Lothrop Davis

Please see https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FZD1-NXY This source links a source and his parentage to him.

The next source may explain why Lothrop has been illusive to researchers. If this source represents him, he would be age 17. It's possible he may have fought and died as a Revolutionary War fifer and soldier. If other records are to be found for him, war records seem to be a plausible starting point.
