  3. ↑ Quote from "Portrait" source: "...he has been a resident of (Quincy) for the past forty years....", with 1892 being the point of reference. A subsequent passage indicates that he moved to Quincy on the noted start date.
  4. ↑ From the wording in "Portrait" it appears that learning the legal profession at the time could be done through apprenticeship, and Davis did his in the firm of Bowne & Benedict.
