The records of more than 1,000 descendants of William Davis, Sr. and Mary Wicker, daughter of Joseph Wicker and Ruth (______), are contained in this book. William was born in Pasquotank Pct., NC, 4 April 1692 and migrated to Carteret Co., NC in about 1728.Although born to devout Quaker parents, he became a member of the Church of England and was for many years one of the five Lay Readers of the church in Carteret County. For this service he was paid the sum of 8 lbs. per annum. He removed to Carteret Co. in about 1728. In that year a deed of sale was recorded for land purchased by William Davis from John Rhodes. In the same year, Joseph Wicker was ordered to pay county funds to William Davis for construction of a Court House. In his will, which was not dated, but probated at the June, 1756 court, he mentions that his five youngest sons are to receive "horses & mares now at brother's". To which brother he refers has not yet been determined.
Her father, Joseph Wicker, was a Justice of the first Carteret County Court, and its clerk in 1725-26. He was a representative in the State Legislature in 1733. She received from his estate an island in Core Sound, since named "Davis Island". Source: "Kith and Kin of Eastern Carteret County", p.1, "Davis Family Background", Thelma P. Simpson and Rebecca W.
