Synopsis
Excerpt from Dolor Davis: A Sketch of His Life With a Record of His Earlier Descendants I Have taken great pleasure in collecting the scanty and scattered fragments of the history of Dolor Davis, because I owe to him my life and my name. While his career presents no heroic features, his sturdy energy and patient industry amidst the hardships of subduing a wilderness are a type of those enduring qualities which have distinguished his descendants to this day. In pursuing my object I have carefully examined all the avenues of information within my reach, and append a list of those which proved of service to me. In doing this I wish to express my especial indebtedness to the "Willard Memoir" by Joseph Willard, and the sketch of the life and family of Dolor Davis published in the "Barnstable Patriot" May 26th and June 2d and 9th, 1863, by Amos Otis, an antiquarian who had the true love for his work. My thanks are due to the many gentlemen who have kindly aided me in my search. The results, indeed, are meagre, but I hope they may stimulate the zeal of other grateful descendants of this worthy man, and that their labors may bring to light new materials and help to clothe this skeleton of dates with flesh and blood, and give us the lineaments of the living man.
