Note
the above was summarized from entries
on pages 116-117 of 1938 "Official Roster of Soldiers of the American
Revolution
who lived in the State of Ohio" (DAR Publication). Also note-that this
entry
on pp.116-117 (Listed under Clark County) is repeated on page 117 as
"Davis,
William, Shelby Co." This entry is incorrect-the Shelby County Ohio was
William
Forest Ray Davis (vital dates b.2 Dec 1760-d.12 OCt 1837) a resident of
Turtle
Creek Twp Shelby Co Ohio. Last note-a Shelby County Ohio descendant of
William
Davis confirmed he was a resident of Springfield -not Shelby
County-Ohio.

Benjamin Harrison's company, Sept. 6, 1777, of the 13th Virginia
Regiment
(recruited from West Augusta Region, now Pennsylvania). On Oct. 31,
1778
he was commissioned ensign and regimental quartermaster and transferred
to
Co. John Gibson's company, and probably went to Ft. Laurens, the
ill-fated
Ohio fort. On June 8, 1779, received rank of lieutenant. He apparently
served
through the end of the war in or near Ft. Pitt, and ended his service
April
8, 1783. He lived in KY for about 20 years, then moved to what is now
Clark
Co. around 1804. He is buried at the Asbury M.E. Chapel Cemetery with
no
real gravestone, just a marker from the Sons of the American
Revolution.
I have lots more info if anyone cares.

Robert
was a private and was drafted in Goochland
Co., VA in the spring of 1779. His company commander was Capt. Jolly
Parish
and his captain was Nathaniel Massie of Goochland, a person to him well
known.
Robert left home in early spring and was discharged at harvest time. He
removed
from Goochland to Albemarle Co. in Virginia where he was married. He
lived
20 years in Albemarle County after being in the service; then moved to
Kenawha
where he lived for about five years; then moved to Clark County, Ohio
where
he lived until his death. A Mr. W.M. Harris said in a paper delivered
at
a pioneer meeting held near Emery Chapel: "In the first house north of
Possum
Road lived old Mr. Lane. All knew him as 'Grandaddy Lane.' He was a
soldier
in the Revolution, and the only one I ever saw. The boys from Possum
School
used to go to his place for apples. The trees had grown from seeds and
the
apples were sweet." Robert and Elizabeth (Randolph) Layne had the
following
children: Lewis, Elizabeth (who married George McCullough), Susan (who
married
John Kirkpatrick), James, Sarah (who married a Swanngen), Woodson, and
Mary(who
