M. C. DAVIS, a native of Christian County, Ky., was born July 3, 1829, 
and is the fourth child born to Clement and Henrietta (Wriston) Davis, 
the latter a native of Virginia, and the former of South Carolina, from 
which State he came with his mother when about eight years of age, to 
Kentucky.  They settled in Christian County, where he lived until his 
death, December 3, 1845.  He first bought a farm in the north part of 
this county, which he owned for several years.  In 1831 he bought the 
farm now owned by his sons.  He was twice married, his first wife being 
a Miss Teague, of Virginia, and to whom was born one child, William C., 
who died, leaving a family, a few years ago.  To his second wife were 
born seven children, five of whom are living.  She died February 28, 
1860.  He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and participated in the 
battle of New Orleans.  M. C. Davis, the subject, received a good 
practical education.  He remained at home until May 17, 1855, when he 
married Caroline Tinsley, of Christian County.  He then, with two 
brothers, bought the interest of the remaining heirs in the homestead, 
and divided it equally among them.  Mr. Davis has added to his share 
until he now has about 200 acres.  Mrs. Caroline Davis died April 13, 
1882, leaving two children:  Lucy A. and Edward C.  Mr. Davis was next 
married, January 15, 1884, to Elizabeth A., daughter of John Campbell, 
of this county.
