• Notes

  George Davis 1616-1667 George Davis was born in Kent England came to New England as a young man. His name first appears in Salem, Mass reports in 1641 but he probably had been living there for several years before that. He married Sarah Clarke 1642 and their first 2 children were born in Salem. By 1664 he was living in Reading where he was a proprietor and was admitted a freeman 26 May 1647. He was a selectman for Reading and was a man of property and influence. George was a weaver by trade and later in addition became a ship owner. In 1652 the town of Reading ordered lots to be laid out and George drew 11 lots; also drew additional lots in the "Division of the Great Swamp." Son Benjamin was chosen Clerk of the Market. Reading Vital Records show the birth of his 3rd daughter Sarah and 5 more siblings. George died at Cape Fear 14 July 1667 while on a voyage. He had written his will 7 Dec 1664 and it was proved 30 Sept 1667. In this will he named wife and son Benjamin as executors; bequeathed his looms and the contents of his ship to son Joseph; and mentions 5 daughters under age. George and Sarah Clarke Davis had 8 children - 7 are listed here: Benjamin - resided in Lynn Joseph - 1643-1676 Hannah - b.3 May 1648 Married 1669 John Boutwell Sarah - b.1 Oct 1651 Elizabeth - b.16 Jan 1654 Married 1678 Timothy Wiley Mary - b.16 Jan 1657-8 John - b.20 July 1660 d. 4 Nov 1660 Susanna b.11 May 1662 (Interesting side note that is not sourced: After death of George, Sarah Clarke Davis married Nicholes Rist who bailed her out by petition after she was arrested for witchcraft.)
