Henry Eugene Davies was born on July 2, 1836 in New York City, United States. He was the son of Henry Ebenezer and Rebecca Waldo (Tappan) Davies.
His original immigrant ancestor was John Davies, who came from Herefordshire to Litchfield, Connecticut, United States in 1735.
After spending a year at Harvard and a year at Williams, Henry graduated at Columbia in 1857, studied law, was admitted to the bar, and began to practise.
His first military service was as captain in the 5th New York Infantry, but he was appointed major, August 1, 1861, in the 2nd New York Cavalry (called the Harris Light Cavalry), and remained in the mounted service for the rest of the war.
As it was a part of McDowell’s corps, his regiment remained near Washington when the army moved in the spring of 1862, and so did not participate in the Peninsular campaign.
Under Judson Kilpatrick, who was its lieutenant-colonel and later its colonel, it had some experience in skirmishes, and saw its first hard fighting at the second battle of Bull Run.
From that time it served with the Army of the Potomac, but took no part in the battle of Gettysburg, being at Westminster, Maryland, with the pomattox, occasionally holding temporary command of a division. He took part in the great raids toward Richmond in 1864, and in the cavalry operations which immediately preceded Lee’s surrender.
He was appointed major-general of volunteers, May 4, 1865, and resigned from the army, January 1, 1866.
After the war he returned to the practise of law in New York, was for a time public administrator for the city, and was later assistant district-attorney for the southern district of New York. In the latter part of his life he made his home at Fishkill. He published Ten Days on the Plains (1871); a genealogical work, the Davies Memoir (1895); and a biography, General Sheridan (1895).
Until he was advanced to higher command, Davies served with it constantly, being promoted lieutenant-colonel, December 6, 1862, and colonel, June 16, 1863. He was appointed brigadier-general of volunteers, September 16, 1863, and commanded brigades in the second and third divisions of the Cavalry Corps.

Though without early military training, Davies was a cavalryman by instinct, and quickly learned his trade. His rise was steady and was well earned. General Rodcnbough describes him as “unpolished, genial, gallant".
On August 10, 1858 Davies married Julia daughter of John T. Rich.
