I've finally finished the section for Jahu (Jehu, Jahue, etc) Davis, whom most people find mis-identified in public records as John Davis. The bulk of his descendants are from his son, Thomas Anderson Davis, though three of his daughters are known to have also started families.
Rather than creating a PDF of just the section for Jahu Davis, I have made one for the entire Aaron Davis Chapter:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ppstqvhbe33vefp/Aaron%20Davis.pdf?dl=0
Thus, there are some minor changes to the three earlier sections that I had produced for this chapter.
At some point I will reformat the book so that only a few generations of descendants are included. When I do that, I will create a second volume that includes only the descendancy lists for the three Davis families. A big reason for doing this is because indexing the book with the number of people that it currently includes will be a nightmare. So the plan is to include a full name index for the first volume and probably no index for the second volume (that really is a decision for later in the process, so who knows what will actually happen?).

Aaron Davis' Daughter, Elizabeth (Davis) Henson
I actually had finished the re-write of this section of the Aaron Davis chapter at the same time as I had done the previous section, but figured it was best not to put both sections out at the same time.
Most of this section was done after I subscribed to Newspapers.com, so the listings are a bit more detailed and the citations are somewhat abbreviated. I've decided to include living people, but generally do not provide birth and death information after the mid-1940s or so.
You might have noticed in the previous section that I have added chapter name headers to each chapter, making it clear (if a single page is printed) that these are descendants of, for instance, Aaron Davis. I had also re-titled the book to The First Davis Family of Jackson County, Illinois, but have since changed it back to the original title because Nathan and Clement Davis had also arrived in Jackson County around 1808 or so. Thus it is not possible to determine which family arrived first.

Since printing the above I've improved the newspaper citations, so that it is as easy as possible to find the right newspaper and zoom in on the information of interest. I've also started replacing the citations Find A Grave bios and obits with the same information from a specific newspaper, where possible.
Descendant surnames in this section:
Shrewsberry, Lynch, Bartlett, Vollmer, Mattingly, Fry, Drumtra, Morris, Elmore, Callahan, Isom, Aselmeier, Davis, Mills, Zitta, Blumyer, Goehl, King, Bouck, Evans, Keck, Riseling, Patterson, Lancey, Tweedy, Will, Treadway, Stanford, Overstreet, Whisler, Talbot, Williamson, Wright, Bowman, Cairns, Philp, Bowers, Crisler, Bagley, Levan, Borgsmiller, Imhoff, Shannon, Vancil, Hanna, Eatherly, Carden, Smith, Morgan, Popejoy, Klein, Anderson, Miller, McBride, Thompson, Hamblen, Kessel, Rohlfing, Enders, Moeller, Tope, Heiple, Bryant, Fuhrhop, Summers, Weseloh, Morrow.

Aaron Davis' daughter, Matilda Priscilla (Davis) Bradshaw
This section of the chapter on Aaron Davis has taken a while to work through, mainly because of the depth of research necessary to try to make sense of Eliza Evaline Bradshaw (daughter of John and Matilda Priscilla [Davis] Bradshaw) and her marriages to Henry Painter and Joseph Victor Glodo. The result of that effort is somewhat speculative, but I believe I am on far more solid ground than speculation that has been done by others. And I suspect that whoever in the future pays to get a copy of Joseph Victor Glodo, Sr.'s Civil War pension application will likely find that I am correct in most, if not all, important details.
So here is the link to the recent draft of the section about Matilda Priscilla (Davis) Bradshaw:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0hs4w3s2ifbamhh/Matilda%20Priscilla%20Davis%20Bradshaw.pdf?dl=0
Note that the citations in this section are a bit too detailed, and I will likely pare them down the next time I review it. In the next section that I am working on (Elizabeth [Davis] Henson), the citations are pretty much limited to those that prove a family connection, and even some minor connections are not cited.
Also, I recently subscribed to Newspapers.com, so some of the citations for this section will eventually be replaced with newspaper citations.
Descendant surnames for this section include:
Woodward, Dorway, Layne, Gillooly, Sloan, Claussen, Herring, Ledbetter, Sanders, Paulus, Tucker, Cattoor, Pinkston, Cornwell, Friedemann, Kessler, Reeves, Prater, Fry, Harasek, Bradshaw, Craig, Carmack, Lee, Fly, Bateman, Balling, Hill, Danback, Douthitt, Painter, Glodo, Sickmeier, Speis, Whelchel, Callahan, Guetersloh, Heeszel, Gannon, Ogle, Todd, Morgan, Carter, Hawkins, Kueker, Holcomb, Richardson, Brown, Cuttill, Mason, Ralls, Holderfield, Flood, Jelley, Cochran, Gola, Querling, Hagemier, Verble, Fricke, Stewart, Kilby, Hodge, Schuenke, Burcham, Maciejewski, Daniels, Spearhouse, Dunn, Reeder, Rogers, Cox, Thurman, Phelps, and Gasawski.
It is probably worth noting our current situation. As most of you know, Alea and I have spent the past two+ years traveling around the U.S., camping in our 12' Camp Inn teardrop trailer. For the winter (from now through at least February) we will be camping within 100 miles or so of Orlando, Florida. Most of the time we will have decent cell reception, which is necessary for me to continue to research and write the book. But that won't always be the case, and at times camping conditions will be far from favorable for making much progress. So I will continue to plug away at it, but don't be surprised if the pace of progress varies considerably.
