• Notes

  John Davis (II), 1648-1720 Sarah Watts, about 1664-1728 There were several John Davises in 1600s and 1700s in Virginia. Most Davis researchers say that our John Davis, reportedly known as John Davis, Jr., was born in 1648 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia to John Davis (Sr. or I) (about 1610-1665) and Mary Green, who had emigrated from England to Virginia. According to the Christ Church Parish, Virginia Marriage Records, 1653-1812, John Davis married Sarah Watts (about 1664-1730) on January 26, 1679 in Christchurch, Middlesex, Virginia. Sarah would have been only 15 years old if her birth year is correct. Sarah is believed to have been the daughter of John Watts, born 1638, and Alice English, born 1639. It is generally reported that John and Sarah had the following two children: (unusual in those days to have only two children) Hannah F. Davis, born about 1680, married John Graves John Davis (III), born about 1681, married Catherine Ragland Could John and Sarah have divorced, after a very short marriage? Some genealogists say Sarah Watts married Henry Pope in 1683 and had eleven additional children. If so, there would have been a divorce since John Davis was still alive in 1683. John Watts’ (Sarah's presumed father) will mentions a daughter Sarah Pope and a son-in-law Henry Pope. John Davis (II) is believed to have died September 20, 1720 in Isle of Wight, Virginia. Sarah is believed to have died October 28, 1728, also in Isle of Wight, Virginia.
