David has been found in Methodist Hill Cemetery - findagrave ID 200684652. I'm eager to see a headstone or cemetery documentation before merging this record with the one listed above. Local genealogical societies have not found him in burial transcriptions or obituaries. He is also not listed on this online transcription: http://www.centralohiogravesearch.com/uploads/cem-methodisthill.htm
Documentation for David Davis comes from
-1840 US Census in Truro, Franklin, Ohio
-1850 US Census in Truro, Franklin, Ohio (which names his birthplace as Wales)
Other evidence about his life comes from his children's census records and their death records. Some list his birth as Maryland or Virginia instead of Wales.
He married Elizabeth "Betsy" Ludwig and had the following children:
1.) William Davis 1815 – (not Wm Davis of Columbiana County nor 1850 of Columbus and later of Detroit)
2.) David Davis Jr 1817 – 1887 m. Rosanna Higby
3.) John William Davis Sr 1820 – 1853 m. Isabella "Sims" Town Sowers (mis-transcriptions abound)
4.) Henry S Davis 1824 – 1905 m. Elizabeth Higby
5.) Asa Ashael Davis 1826 – 1910 m. Mary Polly Lantz, Elizabeth Moore, & Edith J. Minor
6.) George Washington Davis 1829 – 1916 m. Ann Eliza Chester (grand daughter of Anna Higby)
7.) Catherine A Davis 1831 – 1900 m. Joseph A. Schoonover
8.) Thomas M Davis 1836 – 1907 m. Catharine Lytle & Mathilda Ruff Ropp
9.) Mary Jane Davis 1840 – 1919 m. Moses C. Hoyt
There are multiple, colorful mentions of the Truro Davis family in Columbus newspapers. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/
The Township of Truro website http://www.trurotwp.org/truro-township-history.html mentions that many residents came from Scotland.
