Genealogical Guide To The Early Settlers Of America page 135 and right hand column at the very bottom it states and on page 136 left hand column very top:

Nicholas Davis, of Charlestown, came in the "Planter," early in 1635 (Planter arrived safe at Massachusetts Bay 22 March 1635), aged 40, with Sarah, 48, his wife, and Joseph, 13, his son, with four servants, whose name are then given, was in 1640 one of the promoters of the settlement of Woburn, where his wife Sarah, died May 24, 1643, and he married July 12, following, Elizabeth, widow of Joseph Isaacs; probably he removed to York, and was there in 1652. HIs will of April 27, 1667, probated March 12, 1670, refers not to any son, yet opens many remote relations, or perhaps those of his wife, as cousins Barnard, the wife of Matthew, of Boston; cousin William Locke, of Woburn, (spelled Owburne); daughter Astine's (or Austin's) children, Mary and Sarah, beside Mary, Elizabeth and Mehitable, Dodd

Following is information gleamed from the Planter passenger list :

Nicholas Davies Age 40 Date of Record: 22 March 1635 note: swore oath at Stepney, London Roll # 1
Sara Davies Age 48 same date of record Same note Roll # 2 Joseph Davies Age 13 same date of record Same note Roll # 3

This table details the roll of passengers of the Planter, which sailed from London in mid-April, 1635, bound for New England. The ship arrived safe at Massachusetts Bay.The rolls represent persons who were ready to embark at the date of record, which often preceded the actual sailing by several weeks. This information was transcribed in the 19th century by James Savage, and later by Michael Tepper from records found in the Public Rolls Office, London. this information was obtained at: http://www.winthropsociety.com/ships/planter.htm
