• Photos		Amos and Cynthia This picture of Amos and Cynthia was probably taken between Sep 1861 and May 1862, since this is the period that Amos was in the Union Army. Amos was born 22 Nov 1808 in Eastport, Maine and died 13 Sep 1886 in Westport, New Hampshire. Cynthia was born 28 July 1814 in Winchester, New Hampshire and died 19 Jan 1870 in Winchester, New Hampshire. They were married 5 April 1832 in Winchester, New Hampshire. According to his Civil War papers, Amos was 5'9", with brown hair, blue eyes and a florid complexion. He apparently lied about his age to join the army, a not uncommon occurrence in those days. He was listed as age 44 when he was discharged from the army, but was actually 60. He served but a short time, from Sep 1861 to May 1862, when he was discharged because of poor health, suffering with rheumatism and deafness. Thanks to Sharon Goodman for sharing this picture with me. The picture had been in her family for several generations and had been mistakenly thought to be the parents of Sarah M. and Eliza E. Clark. Sharon's mother discovered the error when she saw a picture of Cynthia and realized it was the same woman as in this photograph, and Doris Sheridan confirmed that it is indeed Amos and Cynthia.
  		Cynthia Davis This is a scan of a photocopy of a very old picture, so the quality is not very good. I have cleaned it up some and believe it is probably close to the original. Cynthia Ann Combs was born 28 July 1814 in Winchester, New Hampshire, and died 19 Jan 1870 in Winchester, New Hampshire. That would place the date of this picture prior to 1870. She was the daughter of Anthony Combs, Jr. and Abigail Aldrich, and the wife of Amos Davis. Cynthia Ann (Combs) Davis was my GGG-Grandmother. Thanks to Doris R. Sheridan for sharing this picture with me.
