Title A name given to the resource David Davis Collection Subject The topic of the resource Davis, David, 1815-1886 Judges Supreme Court justices United States. Congress. Senate Lawyers Illinois--Bloomington Davis, George P. (George Perrin), 1842-1917 Illinois. General Assembly. House of Representatives Illinois. Circuit Court (3rd Circuit) Davis, Sarah Woodruff Walker, 1814-1879 Davis, Sarah W., 1852-1934 Description An account of the resource David Davis, a lawyer, politician, distinguished jurist and businessman, was born in Maryland, educated at Kenyon College in Ohio, and studied law at Yale University. Davis married Sarah Woodruff Walker in 1838 and they had five children including George Perrin Davis and Sarah "Sally" Davis. In 1844, Davis won election as a Whig to the Illinois Legislature, and four years later was elected Judge of Illinois Eighth Judicial Circuit, where he served on the bench during Lincoln's remaining years as an attorney on the circuit. The two became close friends, and Davis worked diligently as Lincoln's campaign manager at the 1860 Republican nominating convention in Chicago. In 1862, President Lincoln appointed Davis to the United States Supreme Court, where Davis wrote the majority opinion in Ex parte Milligan, a landmark decision restricting the rights of military courts to try civilians. In 1877, he resigned from the court after being elected to the United States Senate by the Illinois Legislature. Davis served as Senate president pro tempore from 1881 to 1883, and was known unofficially as "Mr. Vice President." He retired from the Senate in 1883. Davis invested in real estate with De Witt County attorney, Clifton H. Moore, and became a man of considerable wealth. He had the distinction of being the largest landowner in Illinois. At the time of his death, June 26, 1886, his estate was valued between four to five million dollars-a huge fortune in his day.                 The finding aid for the David Davis Family Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/165. Photographs in this collection include portraits of several members of the David Davis and George P. Davis families. The collection also includes portraits of Judge Davis' law colleagues, images of Bloomington, Illinois, and photographs of miscellaneous buildings throughout the United States.

Hawley to a post, if possible in the Artillery Service. Mr. H. certainly has the capacity to make a most useful and efficient officer; and it is a subject of deep regret to his freinds that difficulties at Cairo [sartyran?] when he was stationed for a time, (with the merits of which I am not acquainted) - operated to detach him from a line of employment for which he seems so peculiarly fitted. Personal freindship and family relations cause me to feel a deep solicitude in his behalf and to express an earnest hope that he may have another chance; if possible. I am quite aware of the overwhelming duties upon you at this time, but would be grateful if you would drop me a single line announcing to me your feelings in reference to Mr. H.

Granville. Ills Dec 15th, 64 Hon. Rich Yates Dear Sir. Yours Enclosing the Enclosed is before me. Should have been answered on yesterday but I could not. I am conversant with Many of the circumstances attending this Case brought before you by said letter. It is not necessary to give a detailed statement. The family of the boy are Comparative Strangers here. Their name is Moncsavie. It Seems this is the boy's second desertion. Hoever, probably, the name John Whisner given by the mother. It seems as far <hr /> as I can learn, that he first enlisted under his proper name. Was induced by his Mother and grandfather Whisner - a Copperhead to desert to Avoid being reported by some other relations, he Enlisted again - and was again induced to desert, as he says and is generally believed by his Mother and grandfather. The boy is less blameworthy than his frinds. He is not a deserter in heart but wanting in decisions of Character has been misled. He was concealed by the family for which they are likely to have to answer. The letter written to you was doubtless written by the grandfather, Whisner. The statements in many particulars are false. For instance those relative to Dr M Knight and Mr Wardlaw <hr /> The Dr was satisfied that he could not certify as to his disability only on their Statement, of the truth of which he had but very little, if any, Evidence. I know Mr W. arrested him with reluctance. only from Sense of his duty as Depy Provost Marshal. As to his withholding papers, Mr. W. says it is false Every word of it, and I believe him. Also, I am Satisfied no reliable or influential Union Men urged an Appeal to you. Other statements I might make, but these are perhaps all that are necessary. Please accept my thanks for your congratulations on account of our success in the important issues before the Nation. I of course feel some satisfaction in the part of success which falls to me. And I trust I am not insensible to the responsibility of the position. <hr /> Our State must be retrieved from the odium resting on us from former wrong legislation, and placed on that vantange ground Which its patriotism, population and resources demand. Amongst the most important things will be the Election of a fit man to the U. S. Senate. Your favor on this subject has been reserved but pressure of their duties has postponed a reply.

Granville. Ills Dec 15th, 64 Hon. Rich Yates Dear Sir. Yours Enclosing the Enclosed is before me. Should have been answered on yesterday but I could not. I am conversant with Many of the circumstances attending this Case brought before you by said letter. It is not necessary to give a detailed statement. The family of the boy are Comparative Strangers here. Their name is Moncsavie. It Seems this is the boy's second desertion. Hoever, probably, the name John Whisner given by the mother. It seems as far <hr /> as I can learn, that he first enlisted under his proper name. Was induced by his Mother and grandfather Whisner - a Copperhead to desert to Avoid being reported by some other relations, he Enlisted again - and was again induced to desert, as he says and is generally believed by his Mother and grandfather. The boy is less blameworthy than his frinds. He is not a deserter in heart but wanting in decisions of Character has been misled. He was concealed by the family for which they are likely to have to answer. The letter written to you was doubtless written by the grandfather, Whisner. The statements in many particulars are false. For instance those relative to Dr M Knight and Mr Wardlaw <hr /> The Dr was satisfied that he could not certify as to his disability only on their Statement, of the truth of which he had but very little, if any, Evidence. I know Mr W. arrested him with reluctance. only from Sense of his duty as Depy Provost Marshal. As to his withholding papers, Mr. W. says it is false Every word of it, and I believe him. Also, I am Satisfied no reliable or influential Union Men urged an Appeal to you. Other statements I might make, but these are perhaps all that are necessary. Please accept my thanks for your congratulations on account of our success in the important issues before the Nation. I of course feel some satisfaction in the part of success which falls to me. And I trust I am not insensible to the responsibility of the position. <hr /> Our State must be retrieved from the odium resting on us from former wrong legislation, and placed on that vantange ground Which its patriotism, population and resources demand. Amongst the most important things will be the Election of a fit man to the U. S. Senate. Your favor on this subject has been reserved but pressure of their duties has postponed a reply.
