I, too, have struggled to find clarity out of much of the info on the web regarding Dudley Daniel DAVIS' parentage. Born Oct 1763, Nottingham West, Hillsboro Co, NH or .... due to boundary changes at the time in MA (see info below) Marr (different from some listings, see below) 05 Mar 1785, Dracut, Middlesex, MA to Mercy WOOD Died 14 Sep 1825, Salem Twp, Washington Co, OH Buried Sep 1825, Duck Creek farm, Salem Twp, Washington Co, OH Info I have gathered, with sources: Patti Escamilla on FamilyHistory.com lists birth as Oct 1763, MA; death as 13 Oct 1825; marr as 11 Aug 1785 NH. Says he was a Rev War soldier, rec'd bounty lands in OH (VA Military District), applied for pension 1818. Rev War records listed him as DAVICE from Dracut, MA age 17; but listed birthplace as Nottingham West, NH, stature as 5 foot 4 inches. Service records were from June 1779-Dec 1783. He was discharged from West Point. Moved to Tungridge, Orange Co, VT in 1790 where he and his wife lived for 3yrs before heading for the OH lands in 1792. (Sold his land purchased from Thomas WOOD to Solomon CURTIS.) Landed in OH/NWT 02 Dec 1792 at Belpre opposite Blennerhassetts' Island. Because of the Indian War they had to live in the Belpre Garrison until the spring of 1795. Then they moved onto a Donation Tract Lot on Duck Creek in Salem Township, Wash Co, OH. March 26, 1795 Dudley drew for his Allotment (The OH Land Company; Lot #62) land on Duck Creek, near Lowell. Later moved to Noble Co OH in 1808, 1809, 1813, 1819 bought and sold land.

Listers Would anyone on the list be researching the Dudley D. Davis Family of Salem and Adams Townships, Washington County, Ohio. Dudley is my 4th great grandfather on my fathers side of my family. I am finding a lot of conflicting info on his parentage and was looking for someone that may have his line. I have his military record and place of birth and his history of the time he spent in Washington County. His wife Mercy Wood and info on his children. His parentage in all the family trees I have found dosen't add up in real time possibly as being correct. The dates don't match. Is there anyone out there researching this family that would like to exchange info?.. Dudley D Davis was born abt Oct 1763 in Nottiingham Mass. married Mercy Wood in Dracut , Mass Aug 11 1785. Came to the area in 1792 and stayed at the Belpre Garrison during the Indian War. is related to the Jonas Davis killed by Indians just before his Wedding at the Belpre Garrison. Thank You and Happy Hunting Linda lrhall175@aol.com

Debbe, I'm in VA, DC suburbs. It lulls us into thinking It's over then comes back with a roar! And it's "just a class 2". I did what you did and made lots of ice cubes, in case. Power has flickered several times but not gone off completely. I have a big old weeping willow, 30 years old, and the roots are shallow so I'll probably take cat naps till this is over.

Eliz; Did you know that you can get a home page from AOL and don't even have to subscribe? That would be a good place for you to put the Bible info. And if you send me the link, I will add it to the LINK page. Only one thing.................once you start adding text, you have to type all the info in maunally. You can't use the copy and paste. I use hometown AOL for all my Wash. Co. sites, because it's FAST and sooooooo EASY to do. You don't even have to know how to put it in HTML format. Check out: http://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.pspsiteId=hometownUS&authLev=1 &mcState=initialized&triedAimAuth=y This should bring you to a Sign-in page. At the bottom you'll find this: Don't have a Screen Name? Get One Free! Click on that and it will walk you through the rest. One word of advice....Do your site with a BLANK PAGE. That way, you can put anything you want on it. Hope this helps......you sure do have some valuable info that I'm sure could be a use to someone.

This is an article from the Jan 15, 1919 Republican Journal of Caldwell, OH (Noble County) FORMER RESIDENT INJURED J.H. NUNN, formerly a resident of Noble county, now located at Marietta, was the victim of a painful accident on January 2, when he fell from the top of a drilling machine at Cutler, and as a result sustained three broken ribs and other injuries, which confines him to his home.
