Gen. Jonathan Davis was the youngest of seven brothers, all farmers and all of whom excepting himself removed from Oxford, he remained upon the homestead. Like his father he was much in public business; justice of the peace, representative, selectman, and in other important offices; settled many estates and filled places of trust, having in charge large sums of money; was a county commissioner; major-general of militia. He was popular and well known in towns adjacent to Oxford, and on public occasions was honored as a prominent man of th region. He was the leading man in procuring the organization of the Oxford Bank in 1823, and for the first ten years its president. In early history of the Universalist society he was one of its supporters, but later in life was a leading man and an officer in the Congregational society. He was first in the list of trustees named in the act of incorporation of Nichols Academy, Dudley, 1819 and was authorized to call the first meeting of the corporation; was a liberal subscriber to its fund. In 1827 he removed from the homestead to a dwelling situated two miles nearer the centre of Oxford, where he resided until his death.
