Wells Davis was the fifth child and second son of Francis and Elizabeth (Ferrin) Davis, and came with his father's family from Amesbury, Mass., to Township No. 1, now Warner, N. H., in May, 1766, when thirteen years old, and remained in Warner until the time of the Revolutionary War when he enlisted and entered the service and was at the battle of Bunker Hill [Captain D. Flood Co., Stark's Regiment] and other fields of conflict. He received injuries in the service from which he never fully recovered and for many years of his life was allowed a pension by the government. After the war he settled on a farm at North Village, where he followed farming and lived a noble and upright life, raising a large family of children who grew to be honorable men and women in society.
