In 1795, Nancy married George Davis in Saratoga, New York. The History of Saratoga County, NY (1878) gives the following information:
"On the 28th of 1st month, 1795, George Davis was married to Nancy Mead, and we give the names of the witnesses, as showing many of the early settlers before 1800, and the principal membership of the meeting: Isaac Leggett, Jonathan Griffin, Gideon Mead [father], John Davis [brother], Joshua McOmber, John Dillingham, Thomas Bennett, Gabriel Leggett, William Barker, David Dillingham, Nathan Mosher, Charles Leggett, David Mosher, John Dillingham, Thomas Shepaherd, James Covil, James Cooper, Martha Mead [mother], Ruth Dillingham, Bridget Leggett, Fanny Mead [sister], Hannah Moser, Mary Covil."
The children of George and Nancy Davis were: Sarah (1796- ); Nicholas (1798-1873); Gideon (1800-1876); Mead (1802- ); Martha (1804-1840); Millicent (1806-1838); George (1808- ); Obadiah (1810-1895); James H (1813-1897); Humphrey (1816-1838).
George and Nancy Davis, must have done well as farmers. In the 1832 Town of Saratoga Tax List; Nancy Davis is listed as having 223 acres worth $2,007.
It is strongly believed that George and Nancy Davis are buried in this Quaker burial ground, the meeting house where they were married and participated.
Cemetery Description from Nathaniel Bartlett Sylvester in his 1878 History of Saratoga County: "The ancient Friends' burial-ground, not far from the meeting-house, contains in its long, close rows of graves the buried dust of many an early settler. There, in the solemn silence of calm, trusting faith, the dead have for years been laid to rest, and they sleep as peacefully under the buttercups and the daisies as those who slumber beneath the monumental marble of other more showy, but not more sacred grounds."
