According to https://www.davistownmuseum.org/bioDavis.htm The ornate levels and measuring tools of L. L. Davis and the Davis Level & Tool Company of Springfield, MA, are among the most sought after examples of the florescence of American toolmakers in the second half of the 19th century. There is no direct connection between the Davis family of the Davistown Plantation and Leonard Davis.
The following information is quoted from the DATM (1999, pg. 214).
The Leonard L. Davis Co., started in 1867, “…became the Davis Level & Tool Co. in 1875. Leonard L. Davis was born 21 Feb. 1838 and died 13 Aug. 1907. He had 17 March 1868 and 17 Sept. 1867 patents for inclinometer levels made by this company (but marked with his name only) and the successor. He also had a 31 Aug. 1875 metal plane patent, and a 21 Nov. 1871 level patent; the planes were made, but it is not certain if the level was. (NOTE: Different Davis levels are marked with 17 March 1867 and 17 March 1868 patent dates; documentary sources indicate that only the 1868 date is valid.)”
