PREFACE: This report is a composite from many sources, including research by others, so accuracy is not guaranteed, and others should independently verify items. The contributions of this report are (1) the consolidation of diverse information, and (2) the original search and tabulation of data from Census Records, with many Townships searched page-by-page, and which provides verifying support for other data. It is necessarily incomplete because some lineages were not fully researched, some are omitted, but info on some was added when found on records in close proximity to others of interest. Many other record types have not been researched. Occasionally, explanatory “Notes” are added, or info or dates inserted in parentheses. Illegible handwritten info is marked with either a “ ? ” or “illegible.” Rarely, the “?” may indicate questionable information. Some birth years estimated from Census record ages are shown as “(b ~ date).” In the Census listings below, the “image #x” is the Ancestry.com online image # for that Census record (so the record can be easily found again).

This report provides information on Davis, Ball, Stephens, and Stuntz lineages. The localities are mainly Bedford & Erie Counties, Pennsylvania, and Green County, Wisconsin, and incidentally a few other States. The time span is from 1790 to about 1880. Some persons have been assigned numbers “[x]” that follow them through most of this report. The genealogy of some of the children of Samuel Davis will be issued is separate reports.

======================================================================

SUMMARY: Alexander Davis was born in 1763 in Worcester Co., Maryland, married Nancy (b 1760), and they had probably 7 children in Maryland. By 1810 his family of 9 was in Waterford Twp., Erie Co., Penn., including the 3 known children, Samuel (b 1795 MD), Polly (b 1799), and Susan (b abt 1806 MD).

The parents of Sarah and Gary Ball were Daniel Ball (b 1757 MD) and Catherine Byre (b 1760 MD). Daniel and Catherine married on 3-31-1779, and had 6 children in Frederick Co., MD.

This narrative explains the Samuel Davis – Sarah Ball – George Hilborn Stuntz relationships very well.

George Hilborn Stuntz was born 1789 in Berkley Co., VA, the 6^th of 7 children. An outbreak of smallpox killed his oldest sister Katherine. In the spring of 1801 George’s 2 oldest brothers (John & Conrad) made a trip to Lake Erie via Pittsburg, and returned to Virginia with a favorable report of the area. The family loaded their possessions into a wagon with a 3-horse team and traveled to Crawford Co., PA, arriving in Oct. 1801. The 2 older brothers struck out on their own, so with George’s father in his 60’s, much of the support of the family (7 of 9 family members) fell to 12-year old George.

As an adult, George would become a preacher and a Deacon. He joined the Methodist Church in 7-16-1810. In 1811 he moved near Kingsville, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. He served a few weeks as a Private with the Ohio militia in the War of 1812. Moved back to Albion, PA before 7-22-1815 and became a licensed preacher. Ordained as a Deacon on 9-20-1820, then as an Elder in 1833. Said to have preached, though not an educated man, over 8000 sermons, of which 1000 were for funerals. His circuit extended through NW Penn., Eastern Ohio, and into Northern KY.

PART V-a: [3] POLLY DAVIS & HUSBAND GARY BALL: Brief/partial Genealogy, including Stephens & Montgomery:

SUMMARY: Polly Davis was the daughter of Alexander Davis and wife Nancy (maiden unknown). Alexander Davis was born abt 1763 in Worcester Co., MD, and died 11-26-1849 in Conneaut Twp., Erie Co., PA. The Alexander Davis family of 9 moved from Maryland before 1810 to Erie Co., PA. Polly lived with her parents in Erie Co., PA (in 1810 in Waterford Twp.), until she married Gary Ball. Gary Ball’s sister Sarah Ball married on/bef 1813 Samuel Davis a brother of Polly Davis.

Gary Ball was the son of Daniel Ball and Catherine Byre. Daniel married Catherine on 3-31779 in Frederick Co., MD, and had 6 children here. About 1790-92 they moved to Bedford Co., PA, and had 8 more children (total of 14 children). Gary Ball was born 4-14-1796 in Bedford Co., PA, and died 9-1839 at Joliet, Illinois. In 1810 Daniel Ball family was in Conneaut Twp., Erie Co., PA. In 1820-1830 Gary Ball and wife Polly Davis household were living in Springfield Twp, Erie Co., PA (1820—family of 4; 1830—household of 9).

Gary Ball and wife Polly Davis had 12 children between 1817 and 1839, when Gary died in 1839. Polly cannot be identified in the 1840 Census, because she is living with someone. About 1843 Polly Davis Ball and some of her children moved to Green Co., Wisconsin. One of her daughters, Wealthy, was married in 1884 in Wisconsin to Sylvester R. Stephens, and had 10 children between abt. 1845-1862. In 1850 Polly is living with her married daughter Wealthy , as were 2 other daughters of Polly (Amanda & Sylvia). Also, about 1843, Polly’s son Samuel D. Ball and wife Lydia Montgomery moved from PA to Green Co., Wisconsin. In 1860-1870, Polly is living with married daughter Amanda wife of Jarvis W. Montgomery. Polly Davis Ball died on 3-16-1874.

PART VII--a: LUANNA DAVIS & HUSBAND GEORGE G. JOHNSTON: brief/partial genealogy:

FHL genealogy postings by Richard D. Gloor and C. Bruce Chambers, for Johnson/Johnston, Mayne, Edwards and some others, provided data and guidance for this research.

SUMMARY: Luanna Davis was the granddaughter of Alexander Davis, and the daughter of Samuel Davis. Alexander is the earliest person in the Davis lineage for which information is available. He was born 1763 in Worcester Co., Maryland, and died 11-26-1849 in Conneaut Township, Erie Co., PA. He married Nancy (maiden unknown), who was born about 1760 and died 8-15-1823. Alexander and Nancy Davis probably had 8 children, but information is known on only three: (1) Samuel Davis (b 1795 MD—d 4-23-1737 Erie Co., PA); (2) Polly Davis (b 4-3-1799---d 3-16-1874 Juda, Wisconsin); and (3) Susan Davis (b abt 1806 MD—d 6-22-1850 Erie Co., PA). Before 1810 the Alexander Davis family of 9 members moved from Maryland to Erie Co., PA.

Samuel Davis married Sarah (Sally) Ball on/bef 1813, and 6 children: (1) Luanna; (2) Otho (1817-1899); (3) John (b 1819); Lydia (b abt 1821); (5) Sylvia (b 1827); and (6) Rodney (b abt 1829, d 1853).

Luanna Davis was born 10-16-1813 in Erie Co., PA, and died 12-5-1876 in Mercer Co., PA, and is buried in the Carpenter Cemetery, Mercer Co. She married George G. Johnston abt 1832 in Crawford Co., Penn, and they had 11 children between 1834 and 1857.

George G. Johnston was born 6-28-1814 in Crawford Co., PA, and died 4-14-1874, buried in Carpenter Cem,

Mercer Co., PA. The 1840-1850-1860 Census records have his last name as Johnston. However, some researchers and the 1870 Census record have his last name as Johnson. Some children are found as head of households in the 1880 Census and their last names are spelled Johnston. Therefore, Johnston will be used here. George G. Johnston’s parents were John Johnston, b 1761 in Knockroe, Fermanagh, Ireland, d 4-2-1830 in Crawford Co., PA, and wife Mrs. John Johnston, b 1764, Huntington Co., PA, d bef 4-2-1830 in Crawford Co., PA, buried Crawford Co., PA; they married 1784 in Indiana Co., PA, and had 12 children.

In 1810-1820 John Johnston (b 1761) family was living in Sadsbury Twp., Crawford Co., PA (1810--image #2; 1820—image #3). In 1810 and also in 1820 the household had 11 family members. John Johnston died 4-1830 probably before the 1830 Census. In 1830 several sons of John Johnston (b 1761) were living in Crawford Co., PA. A son, John Johnston (b 1791) was in Vernon Twp., Crawford Co., PA. In 1840 probably 4 sons were in Vernon Twp., Crawford Co., PA. On Census record, p 184B, image #10, are Arthur, George (and wife Luanna Davis), & James, and on p 429, image #9 is John Johnston. In 1850, Arthur & James Johnston are in South Vernon Twp., Crawford Co., PA (p 183B, image #8, and p 184B, image #10). John Johnston is still in Vernon Twp, p 177B, image #14.

From 1850 to 1874/76 George G. Johnston and wife Luanna Davis were living in East Lackawannock Twp., Mercer Co., PA. In addition, several of their married children and the parents of their spouses were living in this township. Also, their daughter Nancy (b 1836) married George E. Leslie in 1853. In 1850 George Leslie was single living in New Castle Borough Twp., Lawrence Co., PA. In 1860, George Leslie, wife Nancy Johnston, and 2 children were living in Shenango Twp., Lawrence Co., PA (could not find/identify them on the 1870 Census index).

Research of Davis and Ball lineages and others suspended here.

=================================================================================================================================

Interpretation: Marriage date of Samuel Davis and Sarah Ball: Some researchers have 1810 and others have 1816. However, the first child, Luanna Davis, was born 10-16-1813, and this birth date is consistent with her 1850 Census age of 37. Therefore, until a more reliable date is found, the marriage date used in this report will be “on/before 1813.”
