"Pebbleton", the 18th century home of Nicholas Davies

The history of our family in America begins about 1725 when young Nicholas Davies settled in colonial Virginia. He started in Jamestown or Williamsburg, but soon began moving west ... and into history!

Explore this Web site to learn more about his fascinating life and the lives of his hundreds of descendants, many of whom also helped to shape the history of America.

The family tree is based upon the genealogy database compiled by Dr. James David Boyle. The number of individuals in the tree is now over 5000! Congratulations Dave!

We have a few biographies that have been provided by several different family members.

We are also collecting existing historical material in the family archives.

History still happens. Learn what today's family members are doing, including highlights and photos from the 1998 and 2001 Davies Family Reunions, in the family events pages.
