This stone commemorates the birthplace of Isaac Davis, Captain of the Acton Minutemen who was killed April 19, 1775 at the battle of the North Bridge in Concord. The actual house in which he was born became part of the circa 1835 house in front of which the marker was placed. According to the stone, Susan Haskell (Davis) Wright, a grand-niece of Isaac Davis, was responsible for erecting the marker in 1900, although in contemporary newspaper reports, her husband George C. Wright is the one mentioned. Mr. Wright was a well-known benefactor in Acton; he provided funds for the Mount Hope Chapel and much of the cost of building the West Acton Universalist Church.
