Person:John Davis (558)

IS John's wife a HARRIS?

John and Moses seem to have obtained their land from Robert Ramsey, at the time this was Anson Co., NC. 4 Apr 1756.

Son Joseph appears to be the youngest child because 1) he is named last among the boys and 2) instructions were given to the executors not to sell any land until Joseph reaches 21 years of age.
