He was dead in 1689 when widow Martha married John Clough. John Clough (or Cluff) of Salisbury, house-carpenter b. abt. 1615-20, probably came in "Elizabeth," 1635; received land in first division and 1640; oath of fidelity 1650; commoner and taxed 1650-8; other early lists.

James Basford, of Chester, N. H. Gideon Currier m. 1st .......... Basford, of Chester, N. H. abt. 1775 (?). Chester History for Elizabeth Basford might throw some light on the subject. p. 725. Tradition in Warner Family (or Genealogy) states that the father of (92) Francis was Philip (or Francis) Davis b. 1626, came in "Confidence" and m. Gertrude Emerson abt. 1650; that their son (92) Francis was b. June 1655 and m. Oct. 20, 1680, Mary Wells of


LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, JULY, 1923	63

Portsmouth, who was b. in Newfoundland June 20, 1658, d. May 21, 1733. It is also stated that (92) Francis died June 6, 1737, which is manifestly wrong. As dates are given so minutely it seems that they must be based on some family record, but we have failed to find any record public or private to verify statements given above. There was a Philip Davis aged 12, who came over in the "Confidence" as servant to Wiliam Olsley, but he is supposed to have gone to Hartford and married there. If (97) John was John, Jr. after 1694, his father shouldn't have been Philip or Francis should he? The immigrants name Is left blank thus "Francis Davis (Francis .......) "In Wiltshire the name was known as early as the 13th century, although the origin of the family Is anciently traceable to Wales, from whose patron saint, David, the name is first derived, being in its present form a modification of Davy's meaning son of Davy, the common form used for David in early Wiltshire."
