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.
