Note the following records found in the extracted IGI: Saint Nicholas Acons, London

  • --Epharim Davis, son of Epharim, 5 February 1632
  • --Elizabeth Davis, dau. of Ephraim and Elizabeth, 25 Jan. 1633
  • --Samuell and William Davis, son of Ephraim and Elizabeth, 16 February 1634
  • --John Knoles to Elizabeth Davis, 11 Feb. 1637

As Rev. John Knowles had a biographical sketch in the _DNB_ (and is probably in the new _ODNB_), possibly this could be a correction

Begs question if widow Elizabeth Davis had son John junior out of wedlock, with Rev. John senior?
