My Wake Co. ancestor was Benjamin Davis, b ca 1743, died 1802 in Wake Co. NC. His wife was Hannah (maiden named unknown) who died abt 1815/1816. They lived in New Light District, on the Mill Branch of Horse Creek north of the Neuse River. Their neighbors were the Joplins and Mobleys. Benjamin's children were : Isham Davis, who md. Sally Edwards in Oglethorpe Co. GA; Sherwood Davis b 1767 who md. Laurany Campbell Watkins in Oglethorpe Co. (probably widow of Benjamin Watkins, s/o Reace Watkins); Aaron Davis who md. Priscilla McElroy in Oglethorpe Co.; Jonathan Davis; Benjamin Davis Jr. ; Rebecca Davis who md. John Coker/Crocker between 1802/1810. Benjamin also mentioned a grandson in his will, Joseph Davis. Isham, Sherwood and Aaron left Wake Co. abt 1791 and moved to Oglethorpe Co. GA. I've reached a dead end on this family and would appreciate any assistance whatsoever. The earliest record I have for Benjamin Davis is in 1765 when he purchased land in Johnston Co.,! NC. Melissa Davis Kitchens Oxford MS
