Biography

John Madison Davy (born June 29, 1835) was a Republican politician who represented New York in the United States House of Representatives during the Forty-fourth Congress. Serving a single term, he held office from December 6, 1875, to March 3, 1877, as the representative for New York’s 30th Congressional District. His service places him among the historical members of Congress from the state of New York in the post–Civil War era.

During his tenure in the House, Davy served as a member of the Republican Party at a time when the party was dominant in national politics and deeply involved in shaping Reconstruction-era and post-Reconstruction policy. Although specific committee assignments, legislative initiatives, and later career details are not provided in the available record, his term from 1875 to 1877 marks his principal period of federal public service. After completing this single term, he left Congress and is recorded as a former representative of New York.
