Reverand William Davis Sr Jan 7 1765 "Orange County, Old Virginia" Nancy Easton (Eastin) Feb 5 1789 "Orange County, Old Virginia" October 31 1831 "Elbert County, Georgia" "First Baptist minister in this line of the Davis family. he was from an Episcopalian family and became a member of the ""Church of the Holy Light"" (later known as Baptist) at the age of 12. By the end of his 13th year he had converted his entire family; parents, brothers and sisters; to the Baptist faith.
At the age of 16 he joined the Colonial Forces under the direct command of General Marquis de Lafayette, and fought with colonial troops until the end of the war. About 6-7 months before the surrender of British Troops, William was seriously wounded in the head and went several days without food and little water. William and his friends who fought with him, stated that the General Lafayette heard of the young mans plight and sent for William. The General himself, tended to William's wound. William was at the surrender at Yorktown.
William became an ordained minister at the age of 21 and was a minister of the faith until the day of his death in 1831. William preached at non-denominatial meetings throughout his career, including Methodist, Friends, and even Episcopalian.
In his later years he suffered greatly from 'dropsy' (a collection of water or blood in the body. Also known as defluxion, possibly DVT syndrome).
His last illness came while he was in Elbert County, Georgia attending a Methodist meeting.
Of his nine children four of his sons became ministers or deacons of the church and three of his sons-in-law were ministers or deacons. His wife Nancy Easton Davis was to become a professor of the Baptist faith after William's death." prairielady@att.net "William Davis' will and personal diary. Revolutionary War Records, DAR Records"

John Mesnard I "bapt : February 15, 1715/16 @ the French Church" New York City Ann Bradt 29 Sept 1738 Dutch Church (middle) of New York City Aft 1776 Greenwich "He claimed losses during the R-War so he was alive then. This marriage produced a John II another produced Thomas. There are no church records for any Mesnard activity while they lived in Greenwich. They most likely belonged to the 2nd Cong church. They lived at the bottom of that hill and most likely had a mill on the north side of Rt 1 up stream of the current mill ponds. Thomas may have married one of Zeb Meads daughters. I guess this from a probate record where Thomas I assme is dead and a boy opted to live with his older brother. The first and 2nd names of the two boys would suggest a Mead and Lockheart marriage. Zeb was married to a Lockheart and had several daughters not accounted for. I have much more info on John II since there are family records. John II married the nextdoor neighbor Mary Knapp, dau of Timothy, son of Isreal. Timothy was thrown into Simsbury Copper mine for betraying his father and Gen Putnam at Knapps Tavern during the R-War. Putnam barely escaped the trap by his historic ride down a stepped cliff."

Aaron married Elizabeth UNKNOWN before 1644. Aaron Knap(p) was possibly from Yorkshire England. His ancestry is unknown, but he most likely arrived in America about 1638. Aaron was able to bear arms in 1643 for which he received an allottment of land at Taunton, Massachusetts where he then lived. Aaron took the Oath of Fidelity in 1657. He was made Freeman Jun 7, 1659. He was on the jury to investigate the death of James Wyatt, Jul 5, 1664 and was one of thirteen persons to view the body of Thomas Bradley, found dead on the highway on July 24, 1653. A History of Taunton, Massachusetts by Samuel Hopkins Emory, D.D. published in 1898 states that Aaron was in the 1st Train Band at Plymouth in 1622, but this is not likely, since he and his son Aaron were listed with the ""Second Plymouth Colony"" of 1638. Aaron received his division of land Dec 28, 1659 - ""Aaron Knap, pounds 0, shillings 7, pence 9, 2 heads 32 acres."" These lands had been previously granted by the Court, June 6, 1659, to those to whom the North Purchase had been granted. A deed was appointed to be recorded, dated Aug 27, 1666, between Aaron Knapp, of Taunton, and John Eedey, of Plymouth. In Aug.1689 Aaron's name appears in the Confirmation Grant of William Bradford, either as a Proprietor of Taunton, Cohannet, or its Northern Purchase, Assonet Neck. Aaron Knap was a Constable in 1673 (See Boston Transcript, Dec 1, 1932 for Cobb-Knapp-Hoskins records " http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/k/n/a/Vincent-E-Knapp/index.html?Welcome=1070993548 vincent.knapp@verizon.net "Aaron Knapp of Taunton, Mass. in 1638 and some of his descendants., 1961 Revision. by Alfred Averill Knapp, MD."
