Davis, Garrett (1801–72) U.S. representative/senator; born in Mount Sterling, Ky. He served Kentucky in its legislature and at its constitutional convention. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives by a Whig majority he served from 1839–47. A renowned orator, he was sent to the U.S. Senate in 1861, where he served until his death. Although a supporter of the Union, he grew critical of Lincoln's policies and was elected to his second term as a Democrat. |
