He had a son named Charles Davis, Jr. who was born in Kent, England in 1740 and immigrated to the US sometime before 1775 when he married Ann Dent Davis in Charles County, Maryland, USA. I want to find the grave of his father so I can visit it when I tour Great Britain in 2021. I would also like to meet any distance cousins while I am there. You help will be very much appreciated.

You have Edward born c1666 and Charles bn c1740 - Edward would have been in his 70's when Charles was born.

Burials at that time did not often give ages. You would need to establish where in Kent Charles was born to begin looking for his fathers burial

  I can see a possible baptism for Edward in 1666, but nothing for Charles in 1740. Where did you find the information about Charles?
Pay, Kent
Codham/Coltham, Kent
Kent, Felton, Essex
