Hi All: I goofed and missed the boat - Aaron Davis WAS born in Mendon, and was the son of Phineas and Priscilla (Wood) Davis. Priscilla was the daughter of Samuel and Rachel 3(Rawson) Wood. Rachel 3 Rawson was the daughter of Rev Grindall 2 and Susannah (Wilson) Rawson. Back to Aaron - he was a millwright. He married Susannah Chaddock 12 Aug 1783 Milford, MA, and went first to Surry, NH, then on to Wardsboro, VT, where he died. He had 12 siblings. As to anyone sticking their nose in - good! Welcome all noses to help. We care and share.
