He bought up the largest portion of upper Beech Creek in the 1830s-1850s. Ten children were born to Anderson and Litton Davis. Many of their descendants still reside in the area of Upper Beech Creek. Anderson Davis was a community worker. He donated land for the Old Union Community Building on 14 Nov 1859 and also for various cemeteries, including this one.
