History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa: from the earliest historic times to 1907, Volume 2 JOSEPH W. DAVIS.
The earliest known ancestor of Joseph W. Davis was William Davis, an esquire of Buckingham, England, whose two sons, William II. and John, came to the American colonies about 1732 and settled in Providence, Rhode Island. William II, had two sons, Gaius and Barnabas, born in 1749 and 1751 respectively, who were left orphans in 1755. Gaius was reared in the family of [Jonathan*] Pike of North Providence, whose daughter, Hannah, born June 19, 1751, later became his wife. They had four sons, Jonathan, William II., Randall and Joseph. *Gaius Davis* served his state in the operations to compel the British evacuation of Newport, Rhode Island, in the campaigns of 1779 and 1780. From North Providence he removed to a farm in the Mashentuck district of Killingly, Windham county, Connecticut, which he had purchased November 3, 1784, and on which he died September 23, 1815. His wife died August 5, 1828, while making her home with her third son, who had succeeded to his father's farm.
