Christian's surname has been in doubt. In various secondary sources (IGI,LDS Ancestral files, web-based genealogical records, publications) it hasbeen reported as Coffin, Coffer, Bellsire or unknown. Douglas Richardsonprovides the following basis for Bellsire, as reported in Sanborn'sSecond Supplement to Torrey's work: " ...I got the information from theBishop's Transcripts for Chipping Sodbury, co. Gloucester. This appearsto be the couple who immigrated to New England, as Thomas Davis himselforiginated from nearby Acton Turville, co. Gloucester. The name Bellsire(an alternative form of Belcher) is a common name in the area. I orderedseveral Bellsire wills but found nothing to connect them to Christian(Bellsire) Davis."
