Biography
Rebecca Davis was born at Boston, Massachusetts on August 3, 1658, daughter of William Davis and Huldah Symmes. [1]
She is mentioned in the will of her father William written on May 17, 1676. [2]
On June 11, 1708, the heirs of Captain William Davis, including Rebecca Lawrence, submitted a letter to the court regarding administration of their brother Major Benjamin Davis', apothecary of Boston, estate, contesting that the administrators have found many debts of their father in England and have therefore stated that there the heirs have been paid and there is no further money from their father's estate. [3]
