I received a request several days ago for additional information on the father of Sina Hubbard's first born, Peter, who was a Union soldier named Jacob Davis.
That was all I had, but then did some digging. Here is the new info:
Jacob Davis, born Ohio about 1836.
Enlisted: 5 September 1862, mustered in 30 October 1862
Private, Co. D, 7TH Ohio Cavalry
Captured 31 July 1864 place not given
Died from disease at Florence Confederate Prison Stockade, Florence, Florence, SC
Buried at Florence National Cemetery
The 7th recruited from Hamilton, Clermont, Brown, Adams, Scotia, Athens, Galliard, Meigs, and Washington Counties.
"Honeycutt Family Tree" on Ancestry.com gives Jacob's middle initial as R and his father [no name given] born in Wales.
Sina was probably in Clinton Co. in 1860. [not located] Jacob's residence based on recruitment region was possibly Hamilton or Clermont Counties. The others listed above need to be searched as well.
Daniel S. and Joseph Davis are paternal candidates.
That's what I came up with!

Hi Terry, Peter Hubbard was my great great grandfather. I'm so very anxious to learn who his father's (Jacob Davis) father is. Because you see, Peter took his mother's last name instead of his fathers. This means then that technically, my grandmothers line, the Hubbards, were actually Davis's! I am stuck. I know Jacob is buried at Florence Cemetery and died as a POW. But I have no idea how to find out who his parents were... any suggestions?
