JOHN DAVENPORT I597-1670 (377) THE IEV/ iPUBUCll- T1LBEK ycJNftAnows Mrs. George Davie, famous as an aged person, wasborn on or about 3 June, 1635, probably , the daugh-ter of John Mirick, cooper, who became an Inhabitant ofCharlestown In 1641/2. When still a girl she was married;she took a second husband a few years later, and It is prob-able that she had several children, whose names may befound by some diligent student. A third husband wasGeorge Davie, a sea captain and pioneer in the beautifulcountry at the mouth of the Sheepscot River in Maine,where he obtained a large tract of land In 1663. The vil-lage of Wiscasset now occupies part of the site: and heowned other lands In 1668, lying perhaps on WcstportIsland, where Marie Antoinette was once offered a refuge,or at Edgecomb.
