DAVIS Family

(or DAVID[T]S[E] ...)

The earliest shown DAVIS ancestor was King of the Britons Vortigern (from K Arthur tales) who married Severn, the daughter of W RExx Magnus Maximus ... though Welsh lines including this one continue much further back ... Gauliter DAVIS 1347-1440 93yo b/d Welsh Marches is an ancestor on this line via another route ...
