Abadiah Davis is seen as a granddaughter in the 1895 biography and a SAR paper made her daughter. I think it's accepted that she was born 1728 and marrying a Floyd so this is incorrect.

The other names are missing in most researched places such as Wikitree which has a Project Protection on this family.
William is attached there https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Davis-60560 with no sources but two children attached without a mother. Odd.
The Bio ONLY names:
CHILDREN OF NATHANIEL DAVIS AND HIS WIFE ELIZABETH HUGHES
1 Robert Davis who became, when quite young, his father’s agent and assistant in business. On account of his densely black hair and eyes, and his dark Indian complexion he was nicknamed “the black Davis” to differentiate between him and his fair- haired father. He married quite young, and removed to Georgia with his bride. After the Floyds went to Kentucky several of the Davises removed there from Georgia and settled in the eastern part of Christian County, which part was named Todd after the division of the county. One of the descendants, born in Todd County and carried to Mississippi as a weanling, lived to become the President of The Confederate States of America.
2 Mary Davis, who married Samuel Burkes, of Hanover County, the ancestor of several prominent Virginia families.
3 Martha Davis, who married Abraham Venable, another prominent family whose descendants number many prominent persons.
4 Abadiah Davis, who married William Floyd.
{my note: *this is the granddaughter! I have proposed a merge. This one shows born 1690. William Floyd is seen as born 1720 and a child Sally married a Powell--- they are correctly situated here on Geni.}

WeRelate https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Hannah_Davis_%2898%29 has a daughter Hannah Susanna Davis wife of David Cox 1689-1765
She is perhaps the same as the attached child at Wikitree with no sources and not mentioned in the Bio: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Davis-14552

But unlikely since her profile at Wikitree is entirely different https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Davis-14552:
Susanna Williams formerly Davis
Born 1684 in Isle of Wight, Colony of Virginia, British Colonial America
Daughter of Nathaniel Davis and Unknown (Hughes) Davis
Sister of Robert Davis, William Davis, Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Burks, Abediah Davis and Martha Hannah (Davis) Venable
Wife of Thomas Williams — married [date unknown] [location unknown]
Wife of Thomas Capehart — married [date unknown] [location unknown]

Mary Elizabeth Davis (Hughes) is my 9th great -

These lines are always being messed up one way or another. It is crazy how many times something has to be corrected-
The Floyd family has great interest in these lines too.
Maybe once fixed locking them would be great interest.

Tery Kempf my granny too! Another shared line.
I really need to put the SNPs for our matches in my tree.
This profile is relationship locked.
The ONLY children I have in my personal tree are Robert ‘the Black’ Davis; Mary Burks (Davis); Martha Venable (Davis).
I think William likely needs disconnected and will watch the profile for this family at Wikitree

This and a handful of others are popular and need constant watching, I agree
