David Ayres, first son of Dr. Isaac and Eliza (Coulter) Ayres, was born in Beavertown, Penn., June 11, 1809. In 1822, he came with his parents to Richland County, Ohio, where they remained till 1847. They then moved to Upper Sandusky, where they resided during the remainder of their lives.
The father died in December, 1848; the mother in 1858. They were the parents of nine children, of whom but five are living - David and Jonathan, and three daughters. The former settled in Upper Sandusky in 1845, and engaged in the mercantile trade, pursuing this occupation a number of years. Prior to his settlement in Upper Sandusky, Mr. Ayres engaged in the mercantile business in Londonville, Richland County, when but twenty years of age, and afterward at Perrysville, Richland County, for a period of two years. He then disposed of his establishment, and after a short period of time spent in agricultural pursuits, for the benefit of his health, again entered the field of traffic at Kalida, Ohio. In 1839, he removed to Putnam County, and formed a partnership with C. H. Rice, father of Gen. Rice, handling a stock of general merchandise at Kalida, then the county seat of Putnam County. He remained here two years, traveled several months, and located in Upper Sandusky till 1853, when he retired with a large amount of property.
He was married in 1835 to Abigail Rice, and four children were born to them. The death of Mrs. Ayres occurred in 1840 or 1841, and our subject was again married, in 1851, to Miss Octave Sutherland, one child being born to them. The death of this second wife and child occurred in 1852, and Mr. Ayres was a third time married, in 1861, to Nancy Jackson. They have no children.
Mr. Ayres has been identified with many of the leading improvements of the town. He is a man of high sense of honor, and is held in high esteem by his fellow Democrats.
