My first American ancestor was William Davis came from Wales. He was a Quaker. Many books have been written about the Davis family. My maiden name is Davis and my grandfather is a direct descendant of Willam Davis so that’s pretty cool lol

Nobody cares 💀

​@@sorenbednar Yet you still took the time out to read the comment and comment this, seems like you cared for it so much you felt offended and needed to vent your anger over a comment which has done no harm to you. Is it because of envy that you can't share your family lineage or envy of the OP's lineage?

Proud to have Quaker ancestors that came to Germantown in 1688-1689

English descent in America is much higher than 26 million people when you take into account the people who identify as simply “American” on the ancestry question on the census.
