1. Isaac Davis was born on 20 Aug 1710 in New Kent Co, VA. He died on 2 Sep 1805 in Albemarle Co, VA.
Isaac Davis in 1769 bought from the Webb family, of New Kent County, eight hundred acres on
the north fork of the Rivanna, near Webb's Mountain. His deed for this land was witnessed by
the great orator, Patrick Henry, and was probably drawn by him. He was one of the early
magistrates of the county. Dr. George Gilmer in a letter to Mr. [later Pres. ] Jefferson at the
outbreak of the Revolution, refers to [Isaac Davis]; mentioning his leading the Albemarle
company to Williamsburg, he speaks of old Isaac Davis marching at the head of the troop, as an indication of the determined and zealous spirit that animated the people.
Many years were allotted the old patriot after the close of the war, his death not occurring until
1805. His children were William, Elizabeth, the wife of Richard Durrett, Isaac, who married
Harriet, daughter of Garland Garth, and Robert.
