	JAMES W. DAVIS, one of the leading and respected farmers of Highland township, living on section 7, was born in this neighborhood June 24, 1846, his parents being David and Sarah (Gordon) Davis.  The father was born in Virginia and came with his parents to Ohio about 1810.  He brought apple seed which he planted and from which he raised the orchard that stood upon his farm.  The grandfather, John W. Davis, entered the land from the government and began the development of a pioneer home.  He had served as a soldier of the Revolutionary war and was cut on the forehead by a British dragoon.  He was of English birth, but while his parents were coming to the new world with their two children both the father and mother died and the son and daughter were afterward sold to pay their passage to this country, thus becoming separated and they never met again.  John W. Davis remained a resident of Virginia until after he had attained to man's estate when, as before stated, he came to Ohio.  Here he owned three hundred and twenty acres of land and he was actively interested in the pioneer development of the county, his labors proving of direct benefit in the work of general upbuilding and advancement.  He had six children, two daughters and four sons.      David Davis, the father of our subject, was educated in the common schools and he too followed the occupation of farming, becoming the owner of eighty acres of land which he cultivated in order to provide for his family.  He was a very strong muscular man, well fitted by nature to cope with the arduous work of the farm.  He died about 1852 and his wife passed away in January, 1868.  They were both members of the Methodist church and were people of the highest respectability.  They had eight children, of whom four sons and a daughter are yet living.      James W. Davis pursued his education in an old log schoolhouse which yet stands upon the farm.  It was built in 1840 by Nimrod Holland, the father-in-law of Mr. Davis and is a log structure built in the form of a hexagon.  It is the oldest school building of the county and Mr. Davis is preserving it as a relic of pioneer times.  He left home when only ten years of age and has since lived upon the farm which is now his place of residence.  He first made his home with his wife’s brother and after Mr. Holland removed to the west in 1862 he lived with his mother-in-law for seven years.  He then bought the farm in 1871 and it is still his property.  In February of the following year he married Miss Rebecca Holland, who was born upon this farm Oct. 17, 1845, her parents being Nimrod and Mary Ann (Banford) Holland, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania and came to Muskingum county, Ohio, about 1836, settling upon the farm which is now the property of Mr. Davis.  Mrs. Holland was a daughter of John Banford, who came from Ireland to America and also lived upon this farm.  The old house is now standing in which Mr. and Mrs. Banford spent their last days, the former passing away at the very venerable age of ninety-nine years, while his wife was eighty-six years of age at the time of her death.  Mr. Holland was the owner of eighty acres of land and in addition to his farming pursuits engaged in school-teaching, taking much interest in the cause of education.  Both he and his wife were devoted members of the Methodist church and he died in that faith in March, 1848, while his wife long survived him, passing away in November, 1899, at the age of eighty-nine years.  They were the parents of eight children, three of whom are yet living.  Mr. and Mrs. Davis have become the parents of four children: Mary L., who was born Mar. 17, 1869, and is now a resident of Colorado, married A. M. Osier and has two children, Carrie and Ralph.  Albert H., who was born Nov. 17, 1872 was a student in Warren Business College and after spending six months in that institution he purchased a third interest in the college.  Following his graduation he engaged in teaching there for three years and then sold his interest, since which time he has lived upon his father's farm.  He married Rachel Davis and after her death wedded Anna Schaffer.  Charles E., born Jan. 13, 1875, married Anna Elmendorf and they have four children.  He was formerly with a building company and is now engaged in the coal, feed and wood business in Indiana.  Olive L., born Sept. 29, 1882, is the wife of Bruce E. Sandle, a farmer residing near her father.      Mr. Davis owns three hundred and twenty acres of land to which he gives his personal supervision, carrying on both farming and stockraising, his specialty being Merino sheep.  He is one of the largest landowners of Highland township and his home is pleasantly located about four miles from Otsego.  In his political faith he is a democrat and has served as school director, while in religious belief he and his family are members of the Methodist church.  He deserves much credit for what he has accomplished, for from the age of ten years he has been dependent entirely upon his own resources and all that he possesses has been acquired through his persistent labor guided by sound judgment.  He has worked earnestly year after year and his example should well serve as a source of encouragement and inspiration to others.  Source:  Past and Present of the City of Zanesville, and Muskingum Co., Ohio - Published Chicago: The S.

John T. Davis	JOHN T. DAVIS, M. D.     Dr. John T. Davis, engaged in the practice of medicine in Zanesville, was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Dec. 27, 1847.  His father, Thomas T. Davis, was a native of Wales and on coming to the United States in 1845 settled in Pittsburg, where he secured employment as an iron worker.  When his son John was six months of age he removed with his family to Zanesville.  He had married Eleanor Evans, also a native of Wales, whence she came with her mother to the United States about 1840, their home also being established in Pennsylvania.  They lived with her mother’s brother at Evansburg, that state, Mrs. Davis there remaining until the time of her marriage.  Politically Thomas T. Davis was a republican but had no aspiration for office.  Both he and his wife were devoted members of the Methodist Episcopal church.  He died in 1877 at the age of fifty-six years, while her death occurred in 1886, when she was sixty-six years of age.      Dr. Davis is the only surviving member of a family of six children.  Coming to Zanesville when six months of age he entered its public schools and after putting aside his text-books he worked in an iron mill at intervals.  He attended, however, the high school and a business college here and thus gained a good preliminary knowledge to serve as a foundation upon which to rear the superstructure of his professional learning.  For two years he read medicine in the office of Dr. M. Edwards, while later Dr. Alfred A. Ball was his preceptor.  In 1870-1 he attended Starling Medical College in Columbus, Ohio, and during the summer and fall of the latter year gained valuable knowledge and experience as intern in the Muskingum County Infirmary.  In the fall of 1871 he matriculated in the Ohio Medical College, at Cincinnati, and following his graduation, in March, 1872, began practice in Roseville, where he remained for eighteen months.  On the expiration of that period he removed to Zanesville, where he has since remained.  He spent a portion of the years 1892-3 abroad, pursuing special courses of study in Hamburg and Berlin, Germany, under the care of Dr. Martin, and also at Dresden, Germany, while for two weeks he saw clinical work in the Vienna Hospital in Austria.  He also continued his researches and studies in Italy, Switzerland and Paris and spent some weeks in a London hospital, thus becoming familiar with the methods of practice of the leading physicians and surgeons of the old world.  He returned home splendidly equipped for his life work and he is now successfully engaged in general practice, making a specialty of the diseases of women.      On the 24th of April, 1872, Dr. Davis was married to Sarah Louanna Smith, who was born in Zanesville, Nov. 23, 1846, a daughter of John K. Smith, proprietor of the first last factory in this city.  Two children were born unto them but both died in infancy.  Dr. and Mrs. Davis are prominent and popular socially and are members of the Episcopal church.  He holds membership with all of the Masonic bodies at Zanesville and is a republican in his political views.  He belongs to the County and State Medical Societies and as a practitioner has been very successful.  Starting out in life for himself with limited educational advantages, working in the iron foundry for several seasons and then becoming imbued with a laudable ambition to attain something better, he has steadily advanced in those walks of life demanding intellectuality, business ability and fidelity and to-day commands the respect and esteem of the entire community.  Source:  Past and Present of the City of Zanesville, and Muskingum Co., Ohio - Published Chicago: The S.

McIntire and they became parents of eight children, of whom William E. is the eldest.  Robert J. married Henrietta Howell and they have three children:  Lewis and Ethan, twins, and Angeline.  Hiram W. married Arminta Shaw and had five children:  Charles M., Harry, Carrie F., Edna and Gertie.  George M.

McClure.      At the usual age William E. Dickson entered the public schools and therein acquired a good knowledge of the common English branches.  Later he had the opportunity of attending Muskingum College, so that he was well qualified by his educational privileges for the practical duties of a business career.  He early became familiar with farm methods and is now a prominent farmer living on one hundred and twenty acres of fine land situated about twenty miles from Zanesville.  Here he is extensively engaged in stock-raising and his annual sales of stock add a considerable fund to his income.  He also possesses an excellent and capital knowledge of the carpenter's trade and to some extent engages in contracting and building.   He is known as a reliable business man, industrious and resolute in all that he undertakes and the success which he has achieved is well merited.      On the 22d of February, 1872, Mr. Dickson was united in marriage to Eliza E. Revennaugh a daughter of William and Ellen (McDonald) Revennaugh, of Blue Rock township, Muskingum county, living near Rural Dale.  Mr. and Mrs. Dickson have become the parents of nine children:  Lizzie R.; Ed, who owns a farm at Museville, Ohio, and married Bell McHenry, by whom he has one son, Earl; Dolly D., the wife of Rev.

	WILLIAM H. DUNN, deceased, was born in Wayne township, Muskingum county, Ohio, in January, 1846, his parents being Asa and Caroline (Sedgwick) Dunn.  The father was one of the pioneer settlers of Ohio, coming to this state from New Jersey.  He made the journey in a covered wagon after the primitive manner of the times, took up his abode in Muskingum county, and secured a tract of land devoting his remaining days to agricultural pursuits.  Here his death occurred May 25, 1857.      William H. Dunn at that time was a lad of eleven years.  He was educated in the common schools, was reared to manhood by his mother and lived with her until his death.  In his youth he became familiar with the work of carrying on the home farm and as his years and strength increased he more and more largely assumed the management of the property and the task of improving it.  Throughout his entire life he carried on general agricultural pursuits and his well tilled fields were an evidence of his energy, thrift and practical methods.      On the 2d of October, 1872, Mr. Dunn secured a companion and helpmate for life's journey by his marriage to Miss Caroline Handschy, who was born Dec. 6, 1851, in Muskingum county, Perry township, Ohio, her parents being Fred and Ruth (Winn) Handschy, who were natives of Perry township.  Her father followed farming for many years but is now living a retired life at the age of eighty-four years.  His wife also survives at the age of seventy-nine years.  Mrs. Dunn also has two brothers and four sisters, but is the only one at home.  Unto Mr. and Mrs. Dunn was born a son, Clarence O., whose birth occurred July 22, 1873.  He married Aurelia Hart and resides near his mother's home.  Mr. Dunn departed this life Mar. 10, 1874.  He was a man respected by all who knew him because of his reliability in business, his faithfulness to his family and his loyalty in citizenship.  His political support was given to the democratic party.      Mrs. Dunn resides with her parents and superintends the farm.  She owns two hundred and forty-seven acres of valuable land and under her direction general farming and stock-raising are carried on and to some extent fruit is raised.  She expects soon, however, to leave the farm and remove to Zanesville, at which time the home property will be rented.      She is a lady of excellent business ability and executive force, combining these traits of character with social qualities that render her popular with a large circle of friends.  She is a member of the Baptist church and is held in high esteem by all who know here throughout the county in which her entire life has been passed.  Source:  Past and Present of the City of Zanesville, and Muskingum Co., Ohio - Published Chicago: The S.
