(6) BETHIA ASH, Oct. 19, 1702[A]; both liv. 1706. [ref 36:131] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - John Davis. Of the date and place of his birth we have no knowledge, but, as he was newly married in 1684, a guess of 1660 for the year may be made with fair probability. His wife was Elizabeth Bowden who was born in Boston in 1661, and came to Amesbury with her mother, the widow Martha (Blaisdell) (Bowden) Sealy or Cilley, who was returning to her girlhood home in her second widowhood. Elizabeth Davis died about 1700. In Amesbury on October 19, 1702, Davis married, secondly, the record calling him John Davis, Jr., Bethia Ash, daughter of John Ash of Amesbury. On June 28, 1708, John Davis, Jr., of Amesbury was married, thirdly, to Elizabeth Beetle of Newbury, the record appearing in the books of both towns. His death is not recorded, but it must have occurred before 1710 when John Davis, 2d, in local documents, had become John Davis, Fr. The widow Elizabeth Davis married Joseph Gould, a widower, in Amesbury on January 26, 1713/4. On this small lot of four acres John Davis must have built his house, and there he lived for the term of his life with his three successive wives and his children. Possibly he practiced a trade, but there is no evidence of it, nor are there any conveyances or grants of other Amesbury lands to him. Were it not for the gifts of his first mother-in-law, he, a shadowy figure at best, would be almost without identity. It is probable, unless he was a cripple or an invalid, that he came to Amesbury with the widow Sealey after his first marriage, for his name does not appear in the list of the Amesbury Train Band, of which all of the town's young men must have been members, in 1680. John married third, Elizabeth Beedle. Before the marriage, he deeded to her "in Consideration of the Same good will and Effection which I have and do baer unto the Said Elizabeth" the property given him by his first mother-in-law. This document of 1708 is the last record of John Davis. He had died by 1710, when John, son of Francis Davis, was John Davis, Jr. His widow, Elizabeth Davis, married on January 26, 1713/4, Joseph Gould of Amesbury.
