William Davis Nova Scotia

William Davis Nova Scotia

I believe that I have found my William Davis b 1795 NS d Windsor, Hants co., 1876, father both are buried in the Old Parish Burying ground, Windsor, Nova Scotia.
His father is possibly this William Davis b 1745 d Apr 2, 1826 81 yrs old.

Is anyone handy to old death records that would give parents etc?? I have a friend that took pictures of stones in Old Parish Burying Ground and the Maplewood Cemetery across the street in Windsor.
I have an idea that William Davis Senior could be a Loyalist as the date for his son is 1795.

I am also trying to find some living relatives of these William Davis as my Grandmother was Martha Louis Davis b 1870 to William Stewart Davis and Elizabeth M. Willis and her father was son of William Davis, Jr.

1871 census Louisa is my grandmother Martha Louise Davis and in the next one she is Lilian.
She was something else She eloped to Massachusetts with the fellow she met at her sisters who married a Redden he and some buddies jumped ship in Windsor and hid out in various homes and my grandfather was in the Redden home. He went by the name of Fred Richards back then but when they married in Massachusetts he went by his real name Frederick Lawrence Moss.
We called my grandmother Meme and my grandfather Pa. The lived and raised their kids in Canton, Ma. where most of us Moss clan lived til we all got older and moved on to NH, Me, NM, Ca., Mt, ND and who knows where else. LOL kids will be kids!!
The Davis I am looking for is my grandmother's grandparents I have all of her aunts and uncles but not their parents. William Davis marrying a Sarah are way too many and not one of them is mine!!!
That is why I am going to NS this summer even if I have to walk from NH!!
