WILLIAM DAVIS 
Of Alabama

    William Davis applied for revolutionary pension while residing in Jackson
County, Alabama. He was born in Hanover County, Virginia, in 1753. During the
Revolution he resided in Albemarle County, Virginia, and enlisted from that
county in the company of Captain Nicholas Davis in 1776 under General LaFayette.
He served several tours, the third tour as a substitute for ______ Steele. He
was acquainted in Albermarle County with Colonel James Lewis who resided later
in Franklin County, Tennessee. A letter from Colonel Lewis stated that he and
William Davis were boys in the same neighborhood in Albemarle County, Virginia.
William Davis stated that he moved from Virginia to Kentucky and thence to Alabama.

    Note:- The history of Albemarle County, Virginia, gives the location of
Colonel James Leuis's residence as a boy. It was on the western part of the
present University of Virginia site.
