General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Davis

---

About 1660 a large number of Welsh Baptists headed by their pastor, John Mills, left Swansea, Glamorganshire, Wales, settling in Massachusetts. With this colony were three brothers, Daniel, John and Jonathan Davis. The first named was the founder of the Cumberland County, New Jersey, Davis family. From Massachusetts John Davis went to Long Island, thence to New Jersey, where he died in Pilesgrove township, Salem County, aged one hundred years. His wife, Dorothea (Hogbin) Davis, was a woman of wealth. From John Davis sprang Rev. David Davis, born in Philadelphia, great-grandfather of Julianna Davis, wife of Robert Carson Diehl. The line of descent is through David Davis, third son of John Davis. He was a justice of the peace, judge of Salem county courts, and was one of the four Friends who organized Pilesgrove Meeting. He married Dorothea Cousins, born in England. ¹
