| 6256 | Amy Davis' location reported by Findagrave as the Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery in Jackson Center, Shelby Co, Ohio, with no supporting photo.

| 6261 | An analysis of the neighboring households in the 1810 Census of Harrison County, Virginia has determined that Joseph and Hannah Davis were residents of present-day Doddridge County at that time. Joseph Davis in the 1810 United States Federal Census Name: Joseph Davis Home in 1810 (City, County, State): Harrison, Virginia Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 15: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44 : 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 4 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44: 1 Number of Household Members Under 16: 8 Number of Household Members Over 25: 2 Number of Household Members: 10 Because the 1820 and 1830 censuses were reported alphabetically by head of household, rather than household-to-household, it cannot be determined where within the county each household was located. Joseph Davis in the 1820 United States Federal Census Name: Joseph Davis Home in 1820 (City, County, State): Harrison, Virginia Enumeration Date: August 7, 1820 Free White Persons - Males - 45 and over: 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44: 1 Number of Persons - Engaged in Commerce: 1 Free White Persons - Under 16: 4 Free White Persons - Over 25: 2 Total Free White Persons: 6 Total All Persons - White, Slaves, Colored, Other: 6 Joseph Davis in the 1830 United States Federal Census Name: Joseph Davis Home in 1830 (City, County, State): Harrison, Virginia Free White Persons - Males - 15 thru 19: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 50 thru 59: 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 5: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 5 thru 9: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 15 thru 19: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 20 thru 29: 1 Free White Persons - Females - 40 thru 49: 1 Free White Persons - Under 20: 5 Free White Persons - 20 thru 49: 3 Total Free White Persons: 9 Total - All Persons (Free White, Slaves, Free Colored): 9 We have not found a record for Joseph Davis in the 1840 Census, but it is almost certain that he was still in the part of Harrison County that is present-day Doddridge County, formed in 1845. Records show that on March 31, 1848 in Doddridge County, Joseph and Hannah Davis signed a deed donating a lot to the Middle Island Seventh Day Baptist Church where the Pioneer Cemetery (aka the Old SDB section of Blockhouse Hill Cemetery) is now located. [per Susie Davis Nicholson, p. 21] | Family: Joseph DAVIS / Hannah SUTTON (F7585)

| 6271 | An explanation of the change of his surname from Cottrill to Childers is reported on Findagrave as follows: "Walter Ernest Childers was born Walter Ernest Cottrill in 1883. In early 1884 his mother Mary Ross Cottrill died. His father Edward Cottrill decided it would be best for the children: Icy Victoria, Charles and baby Ernie to be fostered out. Icy and Charles to their grandparents Ross and the baby, who was probably only about 3 months old, to a relative on Mary's side of the family. He kept the name "Cottrill" until sometime after 1900. Before 1907, when he married Odie Yost, he changed to Childers. There is no formal record of this, to my knowledge." https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=5415273 | CHILDERS, Walter Ernest (Cottrill) (I101550)

| 6273 | An oil magnate, John D. Rockefeller started refining oil in Cleveland, Ohio in 1862, and in 1870 founded the Standard Oil Company (Ohio). He moved to take over other oil refineries, until by the early 1880s he had succeeded in holding a near monopoly of oil production in the United States. In 1890 a strong anti-trust mood in the United States led to Congress's passing of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, which was directed at such trusts as Standard Oil, the largest of them all. Rockefeller tried to dodge this law by breaking the company into "separate" state corporations--which were still held together by a single directorate, incorporated in 1899 as the holding company, Standard Oil of New Jersey. In 1911 the U.S. Supreme Court held that this arrangement violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and broke up the holding company. But by this time Rockefeller had turned his interests to works of philanthropy, especially those related to university education in America. In his lifetime he and his Rockefeller Foundation gave away 500 million dollars in education grants.
