In a recent genealogy of one line DAVIS of the descendants of John Davis, of Derby, Connecticut, the author, George T. Davis, of New Rochelle, New York, says : "I have no positive knowledge of the date of the arrival of the original Davis in the col- onies." Although John Davis was called a Welshman, he appears in Derby, Connecticut, about 1690, at a time when very little immigra- tion was taking place and in a section where other Davis pioneers had come. The relation- ship of the numerous Davis pioneers in the first century of the settlement of New Eng- land has never been determined by genealo- gists. We know that many were related, and there is a strong probability that many were of Welsh ancestry. John Davis may have been son of Tobias Davis, of Roxbury. His wife Mary was widow of Jasper Gunn, who came from Roxbury, Massachusetts, to Derby, Con- necticut. Tobias Davis was in Roxbury as early as 1646, and his wife Sarah was buried there February 15, 1648. He married (sec- ond), December 13, 1649, Bridget Kinman ; he died April 25, 1690. His son John, born April 17, 1651, is mentioned in his will. There was also a William Davis in Roxbury early. Be- fore 1650 there were in Massachusetts alone thirty or more heads of families of the Davis surname. The name of John Davis' first wife and his age are not known.


(I) John Davis located in Derby, Connecti- cut, between 1685 and 1690, and became a prominent citizen. He married (second), May 12, 1691, Widow Mary Gunn. He and Mary Gunn were witnesses to a deed dated Febru- ary, 1691 (p. 94, Derby records). His request about this time for half a rood of land near his house on the eastern side of the highway along the hill toward Mr. Powers and the meeting house, in order to have room for a barn, was granted. He shared in a division of land in March, 1702. His name is in a list of inhab- itants of 1696. He married (third), about 1692, Abigail Tibbals, daughter of John, of Milford, Connecticut. Children of first wife: Sarah: John, mentioned below ; Samuel, mar- ried Mercy Bennett : George. Children of third wife: Mary, born August 2, 1693: Nathaniel.

Rev. Adam Blakeman, who survived his son John, said in his will: "I give to my daughter (daughter-in-law) Blakeman if she marry not John Thomas and shall take her friends' consent in the matter, or continue a widow, five pounds."
