through Georgia, we know Elizabeth Hollon was traveling to Mississippi with her son-in law, James Davis (husband of daughter, Elizabeth) and her two sons, James and John Daughdrill. She probably died in Greene County, MS while living with one of her sons.
The following is what we know of the children of James Daughdrill and Elizabeth Hollon:
1.	Nancy Daughdrill - some researchers list this child that is believed to have been bom around 1761 and died as a child.
2.	James Daughdrill - bom on May 14, 1779 in Bertie County, NC, and died in Greene County, MS, around 1827. In the 1830 census of Greene County, we find “Celia Daughdrill” living there with her family, indicating her husband was probably dead. James married Celia “Sealy” Turner in 1803 in Bamwell, SC, and had five children with him in 1810 while traveling through GA. They had as many as eight children and most of them moved to Marengo County, AL, with their mother following the death of her husband. Two of the children, William Turner Daughdrill and Martha Daughdrill, who married (first name unknown) Moody stayed in Perry County, MS.
3.	John Daughdrill - bom in 1782 in Bertie County, NC, and died in Greene County, MS in 1831. He appears in the 1830 census of Greene County and does not appear in any later censuses. He is listed with his brother, mother, and brother-in-law in his 1810 passport through GA, and he was not married that year. After arriving in MS, he traveled back to SC, where he married Winifred “Winnie” Harrell and returned to Greene County where they had six or more children. On June 2, 1851, his widow, Winnie Daughdrill, filed an application for a Land Bounty Grant as a result of John’s service in the War of
1812.	She said she married John Daughdrill in Bamwell, SC, in “1810 or 1811.” She was now married to (first name not listed) Vaughn and was living in Greene County, MS.
4.	Elizabeth Daughdrill — bom in 1786 and married James Davis as already covered.
As with the early Davis lines, we cannot guarantee this early Daughdrill information. Because it does seem logical, we have included it in our research.
