It is very possible that this John Davis was the son of John Davis who married second to my ancestor Mary wife of first husband John Parke Jr. and moved to Rowan Co. NC along with his and several of her grown adult children from Hampshire Co. VA/WV in the 1760s or 70s. I have some records on my home computer (I'm at work) of John's children's names - I am almost certain that he had a son or grandson named John - actually with the birthdate of 1802 it will probably be a grandson of this John Davis. I will check my records and get back to you on what I have on them.
