The only Davis family in this cemetery is in the oldest section, and very few of the Davis stones have survived intact. The only legible Davis family stones are from post 1900 burials. This family (Davis) name is only found in the oldest part of the cemetery, and most of the gravestones there are either too eroded to read or broken off with no writing remaining.

No legible stone found.
