Apr. 13, 1762, he purchased the whole of Simon Stone's right, or share, in this township ; and about one year later that of Wm. Dcan. He appears to have lived in the western part of the town, near the river road. His wife's name was Abigail* - . Selectman 1767. He prob- ably d. in 1784 or '85. It appears quite probable that he was the father of Capt. Isaac Davis (1), and he may have had an- other son, Simon, m., 1788, Deborah Rice.
