Durbin turns up in that line. Here is what I can tell you....There is a book title "St. Luke's Records 1829-1920s" It is a record of baptisms, marriages and deaths over all those years. St. Lukes is the second oldest catholic church in Ohio. Now on page 116 there is a record of Francis Walter Davis, b. 7 Dec 1883, baptized on 13 June 1886. He is the son of Samuel F. Davis (non catholic) and Elizabeth Blubaugh. His sponsors were Francis Gardner and his wife. Another son named Francis Henry was also baptized this same day, Francis Henry was born in 1885. I can tell you that the Blubaughs and the Durbins were also related. On page 110 there is a record of another child born to Samuel F. Davis and Elizabeth Blubaugh. This child was named Charles Raymond and he was born 27 Jul 1881. On page 157 there is a record of the marriage of Samuel F. Davis (non cath) who married Elizabeth Blubaugh on 25 Nov 1880. The witnesses were Jacob Blubaugh & Jane Davis. There is also a note that said "Samuel has promised not to interfer with wife's religious duties or religious training of the children.)
