This was sent to me by Doug Wesley about 3 years ago. I had also seen it in the library in Lafayette, I believe. Hope it helps someone else too. Our lineage is through Samuel & Abigail's daughter, Alice, who married Julius Hull. Would really appreciate any further information on the parents of Samuel...Moody & Rebecca (Morgan) Davis! Biographical History of Tippecanoe, White, Jasper, Newton, Warren & Pulaski Counties, Indiana, Vol I & II by Lewis Publishing Company Samuel Davis. This worthy pioneer of Tippecanoe County has been an important factor in its development and since 1855 has lived on the homestead where he dwells today, in Sheffield Township. Among the numerous public enterprises in which he has aided might be mentioned the Dayton and Lafayette grave road, which was built through the efforts of a few public-spirited citizens in 1861, at which time there were but seven other members of the company in the count, and Mr. Davis was one of the leading directors of the company. In 1890 the county purchased the road. Among the neighbors and associates of almost half a century he stand high, his reputation being above reproach. The founder of the Davis family in America was a native of England. Moody Davis, the father of our subject, was born in New England, January 7, 1785, and was a carpenter and millwright by trade. He married, in New Hampshire, Rebecca Morgan, whose birth had occurred March 26, 1788. They began housekeeping in a hewed log cabin that the husband built on a quarter section of land that he had purchased in Vermont. Having cleared forty acres of the heavy timber with which it was encumbered, he planted thirty acres of wheat, and, assisted by his industrious wife, he cut the crop with a hand sickle. Heavy frosts ruined the harvests, the times were hard, and he finally traded his land for a team of horses and a wagon and set out with his little family for western New York. He located within twenty miles of the spot where the famous Battle of Lundy's Land was fought, July 25, 1814, and the following morning Mr. Davis set out for the battleground. Arriving there, he found that ! the carnage had ceased, and that there was plenty of work for him to do, in assisting to care for the wounded and in burying the dead. In 1815 he started with his family to Ohio, going as far as Olean Point, on the Ohio River, in wagons and there he bought a partly built flatboat and finished it, and they floated down the stream to Cincinnati. Thence they proceeded to Butler County, Ohio, and at a point on the big Miami River, about three and one-half miles northeast of Hamilton, Mr. Davis built a gristmill, and operated it for twelve years. He also built a stillhouse and purchased a half section of land, and from these various sources was independently well-off, and had no one to thank for it but himself, for by his own sturdy might and fortitude he had carved out his fortune. At one time he made a trip down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans on a flatboat loaded with flour and whisky and , having sold the same, he proceeded to walk back, some fifteen hundr! ed miles. He reached home safely with the large sum of money on his p erson. In early days his mill was a very busy place, as farmers came as far as one hundred miles to have their grain ground. Mr. Davis was a Jacksonian Democrat and, riligiously, was a Baptist. His brothers, William and John and sisters Amanda and Priscilla, all settled in Ohio and reared their families in that state. Mrs. Rebecca Davis, a typical pioneer woman, brave and hardy, survived her husband, dying February 22, 1849. Samuel Davis, of this sketch, was next to the youngest of ten children, the dates of whose births are as follows Josiah, January 3, 1807; Julia A. April 24, 1808; Adeline, March 12, 1810; Moses, March 21, 1812; Almon, September 4, 1814; Mary, February 8, 1817; Azariah, October 23, 1819; Ursula, February 11, 1821; Samuel, September 15, 1823; and Amanda, September 8, 1834. From his early years until after his marriage, Samuel Davis lived on the old homestead in Butler County, Ohio and gained but a limited education in the subscription schools of that period. December 14, 1847, he married Abigail, daughter of Dodd and Sarah Lindley. She was of Irish and Dutch extraction and was born in Hamilton County, Ohio, March 12, 1824. The young couple lived for six years or son on the Davis homestead, and in 1855 they set out for their new home in Tippecanoe County, Indian. Mr. Davis made the trip with two wagons and horses and was six days on the way, for it snowed steadily night and day. The rest of the family came on the railroad, but the train was snowbound and the short journey took two days to make. Little improvement had been made on the one-hundred-and-fifty acre tract, part praise and part timber, on which Mr. Davis settled, but he industriously went to work and soon had developed a model farm. He cleared about thirty acres, added thirty-se! ven acres to his original tract, and built a substantial two-story brick house. He has been very successful as a farmer and businessman, and rightly deserves the prosperity, which he enjoys. He uses his ballot in favor of the Republican Party. The first wife of Mr. Davis died December 3, 1872. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church and was loved by all that knew her. Their two children are Alice, born October 1, 1849, and Adeline, born September 16, 1851. The second marriage of our subject was celebrated in this county, September 8, 1874, the lady of his choice being Mrs. Amelia C. Travis. She was born January 4, 1838 in Pickaway County, Ohio, a daughter of Joseph and Mary (Morris) Gougar, of Pennsylvania stock. The mother was a daughter of Samuel and Amelia (Preble) Morris. Mrs. Davis had four brothers and sisters, namely: Martha A., John M. Eleanor E. and Samuel M. Davis. Her father was a farmer and seven times did he journey down the rivers from Cincinnati in New Orleans with produce. A worthy member of the Lutheran church, serving for years as a deacon, he exemplified in his daily life the high principles in which he be lived. He died January 8, 1857, and his wife passed away September 2, 1853. ! After the death of her parents, Mrs. Davis came to this county to visit her sister, Mrs. Eleanor Lutz, and the following year was married to Joseph Travis, a farmer and grain merchant. They were married August 11, 1863, and Mr. Travis died April 8, 1871. Mrs. Davis is a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church. The paternal grandparents of Mrs. Davis were pioneers of Pennsylvania. On one occasion when Mr. Gougar assisted by his wife and two elder daughters, was in the field making hay, their cabin was entered by some Indians, who asked the two terrified children who were there, taking care of an infant, where their parents were. The brave children would give no information, but one of the red men discovered their elders in the distant field and the band started in that direction. The little boy and girl thus left alone, snatched up the baby and fled for the nearest fort, which they reached after many weary hours of traveling about one o'clock in the night. The Indians attacked the parents in field. Mrs. Gougar defended herself vigorously with her pitchfork, but was soon overpowered, scalped, and tied to a bush. The father had no arms with which to defend himself, and as he sprang upon a rail fence nearby an Indian shot at him. The rail broke beneath his weight and he fell to! the ground. Strange to say, the red men believed him dead and without further notice of him the hostilities dispersed. As soon as he dared Mr. Gougar fled to the forest, and the following day, when searching for his wife, he found her tied to the bush, and still living, though she soon expired. The two daughters were carried into captivity and were treated well. They were given a feather bed to sleep on at night, this adjunct of civilization having been taken from one of the cabins, which had raided by them. The family, who paid a ransom for her, afterwards recovered one of the daughters. The other had blue eyes and the Indians would not give her up. She married a chief and would never leave them.

Its mailing address would have been Lafayette, I would think. I have no idea where the records might be kept, if there are any. I believe it was mostly for treatment of TB. My mother said that as a girl in the late 1920s or early 1930s she had TB tests at school and tested a false positive and always had to go to the Ross Sanitarium and get a chest Xray.

Noah Gregg married Catherine Dillman Dec. 21, 1817 in Ross County, OH. He is on the 1818 tax list for Concord Township, Ross Co., OH. He is on the 1820 census for Concord Twp., Ross Co., OH. In 1830 he is in Shelby Twp., Tippecanoe Co., IN; and in 1840, he is in Wabash Twp., Tippecanoe Co., IN. On May 21, 1831 he married Almira Aldrich (Aldridge?) in Tippecanoe Co. In 1835, there's a Noah Grigg on the Delinquent Tax List for Warren Co., IN. He's listed for lot #18 in LaGrange.

The land is described as: Lot #25 in the town of Granville, in the addition laid out by Thomas Concannon. Both deeds were recorded on 23 Jan. 1841. According to the map in the 1878 Kingman Atlas, Lot #25 is just across the alley from Lot #30. It's long side is on East St. and the short side on Market St. Tippecanoe Deed Book, Vol. 27, pg. 522, dtd 25 June 1849: Robert Griggs of Tippecanoe deeds land to Noah Griggs of Tippecanoe for consideration of $100.

Robert Griggs signed with an 'x.' In 1838, Noah Grigg brought suit against one James Hawkins, whom he accused of maliciously wounding and causing the death of two of Noah's bulls, and then later beating up and injuring Noah's "son and servant" Robert Grigg (or Gregg). He sued to recover damages of $150. He lived in Granville, Wayne Twp., Tippecanoe Co., IN, where he was a grocer. In 1850, there were three children listed with the Grigg household: Eliza, age 14, born in IN; Mariah, age 14, born in IN; and James, age 19, born in OH. Noah appears on the 1860 Mortality schedule for Wayne Twp, Tippecanoe Co. He died in Oct. 1860, of old age. He was born in NJ, and was 84 years old. He was a "grocery keeper" and died after 60 days of illness. There is also a death in Aug. 1860 of Robert Grigg, age 4/12?, born in IN, for Wayne Twp. In the 1860 census, James Griggs, a blacksmith, was living in Granville next door to the Joseph Dillman household. Joseph Dillman was probably related to Noah's previous wife. She might have been Joseph's sister, or possibly a widowed step-mother or widowed sister-in-law. Joseph also came from Ross County, OH, but was born in PA.

James Gregg testified in 1868 to knowing Joseph Dillman for 20 years, and vouches for his statements made in his application for a Civil War survivor's pension. They lived near each other in Granville, Tippecanoe Co., IN. I am a descendant of Joseph Dillman. Sorry I don't know more about Noah or his wife.
