General Notes: Husband - William Davis


He became a resident of Solebury township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in his youth, and while tradition relates that he was of Welsh ancestry, his environment and associations strongly indicate that either he or his father was a native of the north of Ireland, others of the name having emigrated from Ulster and settled on the Delaware in that vicinity shortly prior to the earliest record we have of him.
