      James Davis married Ann [Hannah] Carter; Signature on the will of Giles Carter is James D. Davis; presumed to be the same individual. Notes from Don Wilson purport James F. instead of James D.; James D. could be his father, but this is speculation.

    5. [S3] Mary Frances Reynolds Eggleston.
      James D. Davis signed Witness to the Will of Giles Carter, the Father of Mr. Davis Wife, Ann [Hannah] Carter Davis. George Davis (1723-1816) is said to be the son [m.Mary Maxey (1729-1819)]; Other sons of Mary Carter and James Davis are said to be Robert, Charles, and James. No other info available.
