Biography
- William Davis was a son of Phillip Davis Sr. and Hannah (Vergitt) Davis of Essex, Goochland, Albemarle, and Amherst Counties, VA. William and his brother David were executors of their father's March 2, 1787 will (along with mother Hannah). It was proved Oct 1, 1787 and names Phillip's sons, John (deceased), William, Jabez, David, Benjamin, and Phillip Jr., and daughters Margaret, Winifred, and Jean. There is a transcription of the will attached to the Wikitree biography of Phillip in the comments section.
- William Davis is listed on the 1782 Amherst Co VA Tax List, indicating that he was over the age of 21. He was still living in Amherst in 1790. I have used these dates to make a bef/aft estimate of birth and death.
