Mariah Jane Davis was the second child of seven born to Mayberry Davis and Izilla Kidwell. She was born on December 10th, 1847 in Clark County, Marshall, Illinois.

In 1850, when Mariah was a very young child, her father left for California in search of gold. He left his wife Izilla and the children ... James Nelson, Mariah Jane and Madison Davis in Clark County Illinois. Mayberry didn't make a fortune in mining. Instead, he became a successful farmer. In 1855 he returned to Illinois to bring his wife and three children out west to live on his new farm. They traveled to California via the Panama Route. Upon settling in Afton, California there were four more siblings born to Mayberry and Izilla.
