ALEXANDER A. DAVIS was born in Daviess County, Ky., March 23, 1836.  His
grandparents, Baxter and Mary (Webb) Davis, were early settlers of this
county, coming here from North Carolina.  His father, Thomas W. Baxter,
was born in Daviess County, Sept. 14, 1809, and in August, 1832, married
Judith Johnson, a native of Greenville County, N. C., born June 15,
1811.  After his marriage he bought a farm near Newville, where he lived
till 1835.  He then sold the farm and bought another on the Litchfield
road.  In 1853 he bought a place on the Green Brier road.  Mr. T. W.
Baxter died Sept. 4, 1858, and his wife Nov. 13, 1875.  They had a
family of sixteen children, ten of whom lived till maturity--Elizabeth
R., now Mrs. Orlander May; Archer G., married Charlotte Owen; Alexander
A., subject of this sketch; Baxter H. married Elizabeth Morris; Mary W.,
wife of Almarian May; Amelia J., wife of William May, Jr.; Samuel J.,
married Geneva A. Howard; Julius A., married Susan Campbell; William T.
married Elizabeth R. Howard; Americus F., married Ella Z. Reynolds. 
Alexander A. Davis was taken from home when two years of age, and lived
with his grandfather and uncles till fifteen.  He then returned home and
lived till nearly twenty-two years old, when, Jan. 7, 1858, he married
Helen, daughter of William May.  They have four children--John P.,
Artemus B., William T. and Sallie A.  After his marriage Mr. Davis
bought 155 acres of the old Archie Johnson place, and lived there till
1863.  He then traded his farm for one of 186 acres, belonging to
Anderson Johnson.  In 1865 he sold his farm, and was intending to go
West on account of the war, but peace being declared he bought the farm
of 130 acres, where he still resides.  Mr. Davis has been a member of
the Methodist church, South, since Christmas, 1853.  He was one of the
building committee of the Pleasant Ridge church, and probably did more
toward its building than any other man.  He has been Trustee since the
organization of the church, and Steward about eighteen years.
