Biography

Norman was born in New York, USA in 1954

Our American roots include many ancestors with Military records in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, WW1 and WW2.

A number of my direct ancestors were part of the "Great Puritan Migration" from 1600-1680 and were the first pioneer settlers to establish the towns of

• Hartford, Connecticut
• Rye, New York
• Warwick, Rhode Island
• Gardiner's Island, New York
• Italy Hollow, NY
• Reed's Corners, Ontario County, NY
• Brookhaven, Coram, Southaven, Mt. Sinai, Long Island [33] Elnathan Davis Profile lists many of his descendants and is a work in progress
• Saybrook, Connecticut
• Frontier towns after leaving New York in the early 1800's in Ohio, Iowa,

Many of my New York ancestors are interred in Canandaigua, NY at various cemeteries. There are associated branches of the family from Connecticut and Massachusetts there as well. [34]

My dad Norman C. Davis Jr. authored "Westchester Patriarchs" [35]

Following

Descendant of PGM migrant Fulke Davy.

Brick Walls

Maffett-21 Frances Emma Maffett, 1832; I suspect that she is the daughter of Norman Moffitt, but have found nothing to prove that. He was possibly married to Phebe ____, and research into Phebe Moffitt in the geographical area of Frances Emma Maffett is very suggestive of that connection. But, no proof to date. Update Jan 16, 2020 Recently added profile Phebe Moffitt Arnold-14764, b. 1795, d. 1888 in Stephentown, New York. She married Claudius Moffitt. She was a sister to Joseph Hopkins Arnold; he was father to Mandana Arnold, who was the mother of Lucretia Arnold Morgan Davis in Cayuga, New York. More research needed.

Werner-1562 Catherina Werner, 1837: records found to date indicate her parents Jacob Werner and possibly Catherina Engel, but no proof. The trail ends with them, so far.

Mitchel-419 Peter Mitchel, 1782: The name is so common in Scotland. There are more than one, married to Margaret. The notes for his profile are based on his daughter's records, and that's the end of the trail for Peter, so far.

Comments

A special note here to my relatives or others who may be following: For many years, family lore has held that one of my ancestors Adolphus Flint Flint-1961 was the son of an unknown Flint, who married to an Onondaga - or possible Canandaigua - tribal woman. My father spent a good deal of time researching this and found nothing to support the story, yet it persisted because nothing was found to refute it, either. Recent research, and the discovery of records not previously available in Ontario County, New York, have shown that the story is not true. The full story is at his profile page.

The Davis/Davies question: There are a number of Davis/Davies family interments in the Reed Corners Cemetery who do not appear to be related; they are descended of William P. Davies b.1789 in Wales, d. 11 May 1853 in Pennsylvania. It is his son Ezekial S. Davis (1818-1888) who establishes the Ontario County NY line of this family. I can find no familial connection to date but the coincidence of two Davis/Davies lines in such a remote and undeveloped part of New York is intriguing. The fact that William P. Davies is known to have come from Wales sometime after 1823, and the fact that our "New World" ancestor Fulke Davis/Davy also came from Wales, but around 1640, is especially intriguing, but to date the Welsh records have not provided a clue as to whether they are of the same family, or completely unrelated. There are living today a number of Davis/Davies/David families in and around Glamorgan, Wales - the place they may have both been born. An interesting place to start is here with a Glamorgan Davies family: [38], and also, FreeBDM, a volunteer UK records transcription site [39]

Ancestors Report

WikiTree Members: The Ancestors Report is generated each time you, or anyone, accesses your Profile page. It pulls your ancestral data from everything you have entered into your Family WikiTree, and displays the results as a percent of each generation that you have identified so far. It will only display the first 8 generations but that is still a very useful tool for showing where you need to concentrate your research. Feel free to copy and paste the entire series of code lines that follow, and place it at the bottom of your profile.
