Ashley L. Davis, student 1848-1849

Davis, a farmer in Lunenburg County, VA in 1860, enlisted with his younger brother, Nicholas Edmunds Davis, Jr., on June 7, 1861 as a private in G of the 9th VA Cavalry. A Lunenburg County history indicates Davis was wounded at Fredericksburg, VA on an unknown date. Davis does not appear on company rolls after Feb. 1862 and it is unknown when he left the company.

He was a farmer in Pittsylvania County in 1870 and by 1880 was a tobacco dealer in Danville, VA. He died April 7, 1903 and is buried in Mathews County, VA in Christ Church Kingston Parish Cemetery.
