Married Louisa in 1855
When the war broke out, Jack was in a fever to enlist lest the fighting end before he got to camp. With the help of neighbors, Mrs. Davis hastily made him a gray uniform. The day after the suit was finished he left for war accompanied by a servant on horseback carrying among other things a little cookstove strapped to the saddle so he could prepare his masters meals. The would be soldier returned the next week rejected because of a physical disability. However, Mr. Davis ardor for the Confederacy remained undimmed and his outspoke sympathy for the cause kept him in a bad light with the Federals. Once he was imprisoned three months and was released only after Judge Edward Hazzard East Nashville, a friend of the Davises intervened in his behalf with Union authorities in Columbia, TN.
The Davis family did not move here until around 1880.
