Tues. Oct. 30, 1804, Wilmington Gazette

                                          Newbern, Oct. 9
DIED, on Friday last, of an apoplectic affection, MAJOR JOHN DAVES, in the 
56th year of his age. A few hours previous to his dissolution, he was in 
perfect health, conversing with his friends in the lower part of the town; 
feeling somewhat unwell, he went home, and in a very short time was violently 
struck with the disease, which terminated in his death. The deceased had long 
been in the service of his country, first as an officer during the 
Revolutionary War, and afterwards as Collector of the Customs for this port, 
in each of which, his zeal and integrity entitled him to the esteem of his 
fellow-citizen. About three years ago, he retired into private life. His 
remains were interred the day after, with every honor, which as a soldier and 
a good man he was entitled to.
