Below is an excerpt:
Sometime prior to September 21, 1691, John Davis married Mrs. Susannah Day, widow of
Solomon Day, of Stafford county, as on that date they conveyed to
George Brent two hundred acres of land previously owned by her former
husband. In 1694 John Davis had a Fairfax grant for 50 acres in Westmoreland
county ; and in 1696 one for 109 acres in Northumberland
county. Owing to the destruction of the early records of Stafford I
have not found John Davis' will, so cannot give date of his death and
names of his children ; but from our Bible records I get the name of his *****
son Thomas, b. August 1, 1693, and in the land grant records find mentioned
brothers William and John. Between 1722 and 1740 William
Davis had grants in Stafford and Prince William counties for about
1,250 acres of land, part of which adjoined that of brothers Thomas and
John. Thomas Davis was probably the second son of John and Susannah ********
Davis. Between 1725 and 1745 he was granted in Stafford and
Prince William counties about 1,550 acres of land ; and in some of the
patents he is styled " Mr. Thomas Davis." In 1737 he purchased from
his brother-in-law, Edwin Fielding, some land in Northumberland ****
county, and possibly owned other land by purchase.
