First found in Flintshire, where the Davies family was seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

North America in the 1800s and 1900s saw the arrival of many Welsh people hoping to share in the wealth of land, work, and freedom that they felt North America held. Those who made the journey often attained those expectations, but only through an enormous amount of hard work, perseverance, and often a bout of good luck. These immigrants helped contriBute to the growth of industry, commerce, and culture of both Canada and the United States. Discovered in the immigration and passenger lists were a number of people bearing the name Davies: Arthur Davies and Dorothy Davies, who both settled in Virginia in 1623; as did Christopher and Eman UEL Davies in 1635; Daniell Davies, who came to Barbados in 1635.

Motto Translated: Without God without anything, God is enough.
