Posted on: Knox Co. Oh Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Knox?read=277 Surname: Davis ------------------------- Patricia - in your Martinsburg Ohio information do you have any connections with the Davis family who lived there (Aaron, Moses Martin or Winfield)? Can you give me any tips for finding information and history on this area of Ohio? I've seen copies of the "History of Knox County" and found bits of info there but was wondering if there are any books specifically on Martinsburg Ohio? John Roy (a great uncle of mine - married Elmira Davis, daughter of Aaron) was probably the first school teacher of the village school in Martinsburg - he came after your Sam Hill and later moved on to Illinois. Miss Anna Davis (a great aunt of mine and daughter of Moses M. Davis) taught school under superintendent Ikes. My grandfather Aaron was a trustee of the Martinsburg Academy (I can find no infomation on this academy as it is long gone!). I have one possible connection with your family - a John Kerr who married Sarah Scott b.1801 who was my grandmother's Rachel Scott Davis' sister). Thanks for any info you have.
