About Walter Davis

From Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, from 1726 to 1871, by Joseph A. Waddell (1902) [114], pp. 261–62:

Walter Davis, Jr., son of William, born in 1791, was for many years one of the two commissioners of the revenue in Augusta county, and noted for his faithful and intelligent discharge of the duties of his office. His wife was Rebecca Van Lear. [Note: the suffix "Jr." was used for Walter to differentiate him from his Grandfather, Walter Davis].
