My Rev David Davies (Davis) was born in 1817 Carmarthenshire, Wales and died in 1888 in Paris, Wayland, Portage County. David and wife Rachel Williams had a very family. Bowen (A portrait and biographical record of Portage and Summit counties, Ohio, containing biographical sketches of many prominent and representative citizens, together with portraits..., 1898) notes Rev Davies arrived from Wales in 1852. Rev Davies ministered in Tallmadge, Summit County and Thomastown (Coventry-Springfield area). Daughter Mary Martha Davies (b 3 Oct 1846 in Wales - died 9 Feb 1923 and buried Glendale Cem, Akron) married 25 May 1870 James Geer Brewster (9 children). DAVIES is also spelled DAVIS. Hope this helps.
