On 15 Jan 2024 Sue Davis wrote on Davis-8137: On today's Wikitree information, I see that the marriage of William Davis b1725 and Elizabeth Isabelle (Shelton) Davis was edited. I have believed that they were married in Virginia, but have no record of that. The following information makes me think that it was possibly in Rowan County, North Carolina. "Family Search" has Elizabeth Isabelle Shelton information and mentions that "she married Capt. William L. Davis in 1759, in Rowan, Bladen, North Carolina, British Colonial America." They reference "North Carolina Marriage Collection, 1741- 2004" The middle initial L bothers me as I have never found middle names in that family group. Another possible mention of William Davis is from a History of this Davis family. There was a list of 1759 landowners found in the walls of a courthouse that was being remodeled. This was in Salisbury and the list contains a William Davis. In September 1755 William Davis was fined for not attending military meeting in Frederick County, Virginia. So did he leave Virginia with the military after that date, marry in North Carolina and return to Virginia where I feel his first five children were born. My original information is from the Virginia angle, even though I know that after the death of William's father in 1772 he did migrate with his family to Rowan County, North Carolina. Does anyone have added information that might solve this marriage mystery. Thank you so much Sue Davis-82334
