       Lt. Simon/2 Davis was born circa 1636, perhaps at Cambridge, where his father was resident in 1634.2,1 His father about this time removed to Concord, where Simon married, 12 Dec 1660, Mary/2 Blood of Concord, daughter of James/1 Blood and Ellen Harrison.3
     Simon Davis was one of three men in command of the Brookfield garrison, 1-4 Aug 1675, during its siege by Nipmuck Indians who had earlier ambushed the Hutchinson-Wheeler expedition at Quabaug. Capt. Thomas Wheeler's narrative says, "The night following the said blow, they did roar against us like so many wild bulls, sending in their shot amongst us till towards the moon rising, which was about three of the clock; at which time they attempted to fire our house by hay and other combustible matter which they brought to one corner of the house, and set it on fire. Whereupon some of our company were necessitated to expose themselves to very great danger to put it out. Simon Davis, one of the three appointed by my self as Captain, to supply my place by reason of my wounds, … he being of a lively spirit, encouraged the souldiers within the house to fire upon the Indians; and also those that adventured out to put out the fire, (which began to rage and kindle upon the house side) with these and the like words, that God is with us, and fights for us, and will deliver us out of the hands of these heathen."4
     Simon Davis was admitted a freeman of Concord 22 Mar 1689/90.5 Elected Representative in 1689 and 1690, and was a lieutenant in the training band.6 He died at Concord 14 Jun 1713.7 "A Lieutenant, representative, and otherwise distinguished."1
