Davis and Hadley Families in NC, Ireland and Scotland
Furnished by  Tom Helms
I am a descendant of Roswell Davis whom we believe was born in NC then migrated to Warren County, TN, and from there to Lawrence Co., AR. I have for quite some time been interested in the origin of the name, Roswell, and recently found the name of Lady Jane Roswell (b. 1596 in Perthshire, Scotland), who married James Hadley II (b. 1594 in Dublin, Ireland). Descendants of James II and Lady Jane emigrated to the U.S. (PA, DE, VA, and NC). I have found references to several Davis-Hadley marriages in NC, but so far I have not been able to make a direct connection with Roswell Davis.
