Jim and list, What is the time frame on these Thomas Davises? I have a mini-file on a Thomas Davis who purchased land in Fayette County, PA from a Miller family that I suspect traces back ultimately to the Woodbridge/Rahway area. Various Miller assoicated with those listed in the deed below lived in Union Co, Monmouth Co and Hunterdon Co. NJ and most moved to Fayette Co. PA in the 1790 time frame or before. Andrew Miller is my line but the wife of Andrew Jackle(Yeagley in the English spelling) was a Miller who first was married to an unknown Davis and later married Andrew Yeagley in Hunterdon Co. in 1787 before moving to Fayette Co. PA. The brother of Andrew Miller, Peter Miller Sr. married Tacy Maxson, daughter of Mosher Maxson and lived in Monmouth Co and then Union or Middlesex Co before moving to Fayette Co. in 1790. Mosher Maxson was a Quaker originally associated with the Maxsons and Davises in Monmouth Co. who belonged to the Shrewsbury Seveth Day Baptist Church. This church who moved to Fayette Co. from Monmouth Co in 1789. So if this fits in your Davis line, I am all ears. Mike Miller Bk I P-230 14 Apr 1812.
