Ah - my Davis line!!!<br />
<br />
I have William's wife as Brinley, but Brisley is one of the alternates. I have them leaving the Quaker church in 1691 and becoming Baptists, eventually becoming Sabbatarian (7th Day) Baptists. The family ended up in Rhode Island.<br />
<br />
My line is: William (Elizabeth Brinley) -> Rev. John (Elizabeth Maxson) -> John (Bethia Rogers) -> David Rogers (Lydia Cartright) -> David Rogers (Elizabeth/Betsy Straight) -> Mary/Polly (Howard F. Erskine). That puts them to NY…

Their daughter Julia was my g-grandmother.<br />

The first Davis ancestor I can find is Philip Davis. I have no idea if he was a Quaker. I am descended through his son Miles whose daughter Elizabeth married James Goheen.<br />
<br />
Philip David's was from Uchland Chester County. His will (Chester Co. Book 6 pg. 160, dated 4 Nov 1772, recorded 21 Feb 1776) named his wife, Elizabeth, and children David, Philip, Miles, Jerman and Sarah, wife of Myrick Davis.

MY NOTES<br />
<br />
John and Joanna were married 1715 - they were parents of 4 children<br />
<br />
1. Mary 2) DAVIS md Elder James DAVIS<br />
2. Hannah 2) DAVIS<br />
3. Benjamin 2) DAVIS<br />
4. Benjamin 2) DAVIS md Rachel BARTHOLOMEW<br />
<br />
NOTES: John was the emigrant along with his brothers, Llewellyn, James & Thomas; their eldest brother was William who came to America, settling in and around Chester county Pennsylvania. In 1725 guardians were appointed for Elizabeth, Issac, Sarah and Llewellyn, the children of Llewellyn *DAVID* late of Tredyffrin.<br />
<br />
In Feb 1724/1725, the guardianshop papers of Elizabeth DAVID age 14, mentioned "Unkle John DAVID" and stepfather James DAVID. With David JONES and others. John DAVID served as one of the guardians of all the children. (taken from Seldon Rogers Collection, Genealogical Society of PA.)<br />
<br />
John DAVID of "Valley" township (corresponding in early records to Tredyffrin) d 1748 leaving a will naming as overseers David JONES and Isaac DAVID (Martin, *Abstract of Wills and Administrations; Chester co. PA*, 1900, vol 1, page 279) These names definitely identify the decedent as the borhter of Llewellyn DAVID.<br />
