Primary Focus is on the
DavisClan of Uriah I Davis born in 1707, arrived in Annapolis, Maryland
in
October 1732 and his
generations afterwards.
Uriah Davis I came to America - by way of getting into trouble, of
course some
would say. "Davis Men our famous for being at the wrong place at the
right time."
The historical records show - England, Old Bailey - court
records on 23rd Feb 1732. Uriah was found guilty of stealing 2 cows.
The punishment was transportation to the Americas / Banishment as slave
convict.
Perverting Justice - 25th May 1732 - the person who accused Uriah for
stealing the cows, confessed that was not the case and charges were
dropped, but by then he was already on his way to America as a slave
convict.
Once word go to America he became a free man. His trade was small
schooner captain and made his money
shipping goods between the states. Later purchased land in North
Carolina - when it was opened up for settlements by USA government.
