According to Horace Davis,985 John Davis’s second wife Mary Hmlin died in November 1698 and he married his third wife, Hannah, in 1699, and yet 12 March 1699 is given as the birthdate for John’s ninth child, Nicholas (who I assign here to his third wife; Davis only lists the children 1-12 without specifying the mothers). This apparent discrepancy in dates is unexplained.
