"This is, therefore, an authentic record of nearly all of the pioneer settlers of the township [Elk Township], together with the number of acres owned by each, and the value of the same in 1833." [...] "Among the owners of personal property in the township in 1833 are found the following names, which do not appear on the foregoing list:...Jesse Davis, Kinsey Davis, Isaac Davis, ...James Sweeny..." [...] "Prior to 1812 Jesse Davis and family, from Pennsylvania, settled in this township. His children were Isaac, Kinsey, Jesse, Nathan, Rebecca (Mrs. James Sweeny), Rachel (Mrs. Francis Miller), Polly (Mrs. Emanuel Hupp), Annie (Mrs. Henry Prior), and Louisa (Mrs. William Enochs). The family became scattered, and now has but few representatives in the county."
