Reverend William Davis (1663-1745) was a British Baptist and Seventh-day Baptist minister in Colonial Pennsylvania and New Jersey in the late seventeenth century and the eighteenth century. Printed galley proofs of an unpublished, 474-page book, The Davis Family, Being a Biographical and Genealogical History of the Descendants of Rev. William Davis (1663-1745), chart the descendants of Rev. William Davis from 1663 to 1920, and include family members living in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Virginia, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado, and California. This manuscript was written circa 1940 by Thomas Davis, but was expanded and edited by Willis Guy Tetrick of Clarksburg, West Virginia, for publication.
