1787 - ????
Thomas Davis of Gargrave, legatee of George Metcalfe (q.v.) and almost certainly brother of George Metcalfe's widow Elizabeth Metcalfe (q.v.). To date no will or death-date has been found for him by LBS.
Son of William Davis and Margaret (Peggy) Routh, Tho. Davis was baptised at Stallingbusk, near Hawes, Yorkshire, 23/09/1787.
A condition of George Metcalfe's will (of 1820, proved 1822) was that Thomas Davis take the name Metcalfe, which he appears not to have done by the time of compensation.
Possibly the same Thomas Davis who was a witness at the marriage of George Metcalfe and Elizabeth Davis in Gargarve, Yorkshire, 01/07/1812.
