B. K. DAVIS was born in Owen County, Ky., February 2, 1833, and is a son
of B. R. and Frances (Adams) Davis.  B. R. Davis was born in Fayette
County, Ky., in 1795.  He was a farmer, and a soldier of the war of 1812,
and participated in most of the battles of that war.  He moved to Owen
County when twenty years old, where he died in March, 1885, at the age
of ninety.  He was highly respected by all who knew him, and although he
took an active part in Owen County affairs, he never brought suit against
any man, and never was sued in his life.  Frances (Adams) Davis was a
daughter of Capt. Adams, a native of Virginia, who was a pioneer settler
in Kentucky.  He was a soldier in the Revolution.  B. K. Davis received
a good business education in the common schools of his native county. He
has made farming his life-long occupation and owns a most excellent farm
of 100 acres, valued at $80 per acre.  Mr. Davis has been identified with
the tobacco interest of his county, for which it is famous.  He is the
thirteenth of a family of fourteen children.  March 11, 1851, he married
Miss Margaret Ann Allnutt, daughter of James and Mary (Marsh) Allnutt,
natives of Owen County.  James Allnutt died in 1877, and his dying
admonition to his children was: "Boys, do as I have done."  Mr. and Mrs.
Davis have seven children, viz: Mary, wife of James Hunt; Louisa, wife of
Henry Plumb; James B., John E., William D., Adelia, Lora V., all of whom
are living.  Mr. and Mrs. Davis are faithful members of the Baptist Church,
and in politics Mr. Davis is a Democrat.  The Davis family is one of the
best and most prominent families of Owen County.
