Biografie
Captain Thomas Davis (1716-1801), fish merchant, was born in Salem, Massachusetts, the son of a fisherman. He became a small merchant in Beverly across the North River in the decades before the outbreak of the American Revolution. During the period covered by these account books, he owned three schooners that he employed in the offshore fisheries and the coastal trade to Virginia. On shore, he owned a flakeyard where hired men dried fish from his vessels.
