This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research paper is to provide a biographical summary for the author’s 8th great-grandmother, Sarah Ewer, and to reveal new information about her life which was recently discovered by the author. Sarah Ewer was a remarkable woman for several reasons: She persevered after her father died when she was only nine years old; Sarah survived four husbands, all of “historical note”, two of whom suddenly died by drowning (along with a brother who was lost at sea); and she was a wonderful mother who raised seven children to adulthood even while mourning the tragic, accidental death of her two-year-old son. Between 1645 CE and 1692 CE, Sarah Ewer married four times: her first and last husbands were “Separatists” in Plymouth Colony; Sarah’s second spouse, the author’s ancestral grandfather, was the first “Quaker” in Barnstable, Plymouth Colony; and her third husband was among the first “Baptists” in Newport, RI. Sarah Ewer exhibited a great deal of “theological flexibility” within her lifetime, seemingly drawn to colonial men who chose to separate from the Church of England and, as a result, she had to endure Plymouth Colony governmental persecution while trying to nurture and to protect her children. When the author began researching his ancestral grandmother’s life 25 years ago, there existed three major “unsolved mysteries”: First, marriage records had not been found to prove that Sarah Ewer actually married her second husband, Nicholas Davis, in Barnstable, Plymouth Colony in 1651 CE. Second, information had not been discovered regarding Sarah’s whereabouts after the death of her third spouse, Dr. John Clarke, who died in 1676 CE Newport, RI. Third, genealogists, old and new, had been unable to confirm whether the Nicholas Davis who is listed as an “Inhabitant” of RI in 1638 was, in fact, Sarah Ewer’s future husband. This article presents evidence in an attempt to solve all three of these issues.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this research paper is to provide a comprehensive biography about the author’s 8th great-grandfather, Nicholas Davis, which includes “new research discoveries” about his life in America, and about his wife, Sarah (Ewer) Blossom Davis. Quaker Nicholas Davis, sometimes of Barnstable, Massachusetts and sometimes of Newport, Rhode Island is an interesting and notable American historical figure for several reasons: As the first Barnstable, Plymouth Colony resident to adopt the Quaker faith in 1659 CE, Nicholas “survived” severe persecutions legislated by both Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony governments. He was imprisoned twice with other Quakers who were later hanged to death in Boston because of their faith. Despite these hardships, and the tragic, sudden death of his 2-year-old-son, Nicholas was able to “thrive” in New England. According to Quakerism’s founder, George Fox, Davis had a “great family” comprised of his wife, Sarah, and six children. Nicholas Davis served as a “role model” for his neighbors, showing them how to treat the local “Wampanoag” Native Americans with utmost respect. In 1660 CE, the Wampanoag “Chief” John Yanno “gifted” Nicholas a valuable parcel of land that later became “Hyannis”, Massachusetts; and From 1643 CE until his death in 1672 CE, Nicholas was an international “merchant mariner” who traded goods with people, some of differing nationalities, throughout America and England. In an era filled with unscrupulous businessmen, Nicholas Davis maintained his good reputation by “dealing honestly” with all persons, and for donating some of his time and money “for the public interest”.
