Allanburgh cemetery contains the grave of one of Wright Davis' children. I wonder if he was killed in warfare--the War of 1812 was still being fought at the time of his death, and at 21 he would certainly be of age to fight.
Undated picture of the wife of Thaddeus Davis Jr, giving her maiden name:
List of settlers who took an oath of loyalty to the British crown, including Hall Davis, Laval Davis (is this Loyal Davis?), and the husband of Lois Davis, Cornelius Vanderburgh.
A mention of Hall Davis investing in education in 1829:
A list of township officials in Thorold contains the names of William H. Lee, husband of Pheobe Davis in 1806, Thaddeus Davis Jr. in 1806 and 1811 and and Hall Davis in 1808 and 1817.
And finally, various military listings, particularly for the War of 1812. Captain Robert Hamilton's Company (1812) lists Loyal Davis and Cornelius Vanderburg.
Hall and "Lavel" Davis are in Captain Chrysler's Company in 1813:
Hall Davis is in this Regiment, also 1813:
Finally, Loyal and Hall Davis are included in this second listing of Captain Chrysler's Company, September 23, 1813.
Richard Davis is not mentioned anywhere in this history. We know he moved back to New York, but when? I'm wondering if the War of 1812 had something to do with his decision. Wright Davis is only mentioned once, and indirectly (on his son's tombstone).
