Schannon, Would there be a James Davis in the Davis cemetery who died about 1858? Thank you very much for doing these look ups for the list. Carl E.

A book that has been discussed on this list is History of lower Scioto Valley, Ohio : together with sketches of its cities, villages and townships, educational, religious, civil, military, and political history, portraits of prominent persons, and biographies of representative citizens. The entire historic book, all 43 chapters and appendix, has been scanned for viewing, printing, or downloading (up to 50 pages) at HeritageQuest Online Many libraries subscribe to this research database which also can be received with a membership in the Godfrey Memorial Library.
There were a couple of references to the book: Calvinists Incorporated: Welsh Immigrants on Ohio's Industrial Frontier by Anne Kelly Knowles ---- I am researching Joseph Humphreys (various spellings) and also some others that I think might be of Welsh descent. Joseph Humphreys (born approx. 1786) has been impossible to find anywhere. I jumped at the chance to possibly find him in this book---and other surnames, also.

Judie & Ruth, I just googled, Calvinists Incorporated, and found several reviews and sources, such as Barnes and Noble, and other sources, such as the Chicago publisher. There also were several solid reviews of this paperback. Price is roughly $29. I'd imagine the book might be available through many libraries, particularly those in Ohio or at least, Southern Ohio. It looks like a really good area book.

Standard Journal Feb 28 1900 Davis - David J.W. Davis died at his home in Gallia county, Jan. 8, 1900. His funeral was held Jan 10, at Ty'nrhos, and was largely attended. Mr. Davis was one of the oldest Welsh pioneers, and was a native of Wales where he was born at Cilcenin in Cardiganshire, in 1818. His parents were John and Mary Davis, who died in Wales. He emigrated in 1841, and settled at Pittsburg, where he remained nine years. During his stay there, he was employed as a miner in the Coal Hill mine, and when he removed to Gallia county, which occurred in 1850, the name Coal Hill followed him, and he became known as David Davis, Coal Hill, to distinguish him from the many fellow country men of the same name. Mr. Davis had married Jane Jones, Rhywwen, in Wales in 1837, and they lived together until 1891, when she was removed by death. Their children were Stephen, John, Jenkin, David, Mary, Jennie, Timothy, and Edward. Stephen and Timothy are living in Gallia, David lives near Samsonville in this county, Jenkin in Nebraska and Edward in Wyoming. Jane is the wife of Isaac Hughes of Madison and Mary married Thomas Davis. Jennie died many years ago, and John lost his life in a saw mill explosion. His sons David and Evan are the projectors and leading spirits in the Ohio Fire Brick Co. of Oak Hill. Stephen and Timothy were named after two brothers of Mrs. Davis, both of whom were ministers. Rev. Stephen Jones died in Wales, Rev. Timothy Jones is known in this county, and is now living in Wisconsin. Mr. Davis was elected a Deacon in the Ty'n Rhos Church in 1857, and continued an active church man all his life. Rev. T.C. Davies, of Pittsburgh, and M.H. Morgan, of this place went to Gas City, Indiana, Sunday to organize a Welsh Methodist Church. There are a number of Welsh at this place working in glass and tin factories and the new church starts in a flourishing condition. It is about seventy miles west of here near Marion. The ministers of this neighborhood will supply the new church for the present.
Hi, I'm going to post some Davis info from my files so that others hopefully can use it. If I have other info on these copies, I'll put it past the Davis info on the same page. Karen Jackson Standard Journal Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1900 Mrs. Margaret Davis, of near Rio Grande, the wife of Mr. T.J.W. Davis, whose illness has been mentioned in the Journal passed peacefully to rest Sunday morning February 11, after almost a year's suffering with consumption. She bore her suffering bravely and met death with the hope of a Christian's future. She, early in life, united with the Congregational church at Ty'n Rhos and lived a faithful Christian life until the One whom she served, saw fit to call her from this world of sorrow to reap the rewards of an earnest effort through all eternity. Mrs. Davis was born in the old homestead near Rio Grande, where her only brother Mr. James E. Davis, now lives. After marrying, she moved about two miles west of Rio Grande. She leaves a husband, a little son five years old and one brother, Mr. James E. Davis, to mourn the loss of a devoted wife, a loving mother and an affectionate sister. - (Gallipolis Journal) There are 915 inmates in the Athens State Hospital. Of that number about 42 are from Jackson county. H.V. Speelman was reelected Secretary of the Ohio Republican League at the annual convention held at Cincinnati, Feb. 12. The next meeting will be held at Cleveland. A son was born Feb. 7, 1900, to Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Callahan of Bloomfield township. Mrs. J.W. Jones who has been seriously sick for some time past, was stricken with paralysis Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. She was well advanced on the road of improvement and her friends were hopeful for her speedy recovery. The paralysis came with a shocking surprise involving her entire right side. Dr. Bean was dispatched for and made her as comfortable as possible. (Gallipolis Journal) Mrs. Jones is a sister of Mrs. S.C. Smith of this city, and has many friends here who regret to hear of her continued illness, and who hope for her early and complete recovery. Lindsey Brookings who was called home on account of the death of his sister has returned to college at Columbus. Rev. C.W. Brady well known in this county is now holding a successful revival at Rodney. The Dowd-Higgins Co. of Wellston was incorporated Feb 13, with a capital of $10000. Gwilym Savage of Palmyrs, has been elected to fill the unexpired term of T.L. Lewis as Secretary-Treasurer of the U.M.W. of Ohio. Gwilym is the Welsh equivalent of William. Hon. Lot Davies, introduced a bill in the Ohio House Feb. 13, to provide for an official stenographer for Jackson county. The pension of William Dixon of Coalton has been increased from ten to twelve dollars a month. Three of the Nimrod friends of Rev. David L. Hughes remembered him with gifts when he started west. Mr. Andy Rowland gave him a hound, Mr. Evan Edwards gave him a bird dog, and Mr. Evan O. Roberts gave him a ferret. He will be thrice equipped for the extermination of all vermin on his prairie farms.
Helen - Thank you for the info. He was 13 when he died, can't think they were out of state, but hey, you never know. Don't know if there was an obit for him, I've checked OHS holdings and I don't believe they have Jackson papers for July 1880. But I will check again. Good luck in your hunts! Lisa
Thank you to all the suggestions about why Jane might have reverted in her later years to the name JONES. (also her maiden name) The possibility of re-marriage is a good one. It would have had to have happened between the 1860 and 1870 census. In 1860 she was listed as Jane Jinkens (sic) and in 1870, she lived with her son, David J. Jenkins as Jane E. Jones. She is listed as a widow in both, but her second husband could possibly have died before the census. Not sure I will ever know, but I will look for the death certificate, and a marriage license. I will also check the Horeb Cemetery now for Jane E. Jones, as her tombstone might reflect the final name. So many possibilities!! Thanks, everyone. Kathi Jenkins Elliott
Lisa, If he died out of state and was brought home for burial you won't find the DC in Ohio. Sometimes the Obit will give you clues to that situation.

Not necessarily. My William E. Brady was recorded on the 1880 census in Jackson County in June. His tombstone reads he died in July 1880 and I have not been able to locate a death record. Good luck in your search. Lisa
