He is a son of Robert and Flora (Short) Davis. Robert Davis was of Welsh descent, and was born in VA in 1797. He went with his uncle to IL in 1807, his parents having died when he was an infant. In IL he grew ton manhood and married, but he was not permitted to live the time allotted to man, and died when in the prime of life, in 1823. His wife, who was a native of OH, was born about the same time as her husband, and died one year later. They left three children who grew to maturity, James C. being the only one now alive. His father having died when he was five years, and his mother when he was six years of age, he was taken by his father's uncle, J. C. Davis, with whom he lived until the latter's death in 1834. He was reared on a farm, and after the death of his guardian he went to Centerville, WI, where for three years he was engaged in various kinds of work, such as mining, teaming, etc. In 1837 he returned to his native county, and two years later married Sarah Moore, a daughter of Robert Moore, and a native of St. Clair Co., IL, born in 1821. Mrs. Davis died in 1849, leaving five children, viz: Fletcher (who is now a farmer in TX), Moses (a farmer in CA), Nancy J. (wife of George Tipton of Menard Co., IL), Palmyra (now deceased) and Arminda (wife of James Humphreys of Ripley Co., MO. In the year of his wife's death, Mr. Davis went overland to the far West, reaching CA after a five month's journey. He remained in the Golden State two years, engaged in mining, running a livery stable, and dealing in stock, after which he returned to IL. In July, 1852, he wedded Martha Moore, a sister of his first wife. She was born in St. Clair Co. in 1834.
