| Captain James Davis b abt 1575 England d 02/16/1623 VA, Henrico Co, James City
Sea Captain, Ship Builder
Original Settler of Jamestown son of Sir Thomas Davis b 1550 Was member of the London Company (Virginia) and the Plymouth Company (Massachusetts) and settled in Virginia. Came over on the "Margaret" to Jamestown in 1619. During that same year he was in the Assembly of Virginia from "Martin's Brandon." Member of the Board of Directors of the London Company, and later of the Virginia Company grandson of Sir James Davis b 1520 Gloucestershire, Acton Turville d abt 1575 Gloucestershire, Acton Turville gr grandson of James Davys m Rachael Keyes b 1590 England d 1633 VA, Warwicksqueaiak |
He was an ancient planter as he was one of the original settlers of Jamestown. When he was 27 years old and set sail on 1st June 1607 from Plymouth, England to Virginia. Captain James Davis has been mentioned as Gentleman, Captain, Captain of Fort Sagadahoc, Maine, Colony Governor; original settler of Jamestown, Virginia, and "Ancient Planter." It appears that he spent a considerable amount of time sailing back and forth between England and Virginia, and Boddie notes he "was among the company of men assembled by Sir John Popham, 1607, to settle the region of Virginia which later was designated New England." In 1607 he helped establish the first English colony in New England (Sagadahoc, Maine). Unfortunately the colonists there had a very hard time of it and most returned home to England by 1610. At that point, James sailed on to Jamestown in Oct. of 1609 aboard the ship Virginia where he became one its earliest settlers, one of the "ancient planters." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Mary Bowers.)
Read more at Suite101: Descent from Virginia Colonist Capt. James Davis: Descendants Eligible for Virginia Lineage Society Membership | Suite101.com suite101.com Major Thomas Davis was born in 1612/13 in Jamestown (Chuckatuck), Nansemond County, Virginia. He was the son of Captain James Davis and Rachell Keyes. Major Thomas Davis married Elizabeth Davis circa 1639/40.2,3 Major Thomas Davis died before 20 September 1683 in Nansemond County, Virginia. The Davis family, James, Rachell and young Thomas who must have been about 4 at the time, appear to have made a trip to England and are shown on Passenger and Immigration Lists returning to Virginia in 1617 on the "George." This appears to be when they brought with them and paid transport for George Cooke and Alice Mulleines.4,5 |
Thomas was shown to be the son of Captain James Davis based on the following grant to him of land
in Isle of Wight:
Granted by the Governor and Captain General of Virginia, Sir John Harvey, Kt., to "Thomas Davis,
Planter, of Warwicksqueick, sonn & heir apparant to James Davis, Gent., late of Henerico in Va.,
dec'd., 300 acs. abutting Ely. on Warwicksqueicke Cr. about 2 mi. from the mouth, beg. at a
point of land called the redd point, extending Wly. up the Cr. &c. 6 Mar. 1633, p. 128. In right
of his father, an Ancient Planter for his per. devdt; 100 acs. for trans. of 2 servts.:
Georg Cooke, Alice Mulleines whoe came in the George 1617 & 100 acs. in right or Rachell Davis,
Mother to sd. Thomas, for her per. devdt., whoe was an Ancient Planter." (Nugent)
The Virginia Asssembly had decreed that planters who came at their own cost before the coming away of Sir Thomas Dale, that is prior to April 1616, should have on the first division of land, 100 acres for their own personal adventure and also the same for every single share, amounting to the sum of 12-10-0 paid into the London Company of Virginia. This was the reason that Captain Thomas Davis received this grant of land, as the heir of his father. His mother Rachell Davis was probably dead long before 1633.6,7,8 Purse & Person further states that Thomas sold 50 acres of this tract on 13 July 1636 to Ambrose Meador and John White and on 23 Sept. 1648 sold 200 acres of the same to John Moone, the consideration for the latter being 2000 pounds of tobacco and the deed reciting that Thomas Davis was "of Nansemond." (Isle of Wight Wills & Patent Bk.) Thomas Davis had many other land grants, deeds and patents which can be viewed by clicking here.9 |
In 1637, Thomas appears to have settled in the area which became the Upper County of New
Norfolk in 1637 and Nansemond in 1642, as evidenced by two patents, one of May 22nd and the
other dated November 23rd of 1637 in which he was given 400 acres. And 7 years later, on
August 10th 1644, he was granted 300 acres which adjoined the land of Thomas Jordan, deceased.
"The latter grant included his original 100 acres in the Upper County of New Norfolk assigned
to him 22 May 1637."10
An affidavit in the Admiralty Court in London in 1639 was made by Thomas Davis, born 1613, son of Captain James Davis, in which he stated he was "A Merchant of Chuckatuck in Virginia, aged 26 years" (Bodie).11,12 In 1654 he was a Justice of Nansemond but "at his request on October 11, 1660 he was dismissed from the county commision by the General Assembly."13 |
According to Purse & Person, this Major Thomas Davis should not be confused with another
Thomas Davis or Captain Thomas Davis of Warwick River "who in the muster of 1624/5 gave
his age as 40 years, stating he came in the John & Francis in 1623. This Capt. Thomas Davis
of the muster owned land in Elizabeth City, 1624, in that part which became Warwick River County.
He was Burgess for Warwick in 1655-56 and sheriff, 1663-64, and died by 2 Nov. 1671 when
land formerly owned by him was regranted" (See MCGC, Leonard & Bodie). There seems to have
been a question of whether this Captain Thomas Davis of Warwick and Major Thomas Davis of
Nansemond are one and the same and it seems they are not.14,15
In 1662, Warfield notes that Thomas acquired lands in Somerset County, Maryland and probably resided in Maryland for several years thereafter but returned to Virginia prior to his death.1 In 1674, Major Thomas Davis and Mr. Barneby Kearney were summonded to the grand jury and paid 200 pounds of tobacco as a fine for not appearing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

James Davis moved his family back and forth from Virginia to Maryland which can be seen since he proved rights for transporting his two sons, both named Thomas (first Thomas b. 1666, d. 1669; second Thomas b. 1669), from Virginia to Maryland on August 10, 1671, and on 23 Sep 1675 he proved rights for transporting his daughter Rachell from Va to Md. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thomas signed the Quaker Register on 29 March 1688 as "Couzen" on the occasion of James Jordan's marriage to Elizabeth Ratliff of Isle of Wight County.2,3 One of the earliest records found of Thomas Davis in Anne Arundel County is in 1696 when he was witness to a will. On October 20, 1701, at "Davistone," a 240-acre survey was made for Thomas Davis in Annel Arundel County."4 On 9 March 1721/2 Thomas signed as "of the Parrish of Checketauck in the county of Nancemond in Virgnia" conveyance to Ephraim Wilson 25 acres called "King's Purchase," part of 450 acres of "Davis's Choice" on the south side of Back Creek, which had been granted 24 Feb. 1665/6 to Thomas Davis, "now lately deceased, the grantor having become possessed as heir of said Thomas." As the footnote seems to explain it: The deed (Somerset Co., Md., Deed Bk.) did not state the relationship between the Thomas Davis mentioned, then deceased, and the grantor. The Thomas Davis, deceased, was apparently the brother of James Davis, James being the father of this Thomas Davis, the grantor, who had inherited the land as the eldest son of Thomas's eldest brother. It has been claimed that he is the Thomas Davis of Anne Arundel Co., Md., who deposed Feb. 1726/7, he was aged 58 and 9 July 1740, he was aged 71 (Anne Arundel Co., Md. Land Commission Bk.), these ages being in agreement with a 1668/9 birth, married Mary Pierpont and died 11 April 1749. This Thomas Davis, however, had children baptized in the Church of England as early as 1697 (All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel Co., Md., Register, 1669-1721) and made oath (rather than affirmation) to the two depositions stating his age. There is no evidence he ever was a Quaker." On the other hand, it appears there is a question about what or which Thomas Davis we have here a Purse & Person states: "Since his father's Maryland associations appear to have ended in 1678, when he [Thomas] was still a child, and since Thomas Davis is not an unusual name, further evidence is needed to establish a connection betwen Nansemond Co., Va., and Anne Arundel Co., Md. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
