Davis-Magoon Family

John William Davis (1819-1912) and Abiah Magoon (1830-1917) lived and died in Quebec. They had fifteen children – eight sons and seven daughters. Twelve survived childhood, married and had children. If the Vanderven-Marcellus and Gouthro family trees are accurate, they had 83 grandchildren. 

 

I have multiple DNA matches with descendants of nine of Davis-Magoon children. Two of which are expected since they are siblings of my great-grandmother Matilda McFall. Based on matches with some of their descendants, I believe they are my father's great-grandparents.

* Means DNA match with one or more descendants. The higher the cM the closer the relationship.
