SAMUEL WATTS DAVIES                p97
In the latter part of the eighteenth century (probably in
1799) the family emigrated to the United States.6 In 1800
Samuel W. Davies was a grocer at 62 Beekman Street, New
York City. The next year he was a merchant at 38 Gold
Street.7
About 1800 Davies married Mary Ann (Stall) Thomas, a
daughter of John Stall of Philadelphia. Her family was well
to do and socially prominent. Her father may have been a
merchant in the China trade. Her mother, formerly Frances
Hiley, is said to have entertained General Washington and
to have danced with the Marquis de Lafayette. Mary Ann had
married Robert Thomas of Philadelphia, who died in the yel-
low fever epidemic leaving her a widow with three children.8
Samuel Davies' first son, Edward Watts Davies, was born
January 16, 1802, in New        York. Three other children fol-
lowed, a second son, Samuel Hiley, and two daughters, Agnes
and Mary.9
Mrs. Davies' sister Eliza Stall had married General Wil-
liam Lytle in Philadelphia on February 28, 1798, and moved
first to Lexington, Kentucky, where her son John S. Lytle
was born in 1800, and soon afterward to Williamsburg, in
Clermont County, Ohio. The town had been founded by Wil-
liam Lytle and his brother John in 1797. She wrote such de-
lightful accounts of her life at "Harmony Hill" to her father
that he came to visit the West with another daughter, Fran-
ces. At Williamsburg on January 30, 1802, Frances married
terian minister, married Rhoda Willington, and later moved with his family to
Cincinnati when he was called to be fifth pastor of the First Presbyterian Church.
He had another brother, whose name is unknown; a sister Anne, who married
George Blagden, an Englishman, and lived in Washington, D.C.; and a sister
Mary, who remained single. All emigrated to the United States. See also Davies
