Samuel Davis I (1610-1667) was born in either England or Wales and married Elizabeth Benton in 1637. In about 1642 they immigrated to America and settled in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. They were the parents of three children: Samuel Davis II (1638-1687), John Davis (1640-1688), and Arthur Davis I (1648-1718). Descendants live in North Carolina, California and other parts of the United States.

This work contains abstracts of the records of approximately 7,500 persons who were naturalized in the state of South Carolina between the years 1783 and 1850. As it is based not only on the records of various jurisdictions but on the various types of records associated with naturalization, such as declarations of intent, petitions and actual citizenship certificates, information given in the volume varies to a rather marked degree. In general, however, some or all of the following data is evident: name, country of origin, place of residence in the U.S., occupation, date of arrival in the U.S., and date of application or admission.

"Drawing on little-used state and county denominational records, privately held research materials, and sources available only in local repositories, W. J. Megginson brings to life African American society before, during, and after the Civil War. He portrays relationships - variously cordial, patronizing, and harsh - between African Americans and whites; the lives of free people of color; the primal place of sharecropping in the post-Civil War world; and the push for education and ownership of property as the only means of overcoming economic dependency."--BOOK JACKET.
