Here is a 2 generation report on what I have on David Faries, son of William & Agnes Cowan Faries. If you want more, let me know. If anyone can add anything to this, I would appreciate hearing from you. Julie Clifton Laughner Descendants of David Faries Generation No. 1 1. DAVID5 FARIES (WILLIAM4, JAMES3, DAVID2, DAVID1) was born Abt. 1778 in York Co., SC. He married ?. Notes for DAVID FARIES: Appears to have left his father's household by 1800, but his name does not appear int he York Co. census. He was aged about 27 years when his father made his will bequeathing David only his "smooth bored gun or what is commonly called a French musket." David Faries had a family of at least five children, but the name of his wife has not been recovered. Their three older children were probably born in York Co, SC. Their son Samuel was born in Tennessee during the journey to IN. Their son, Milton, was born in Washington County, IN. The last family record from the descendants of his brothers and sisters is that he "moved away from Walnut Ridge with two daughters, lost trace of since." David Faries had land entries in Lawrence Co., IN on 15 Dec 1817 and 14 May 1823. They were residing in Lawrence Co., IN (probably on Walnut Ridge) in 1820 with two sons aged 10-16 years, two daughters aged 10-16 years, and one son under 10 years. He was taxed in Lawrence Co., IN in 1822. He sold land there in 1835. They were residing in Putnam Co., IN in 1830 with two daughters aged 20-30 years, one son 15-20 years and one son 10-15 years. His daughter, Margaret, was married in 1832 to the son of a neighbor, Robert Logan. His marriage was conducted by David's cousin, the Rev. James Faris, pastor of the Bethesda Reformed Presbyterian Church of Bloomington, Monroe Co., IN. this is the last record of association with the Faris famillies of Walnut Ridge and Bloomington. It would seem evident that David and his family went with the new school at the time of the division of 1833. He sold land in Putnam County on 12 July 1834 and 30 Dec. 1834. Their subsequent whereabouts have not been discovered. There is no family record of the names of the children of David Faries. The attribution of John, Margaret, Samuel and Milton was made by Samuel's grandson, Forrest Faris, who studied all the Faries families of the area for many years. Only these individual fit the known facts of David's family in place of birth, place of parents' birth, associationwith the Reformed Presbyterian Church, residence in the places with David Faries, and not identified as members of other Faris families (as found in the information about the four children). (Taken from p. 33 of The Faris Family in Washington County, Indiana" by David Faris, Gateway Press, Baltimore, 1984) Children of DAVID FARIES and ? are: i. JOHN6 FARIES, b. Abt. 1806; m.

I, Laura, married David Presley Junkins, who is dead. George B., my brother, married Emma Adams, deceased, then Carrie Dodds, deceased, then Birdie Greggs, at Jones, Okla. My grandpa was Jacob Holsapple, my grandmother was Sarah Faris Holsapple. My grandma's sister, Mattie, married a Hubbard. My father and I, Laura, met a Samuel Faris at Holtzman's Woolen Mills when I, John Holsapple's daughter, was a small child, but I remember him. He as a small man with eyes like grandma - bluish gray. Grandma was short like Uncle Sam. My father called him Uncle Sam Faris (Our Co. joins Brown). Jacob and Sarah Faris have one daughter living at Elletsville, she is over 90 years old. She said Uncle Sam Faris brought his children to Grandpa and Grandma's to care for them for awhile."
