Davis family of Orangeburg Co. SC

Based on cemetery records, Daniel David Davis was born in 1805 and died in 1882. He appears in the Orangeburg Co. census records in 1850-1880. His wife was Catherine Fralick (1814-ca. 1905).

Does anyone have information going further back?

I suspect Asbury Davis, Ellen's first husband, was a cousin of hers; Martin Fralick definitely was. Ellen had three children by Asbury Davis (Mary Cornelia, Edward Patrick, and Caroline Davis) and five children by Martin Fralick. These will be listed on a Fralick page currently under construction.
