    Just a short distance north on the left we come to the John R. Davis place, situated on the highest elevation on Chestnut Tree Hill road. From here one can see the Long Island Sound on the south and the Catskill Mountains on the west, the east being hidden by Toby's Rocks. this house, of colonial design, was built early in the 18th century, and is in a good state of preservation. John R. Davis was the son of John Davis, Jr, and grandson of Col. John Davis. he was born in 1814, in the last house going south on the Chestnut Tree Hill road. He married Janette Wheeler, daughter of Leman Wheeler of Rimmon and moved to this house where he spent all his long and useful life. He was a practical farmer and in connection with the farm work he raised many sheep and cattle, also was interested to quite an extent in fruit culture. He was very prominent in church and town affairs and filled many minor offices in the town. It will be remembered that on the 17th of October 1872, while picking apples, he fell from a ladder and sustained injuries that caused his death.
    Janette, his wife, died July 9th, 1880, aged 61 years. They had one daughter, Laura Davis, who married John Hawley, son of David Hawley, of Oxford, who took charge of the farm after the death of Mr. Davis, and continued in that capacity until his Dec. 19th, 1891.
    One daughter was born to them, Sarah Hawley, who married Clayton Sears, who resides on the Oxford road, near Seymour. The Davis farm, which consists of 75 acres of mostly meadow land, was later sold to Stephen Gazey, who still resides there.
    (NOTE: The John R. Davis Place is house #134 in the EARLY HOUSES OF OXFORD, CONNECTICUT book, published 1976, Historic House Committee of Oxford's Bicentennial Commission).
