Biography

The following profile has been created from sources relating to individuals with the name Ichabod / Ichabad Davis. A connection with the family of Rees Davis d.1638 is presumably derived from the following book: Davis Families. [1] Mortimer-1706 11:06, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Ichabod was born about 1569. Ichabod Davis died about 1666.[citation needed]

Ichabod Davis was born in 1548 in Benefield, Northamptonshire, England, his father, Rees, was 13. He married Ms. Susy in 1590 in England. They had three children in 15 years. He died in 1603 in Northamptonshire, England, at the age of 55.[citation needed]

The profile for Robert Davis was removed as a son. We have no evidence for his parents, and this Ichabod is at least a generation too soon for Robert who was married by about 1645 and had children born between 1645 and 1660.

One of the sources points to the marriage of an Ichabod Davis to Mehitabel Abbot (b 27 Feb 1699). This could not have been the identical Ichabod Davis, born 1569.[2]

Clarence W. Bowen reports that Dea. Ezra Davis (b Roxbury 7 Mar 1711), son of Ichabod Davis and his wife, Bethia.[3] Bowen also reports that Mary Davis (b Roxbury 20 Mar 1701), daughter of Ichabod Davis and his wife, Bethia Hopkins, married to Josiah Hammond.[4] Vols 4 and 8 are not accessible online for free, but if the other references are an indication, these volumes cover persons several generations descendant, if the same Davis family at all.

Davis-22545 and Davis-6393 appear to represent the same person because: Their years of birth and death are similar. Both profiles indicate that the wife is Suzy, although the profile for Davis-6393 lists his wife's name as Susannah in one place, and Suzy in another. Davis-22545 simply names her as Suzy.

Davis-40753 and Davis-37843 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate

Davis-40752 Unmerged match. Dates differ, and parents differ, but the wife is the same and son named Robert.

No meaningful sources on either profile.
