The Westerly Church called John Davis to ordanination as a gospel minister Nov.9,1743, a request which he declined. Soon after he moved his family to Shrewbury,New Jersey where he joined his father and other relatives in organizing the Shrewsbury Church. After the death of his father, the Shrewsbury Church called him to ordination June 19,1746. He sailed to Westerly for the ceremony where he was ordained by Rev. Joseph Maxson, assisted by Rev. John Maxson and Deacon Clarke. John Davis had been a deacon of the Westerly Church for thirty years previous. The first record book of the Shrewsbury church was purchsed by Rev. John Davis and presented to the church Dec.26,1752, for which he was paid from the church funds. This was the same book which the migran group carried to Virginia with them in 1789.
