The family settlement called Davistown had its roots in a four-acre parcel of land purchased in 1813 by Solomon Davis.

Between 1820 and 1840 the Davis family purchased much of the land that became Davistown from the heirs of Jacob and Jane Boyer.

See the Camden County Historical Society document that lists Solomon Wesley Cemetery, Davistown.

[11][12] In 2012 Solomon Wesley was sold by the United Methodist Church to Pastor Toki L. Taylor who is a member of the clergy in the Fruit of the Spirit Ministries.

A three-day public fundraising event was held August 31 to September 2, 2012 on the church grounds.
