In the Administration papers of Thomas Lewis there is a mention of W. Davis (but no relation given). By any chance in the same source where you found Betsey Lewis' marriage to John Fair, can you find Margaret Lewis married to William Davis? This would give me solid direction in tracing my earliest Davis ancestor. Margaret Lewis & William Davis' first child was Ann, born circa 1803. This may give some guidance on their marriage date. I have used tax records to trace William Davis back to Brandywine Twp, Chester Co. In 1802, he was taxed as a freeman (21 but unmarried). In 1803, he was taxed as an inmate and listed as a blacksmith in Brandywine and remained there until Honey Brook (where Thomas Lewis died) in 1809 tax records. May be grasping at straws but worth a shot. Many thanks! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
