Harriet DAVIS

1828 - 1837  (8 years)

• Name	Harriet DAVIS
  Born	14 Oct 1828  [1]
  	Age 6 on headstone would put birth in about 1831. But "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 57, reports birth date as Oct 14 1828.
  Gender	Female
  Died	4 Jun 1837	Doddridge Co, (W)VA   [1, 2]
  	Cause: injuries sustained in a tornado
  	Death date on her weathered headstone could be June 1 or June 4. "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 57, reports it as June 4, 1837. This contradicts Hardesty's assertion that the tornado that took down the SDB Church and killed Harriet Davis and her father occurred on June 3, 1833.
  Buried	Blockhouse Hill Cemetery (old SDB section), West Union, Doddridge Co, WV   [1, 3, 4]
