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.
