    NOTE after Chapter 4 -- commenting and correcting Chapter 1:
    In the Chapter 1, you say -- The first house on "the hill" was owned and occupied by Otis Davis a son of Col. John Davis. It should have read John Davis; he married Laura Riggs. Their four sons were John Riggs, Isaac, Otis and William Hart. Otis died young.
