To all,
Tried to xerox the pages I have from Van's bible. The copy I have is very dark & difficult to read. I tried to lighten up the copy, but when I do, to writing fades out & is impossible to read. So I typed it into
word, just as it is in my copy.

-------------------------------------------
Davis is a Welsh surname, and the family is among the most numerous in England and Wales. This is due to the fact that there are so many variations of the name. The original name was Davis - which signifies well beloved - popular in Biblical days and a favorite among the Scottish Kings.

Though of ancient standing in Wales, David scarcely appears in England before the Conquest. Modified in various forms, it has produced many family names such as Davis, Davidson, Davies, Daves, Dawson, Dawes, Day, Dakin, etc. The Irish form is M'Daid; the French Davis.

The Davis Coat of Arms usually shown is the Arms of the Davises of Northamptonshire, England. Coats of Arms very similar to it are recorded for several other branches of the Davis family. This is the most widely used of all Davis coats of Arms. It is described in Burke's General Armory, Burke's Landed Gentry, Burke's Peerage and Baronetage, and other reliable works on heraldry, in some cases accompanied by illustrations. Crozier, in his General Armory, records it for Dolor Davis who settled in MA, 1634, and for branches resident in Washington, DC, KY etc. It has been used for generations by their descendants and by many other American branches of the Davis family.

Arms: Gules, a Chevron engrailed between three boar's heads erased argent. Desc: A Chevron between three silver boar's heads on a red shield.

Crest: On a chapeau gules, turned up ermine, a boar statant. A boar standing upon a red hat with a turned up ermine brim.

Motto: Virtute duce comite fortuna. Under the guidance of valour, accompanied by good fortune.

The boar's head was once the chief dish at Christmas feasts in palace and castle. When England's sovereigns kept Christmas of yore in their noble halls at Guilford, Eltham, Westminster or Windsor in high estate, arrayed with crown and sceptre, clothed in ermine and surrounded by their wondering subjects - it was brought to their table with great ceremony. The introduction of the great dish was accompanied by music and singing often by the song below:

"Caput Apri refero
Reddens laudes Domino.
The bore's head in hand bring I
With garlans gay and rosemary
I pray you all sing merrily
Qui estic convivio.

"The bore's head, I understande
Is the chief servyce in this lande
Loke wherever it be fande
Servite cum cantico."

So is explained the significance in the Davis Coat of Arms of the three silver boar's heads.
