(28-8) Hon Daniel Davis, son of Joseph, born in Barnstable
28th Sept. 1713, was Judge of Probate, and held other offices of
trust and responsibility. He resided in the house afterwards
occupied by his son Dr. John Davis and now owned by Daniel Cobb,
a descendant in the female line. He was an active man, and an
ardent patriot during the Revolution. He often represented the
town in the General Court, was on committees, and performed
much labor. As I have hjid occasion to remark in a former article,
at the commencemeBt of the Revolutionary struggle, he was
inclined to take sides with the radical portion of the whigs ; but
was afterwards more conservative in his views. Barnstable had
not a more devoted patriot than Daniel Davis. He married
Mehitable, ' daughter of Thomas Lothrop. The land on which
Daniel Davis built his house, was a part of the original allotment
to Joseph Lothrop, the father of Thomas. He married for his
