Notes
General:
Timothy was son of Aaron Davis & Hannah Pond.
Rev. Davis was the minister at Wellfleet Congregational Church from 1808 to April 1830. He was later minister at Falmouth's 2nd Congregational Church from 22 Apr 1835 to 5 Jun 1836.
Pratt's History, p 139:
" Mr. Timothy Davis was heard as a candidate [in 1808], to whom the church and society gave an unanimous call to settle with them as a minister of the gospel, and voted to give him $500 as a settlement and $600 yearly as his salary. To this call Mr. Davis gave the following answer:\emdash
' I now inform the church and town of Wellfleet that I have received from your committee an invitation to settle with you in the ministry of the gospel, together with your proposals making provision for my settlement and support. Conscious of the arduous and important duties which are incumbent on a minister of the gospel of Christ, and, I trust, depending' on divine assistance and direction, I give my answer to your invitation in the affirmative, humbly praying that God would make me an instrument of promoting your edification in Christian faith and obedience, I ask your prayers that he would be pleased to overrule my settlement with you (if no unexpected event intervene to prevent it,) for his glory and our mutual good.
' TIMOTHY DAVIS.'
' Wellfleet, October 24, 1808.'
A committee was now chosen to make provision for the ordination, to provide a house for the entertainment of the council, and to write to the several churches for as many ministers and delegates as might necessarily be called. Capt. Joseph Holbrook, Thomas Higgins, 3d, and Samuel Rider were the committee.
Mr. Davis was a native of Wrentham, graduated at Harvard in 1804, and was ordained November 16, 1808. The churches represented by their ministers and delegates, were, Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Truro, Provincetown and Wrentham. Rev. Mr. Simpkins made the introductory prayer;
Rev. Mr. Fiske delivered the sermon; Rev. Mr. Damon made the consecrating prayer ; Rev. Mr. Burr gave the charge; Rev. Mr. Shaw the fellowship of the churches, and Rev. Mr. Waterman made the concluding prayer."
Pratt's History, p 141:
"In 1817 the Rev. Mr. Davis addressed the following to his parish:\emdash
'To the Selectmen of the Town of Wellfleet:
'Gentlemen:\emdash Please to inform my parishioners, that, desirous to promote both their temporal and eternal welfare, I am willing, for the present, to make an abatement in my salary of fifty dollars a year. I wish to be distinctly understood, that I do not relinquish my right to any part of my salary. It is my intention, however, to make the abatement, above mentioned, as long as I live, or as long as I am their minister, provided that I and my family can live comfortably without it. But if, at any future time, my necessities require it, I shall consider myself entitled to my whole salary.
'TIMOTHY DAVIS.'
'Wellfleet, January 1st, 1818.'"
Pratt's History, p 142-143:
"March 18, 1830, the Rev. Mr. Davis informed the church of his desire and intention of leaving them, offering a variety of considerations which had convinced him that it was his duty to seek a dissolution of the connection, and requested that a mutual council might be called for this purpose\emdash to which request assent was given. The council met at his house, April 1st, and, after due consideration, dissolved the pastoral connection between them, and gave him the usual recommendation as a good and faithful minister of the gospel.
Mr. Davis labored here in the ministry twenty-two years, during which one hundred and sixty were added to the church. He administered baptism to three hundred and forty-six persons, and solemnized two hundred and fifty marriages. He was much respected and beloved by his people, and it was deeply regretted that circumstances, which in no degree affected his ministerial or Christian character, should render the separation necessary. He is still living [1844] and laboring in the work of the ministry in the state of Maine."
Unitarian History:
"From 1821-22 Bernard Whitman studied under a Calvinist preacher, Timothy Davis, at Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Dissatisfied, he moved to Beverly to work with Rev. Abiel Abbot, a liberal minister whose congregation included both Unitarians and Trinitarians. Abbot taught him to simplify and organize his writing. In 1824 Whitman was given license to preach, and afterward stayed in several towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire for short periods during which he learned to preach without notes. " 23 24 25 26
