I wrote this part before I remembered that while Phillip Meadows married
and had a daughter in Roxbury, Samuel Davis married Mary Meddowes in Lynn. I
still need to know how we know what Samuel Davis married Mary Meddowes.

Samuel Davis and Mary Meadows.

(source given below.)

Samuel Davis of Concord, Mass., a son of Dolor Davis, born about 1639 or
1640. Married
at Lynn, Mass., January 11, 1656-6, Mary Meadows, parentage unknown; had
seven
children. Lived in Corcord, and styled himself in deeds, as "husbandman" and
"yeoman".

On 20 November, 1680, Samuel Davis and Mary, his wife, of Groton, conveyed
to Justinian
Holden of Groton, 20 acres of land; consideration, fifteen pounds, "current
money." Probably

p.20
this was part of his father's purchase in Groton, in 1655. If Samuel Davis
ever lived in Groton,
it must have been for a very short time as the births of all his children
appear in the Concord
records. Freeman, March 21, 1689-90.

In 1696, he purchased two parcels of land in the east part of Concord as
follows:

April 12, of Thomas Wheeler, four acres for forty shillings; and Nov. 10 of
John Jones and others,
twenty acres for eight pounds. In all these instruments, he is styled Samuel
Davis, Sr., husbandman.

I suppose these were parts of his homestead in what is now the west part of
Bedford, Mass.
The property is still in the possession of his descendants - the present
house, which is now
one hundred and fifty years old, being erected on the site of Samuel Davis's
homestead.

On June 2, 1696, he petitoned Concord authorities for a bridlepath to his
house from Billerica Road.

In 1698 and 1699, Samuel Davis, Sr. chosen fence-viewer for the east part of
Concord. His wife,
Mary joined in the conveyances and both made their "marks"

His wife Mary died October 3, 1710 and on October 18, 1711, he m. (2) Ruth
Taylor.
