Birth*4 May 1870 George was born at Fayette Co, WV, on 4 May 1870. George was listed as "son" of John Davis and Nancy Withrow in the 1880 census, but this is unlikely given Nancy's age. John's daughter Nancy had a natural son William in c 1864 and it is assumed that John and George, the younger "sons" listed with William in the 1880 census are brothers.2,1
