Born by about 1599 based on date of marriage. House carpenter from East Farleigh, Kent, who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1634. First settled in Cambridge MA; moved to Duxbury MA by 1638, Scituate by 1641, Barnstable by 1643, Concord in 1655, & back to Barnstable in 1666. Died between 13 September 1672 (date of will) and 19 June 1673 (date of inventory). (Some secondary sources claim that the death took place at Barnstable on 22 June 1673, but this death is not found recorded at Barnstable or Concord, and this claimed date is three days after the Barnstable inventory.)
MARRIAGES: (1) East Fairleigh, Kent, 29 March 1624 She was baptized Horsmonden, Kent, 7 November 1602, daughter of Richard Willard. She was living on 17 July 1658, when she acknowledged a deed, but was probably dead by 16 February 1667[/8?], when she did not participate in a second acknowledgement of the same deed.
(2) On an unknown date Joanna (Hull) Bursley, daughter of Rev. JOSEPH HULL {1635, Weymouth} and widow of JOHN BURSLEY {1623, Weymouth}.

1. His birth place is completely unknown. He was proven to be in Farleigh, Kent by 1614 when he received a bequest of a house and land from James Clarke in Clarke's will; Dolor was a servant of Clarke. This is Dolor's first documented appearance found to-date.
2. That also makes his birth year 1593 or earlier as he would have had to be 21 to inherit land. 1599 was an estimate based on his 1524 marriage to Willard minus the typical 25 years, but this 1514 will changes that. The will appears in NEHGR 74, viewable free here https://archive.org/details/newenglandhisto59unkngoog/page/n84/mode/2up
So, I would recommend clearing out his birth location (could even have been Wales, who knows) and setting his birth year earlier.
Also he did not actually have a daughter Elizabeth, the Elizabeth Davis on the 1635 "Elizabeth" was daughter of the widow Margaret Davis who married Charles Grice/Grist in Boston by 1648. Anderson in "Great Migration" used the Hotten passenger list twice by mistake, once as wife of Dolor Davis (Margery) and once as widow Margaret Davis, 5 pages after the entry for Dolor. I don't see an "Elizabeth" on this memorial, which is great but I wanted to mention this too to make sure she doesn't sneak back in as a lot of people over the years used Hotten to assert a mysterious Elizabeth of whom there is (understandably) no record in New England associated with Dolor Davis.
