Known Descendants of
Samuel and Mary Stone
DAVIS
Compiled by their 3g-grandson, Donald D.
Young
Samuel and Mary, along with their first three
children, came by wagon from Virginia to Licking County (then part of
Fairfield County), Ohio in 1806 and for a year lived about two miles
north of Newark near Horners Mills (near the present Newark
waterworks). On 15 Jun 1807 Samuel purchased land in Licking Township
from Benjamin and Phebe Wilson of Harrison Co., VA. Later that year
he moved to a farm one mile west of Jacksontown on the National Pike
(now US40) purchased from Stephen and Sarah Robinson. Twin daughters
were born after the last move. The present Dawes Arboretum, one and
one half miles north of Jacksontown, includes all of the first parcel
mentioned. A few small log structures in the arboretum have been
constructed with logs from what may have been Samuel's two-story log
home. Nothing is known of Samuel's ancestors or siblings. Entries in
both the 1782 and 1784 U.S. Census of Hampshire County, Virginia
place Mary's father, James Stone, and a Samuel Davis (this Samuel's
father?) in close proximity. It is a matter of speculation as to
whether or not one or more of the persons from whom Samuel purchased
land in Licking County may have been related to him in some way.
Presented on the following pages are all of
the descendants of Samuel DAVIS known to me along with the available
birth, marriage and death dates and places. This information is as
complete as possible and is thought but not guaranteed to be acurate.
It has been assembled from a number of different sources, some
primary, some published and some private. I am willing and anxious to
share with other descendants, and I am especially anxious to make
additions and corrections wherever appropriate. If you wish to copy
or quote parts of this information, please give proper credit.. Feel
free to contact me at any time.--Donald Young
