Note by HNS notes for Samuel DAVIS
No Cemetery record was found. An article taken from the Centennial History of the City of Newark and Licking County by E. M. Brister., Vol II 1909:
“Samuel Davis and his wife Mary Stone Davis came by wagon in the early days from Virginia, when the country was in a primitive state. He built a large two-storied log house, which class of structure was out of the ordinary in those times. The log house was located near Horners Mills and where the present Newark City Waterworks is (1909). A year later they moved to a farm a mile west of Jacksontown on the National Pike.”
1They were a highly relgious family and were active in starting the Primitive Baptist Church.
