John Davis (explorer)
John Davis ( – 29 December 1605) was one of the chief navigators of Queen Elizabeth I of England. He led several voyages to discover the Northwest Passage and served as pilot and captain on both Dutch and English voyages to the East Indies. He discovered the Falkland Islands in August 1592. Life and career Davis was born in the parish of Stoke Gabriel in Devon circa 1550, and spent his childhood in Sandridge Barton nearby. It has been suggested that he learned much of his seamanship as a child while playing boats along the river Dart, and went to sea at an early age.

John Davys (died 1689)
Sir John Davys (1646 – November 1689) was an Irish politician. Biography Davys was son of Sir Paul Davys by his second wife Anne, daughter of Sir William Parsons, 1st Baronet, and younger brother of Sir William Davys, Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Lincoln's Inn. In 1678 Davys was granted the office of Principal Secretary for Ireland in reversion, in the event of the demise of the current office holder Lord Lanesborough, who died in 1683. This office had been previously held by his father Sir Paul Davys. He was appointed to the Privy Council of Ireland in about 1682. During the Popish Plot, both John and his brother were accused of Catholic sympathies and summoned to London to account for their behaviour, but were cleared of any suspicion of disloyalty on the evidence of James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde, a lifelong friend of their father, and Michael Boyle, Archbishop of Armagh, who was William's father-in-law.
