Davis was a common Welsh name in early 18th century northeastern Maryland. There were Millses there also - probably Welsh in origin - and there were Mills-Davis marriages. One was of Jacob Mills born 1720, possibly in Frederick Co or Baltimore or Cecil Co to Catherine Davis. In another reference, and in his 1793 will,, Jacob's wife was named Ann Davis. The Davises were part of the Welsh Baptist movement, also - see records of the Tonoloway, Great Bethel, and Forks of Cheat Baptist churches for 18th and early 19th century members Ted Mills.
