Marc Marc, I am sending this also to the list as I believe before when I wrote to you, your ISP would not accept my message and it bounced. The book "Tombstone Inscriptions and Family Records of Belmont Co., OH" by Esther Weygandt Powell, I do not believe covers all cemeteries in the county. Not only that, but the readings for each cemetery are not necessarily complete either. Mrs. Powell mostly recorded the tombstones that were of people born before 1840, altho. there are some recorded for those born after that year. Since there are so many Davis in the book, I only looked on the pages for the Pease Twp. cemeteries (township where Martin's Ferry was/is located), but did not find a reading for William Morgan Davis' tombstone. -- Bonnie Burkhardt <burkhard@flash.net> <bburkhardt@juno.com> Let the threads that weave meaning through our yesterdays strengthen the tapestry of our tomorrows.
