From Thomas Hatch of Barnstable & Some of His Descendants, page 224:

JOHN2 DAVIS, born in County Kent, England, died in Barnstable, Massachusetts, in 1703. Of the first settlers, he is said to have been one of the last three survivors. His home lot was the first on the west side of Baker's Lane, now called Hyannis Road. It contained eight acres and the deed bears date, October 15, 1649.
In 1658 he sold six acres of his home lot to Samuel Norman, described as "bounded easterly by Hyannis Road." In 1665 Samuel Norman reconveyed to him this property with dwelling house thereon, subsequently called Norman's Hill. He owned thirteen acres on the east of Hyannis Road and an additional five acres south, lying on both sides of Hyannis Road. Among his other parcels of land were one-half an acre on the north side of the County Road, opposite his house, improved as an orchard and garden, and two acres within the present dyke, bounded westerly by Rendezvous Creek.
His will was dated May 10, 1701, and was proved April 9, 1703. He bequeaths to his eldest son John, "all that parcel of upland and swamp about fourteen acres" that "he now possess and dwells on." He gives to his daughter Mercy "for her tender care and labor past done for me and her mother" œœ20 in money and œœ5 a year so long as she continues to attend me and her mother or the longest liver "with diet, washing, and lodging with her brother Benjamin, one cow and heifer, two sheep, two swine and at her mothers decease one half of the household stuff and bedding forever, and the southward end of the house so long as she shall live a single life."
To his son Benjamin he gives the major part of his estate in consideration of the care he is to give them.
He names the following children in his will: Dolar, Timothy, Jabez, daughters Ruth Linnell, Hannah Jones's five children, son John's four eldest sons, granddaughter Mary Goodspeed, grandson Joseph Davis, and daughter Mary Hinckley.
