About Mary (unknown) Parke Davis
Parents unknown. Not the daughter of Isaac Christian Davis
Mary's surname is still unknown, and has ALWAYS been unknown. She was NOT born a Davis. After the death of her first husband John Parke, Jr. at the Battle of Grant's Hill in the French & Indian War, she went south to the Jersey Settlement in Rowan Co., NC with several of her adult children. There she re-met an old friend and neighbor from Hopewell NJ days - John Davis and married him about 1759-1760. So by the time of the court giving their son John Park III his father's land, in 1762, having died intestate, as John III was the only child to remain in Hampshire Co., WV, her name was Mary Davis - BECAUSE she was married to John DAVIS. As a woman back then no one EVER went back to using their maiden name after their husband died. If she had not remarried to John Davis she would have been referred to as Mary Parke.
