Jonathan Davis (d. 1780) was a resident of Tyrrell County. While no one indicated that Jonathan Davis himself was a member of the Gourd Patch Conspiracy, several former members of the plot wrote in their depositions that they were recruited for the movement while at a wheat reaping on Davis' property. He later served as security on a bond for Josiah Harrison, who had to appear before the Court of Oyer & Terminer at Edenton to testify about his involvement in the Gourd Patch Conspiracy.
