Eliz, thank you for this information on Hezekiah and, in another email, Llewellyn Davis' grave location. That is just what I was looking for. I called the church today and the sexton was very helpful in looking up graves - he found another Llewellyn David or Davis that the Rev War vet. He said he would send a scan of all the Davis/Davies and Llewellyns in their records and it appears from our conversation that it includes people not on Find a Grave (perhaps because the graves are no longer legible). I wasn't very clear in my previous postings. Hezekiah Davies was son of Nathaniel Davies who was son of David Davies. The latter two emigrated from Wales; Hezekiah was born in Chester Co. David Davies' father was John David Llewellyn of Clynherkin, Manordeifi Parish, Pembrokeshire (this recently discovered) and I was hoping to find some evidence that these David Llewellyns, one of whom was a neighbor of the Davies, were cousins. If they were, it does not appear that they were close, since there is no evidence that they were mentioned in each others' wills, etc, and from what I could tell from the phone call today their graves were in the same area but not adjoining or nearly so.

I found lots on Hezekiah and little on Llewellyn but if the notes on findagrave are right his father was not the same as Hezekiah. Doesn't mean they aren't cousins.

MATRONS OF THE REVOLUTION. ANNE SCHENCK DAVIES. Anne Schenck was born March 19, 1763, on Long Island. She was the daughter of Nicholas Schenck (1732-1810), and his wife, Wilhelmje Wyckoff. The Schencks, it is said, could trace their ancestors back to the time of Charlemagne, in the eighth century. They were a very prominent family in the early days of the settlement of Long Island. Anne Schenck was married October 29, 1780, at Flatlands, L. I., Kings county, by the Rev. Vansinder, to Hezekiah Davies. She was a young lady of good education, and a patriotic lover of her country. It has been stated in some of the histories that the Schencks were Tories. This was not correct. So far as regards Anne's parents they were patriots, devoted to their country's cause. It may be well, perhaps, to refer to her husband's services in the War of the Revolution.
