The North Farnham Parish Register of Old Rappahanock County shows that a son
William was born to a Nathaniel and Elizabeth Thrift 30 January 1675.
Then on 4 April 1696 Rebecca was born to Nathaniel and Elizabeth Thrift with
eight subsequent children, including a William born 20 September 1699, and
the last being born in 1721. Therefore it seems unlikely that these were
the same Nathaniel and Elizabeth Thrift.

Apparently the earliest Nathaniel died and Elizabeth married again, to William Davis, 23 Apr 1677. No evidence of the William b. in 1675 but perhaps Elizabeth had another son - Nathaniel who was some older.
There is a deed dated 3 May 1684 from William Davis, to his son in law (which meant stepson in this time period) Nathaniel Thrift of a one yeare old heifer coulered Browne marked with a crop and upper keel and a hole upon the right eare and an upper keel and hole upon the left eare with her female increases. Nathaniel Thrift may have been of marriageble age (born say 1663)
William Davis & Elizabeth had four children: William, born 15 Mar 1678; Jane, born 20 Nov 1680; Robert, born 25 March 1682, and Richard, born 5 September 1687.
William Davis, will, proved 2 March 1697/8 to his executor Nathaniel Thrift, which is now lost but referred to in other documents, devised his property to his sons Robert and Richard, but we have no information of other dispositions he may have made to a surviving spouse or other children. A will Davis witnessed in 1687 gives his age as 48 so he was about 38 when he married Elizabeth Thrift. She was likely a second wife.


Another Thrift - relationship unknown...
