4. James Davidson, son of John, and Margaret Armstrong, was about three months old when his father came to Ohio, having been born March 4, 1801, at Red Stone, near Brownsville, Pennsylvania. He died at Burlington, in Lawrence county, Ohio, December 27, 1894. He lived and died upon the same land taken up by his father and at the time of his death was the oldest pioneer in the county. It is believed that he became a member of the Methodist Epis- copal church when it was first organized in Burlington and it is certain that he was a member in 1829, when he married Mary Frances Combs, who died March 11, 1888. He was of the Scotch Covenanter type, softened by the ten- derness of Methodism. His word was as good as his bond. He was a whig, and later a republican. When he was twenty-seven years old, he was com- missioned Lieutenant of the First Company in the Second Regiment, Second Brigade and Second Division of the Militia of the State of Ohio, by Governor Allen Trimble, January 19, 1828, to rank as such from October 6, 1827. By the income from his farm and a carding-machine, which lie operated for over fifty years, he educated all of his children in the public schools, the home acad- emy which he and a few others established and sustained, and in colleges. Nine children were born to James and Mary Frances Combs. The first and second died in infancy.

(1) Major Jeremiah, (see sketch). (2) John X., born September 4, 1836, died August 22, 1892, at St. Paul, Minn. He was educated in the Ohio Wes- leyan University at Delaware, Ohio, and married Susan Lamb. He taught the Ironton High School for many years; later, owned and edited the Ironton Reg- ister and was Postmaster. He removed to St. Paul, Minn. at the close of the Civil War and became one of the owners and editors of The Pioneer, now the Pioneer Press, a leading republican paper of the state. He served one or two terms in the State Legislature of Minnesota.

(3) Col. James Hamilton, born January 25, 1839, married Abbey Lamb, in June, 1861. He was educated at the Ohio Wesleyan .University, at Delaware, Ohio, and enlisted in 1861 as private in Company B., 14th Kentucky Infantry, and soon became First Lieutenant because of his knowledge of military drill. He led his Company in the engagement of Middle Creek where he captured a Belgian rifle of a rebel. He was promoted to Captain at Cumberland Gap, in 1862. He was commissioned Major of the Forty-ninth Kentucky Infantry, De- cember, 1864. He was mustered out of the service. January 16. 1866, at New Orleans. In 1867, he was admitted to the bar and practiced for many years in cember 23, 1863. He was commissioned Colonel of the 122nd United States Colored Troops, December, 1864. He was mustered out of the service, January 16, 1866, at New Orleans. In 1867, he was admitted to the bar and practiced for many years in St. Paul, Minn., and later in Chicago where he now resides. He is a republican, a member of the Loyal Legion and a Mason and while he has never held public office, he has campaigned in many gubernatorial and presi- dential elections and is quite an orator.

(4) Margaret Susanna, the only daughter of James Davidson and Mary Frances Combs, was educated first at the Western College, Oxford, Ohio. Later she received the degree of A. M. pro honora, from the Ohio Wesleyan Universi- ty, at Delaware, Ohio, and the degree of Ph. D. on examination from the Syra-

cuse University, Syracuse, New York. She taught in the village school at Burlington and in the Ironton High School. In 1868, she married Rev. J. D. Fry. The years 1873 and 1874 she spent in Europe. From 1876 to 1890, she was Professor of Belles Lettres in the Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloom- ington, Illinois. In 1890 and 1892 she had charge of the English department of the University of Minnesota. In 1893, she was one of the Judges in the Liberal Art Department of the Chicago World's Fair. She is the author of the book, "A Paradise Valley Girl" and of many newspaper and magazine articles. At present she is the Corresponding Secretary of the National W. C. T. U.

(5) Benjamin Armstrong died young.

(6) Joseph McClain was for many years stationer and book-seller in Ironton. He died October 24, 1899, at Red Wing, Minnesota. He served in the Union Army the last year of the war.

(7) Mighill Dustin, the youngest of James Davidson's children, is a far- mer and still lives in Burlington, as do some other descendants of the children of John Davidson, who settled there in 1801.

It will thus be seen that the children and grand-children of William, the Second, of 1799 had much to do with the development of the southern part of Lawrence county.

The Feurt Family.

The earliest ancestor of the Feurt family, of which we have any knowl- edge, were FRANCIS, the first, and Mary de Feurt, who emigrated from France settling near Princeton, New Jersey. Of their family of thirteen chil- dren, we have the lineal descendants of two sons, (1) Francis and (2) Joseph. who, together with their brother (3) Gabriel, Senior, came to Scioto county, Ohio, in 1796. residing for a time, probably a year, at Alexandria. They re- mained long enough to give their name, Feurt's Run, to the stream now called Carey's Run; but their crops being destroyed by floods, they were forced to . seek higher land.

I. FRANCIS FEURT, second, b. 1741, bought land in the French Grant in 1798 from one of the original French settlers to whom the government had granted land in 1795. This land is still in the possession of some of the French Grant branch of the Feurt family. Francis Feurt, the second, was twice mar- ried.

. III. JOSEPH FEURT, (1751-1806) married Mary Davison (1756-1840) the daughter of George Davison, who had married Mary Warren on March 1, 1750. Joseph Feurt with his wife and eight children came to Scioto county, Ohio. from New Jersey, in 1796. Tradition says he had been a Sergeant in the war of the Revolution. About a year after his arrival at Alexandria, he removed his family to Pond creek, buying land on what was thereafter called "Feurt's Flats" now "Pine Flats" about Lombardville. Here his wife made her home for many years after the death of her husband in 1806, but spent the last years of her life in the home of her son, Gabriel, of Chillicothe Pike, living to the ad- vanced age of 84 years. Their family consisted of (1) Benjamin F. born 1778: (2) Gabriel, (1779-1850); (3) Mrs. Mary Reeves, (1782-1819); (4) George, (1784- 1818); (5) Mrs. Susana Noel, wife of Colonel Peter Noel.

3. GABRIEL FEURT, second son of Joseph and Mary Feurt, was born in New Jersey, December 9, 1779, and came to Scioto county with his parents in 1796. He spent some years with his uncle Gabriel in Chillicothe, where he obtained a better education than was usual for the time. He served in the War of 1812. On February 20, 1812, he was married to Lydia Hitchcock, daugh- ter of Caleb Hitchcock, who came at an early age from Connecticut and settled at the mouth of Munn's Run, owning what is now known as New Boston and the Peebles farm. Gabriel Feurt and his brother-in-law. Jacob Noel. entered a large tract of land on the Scioto river about five miles north of Portsmouth. For this and other lands, he was able to pay by following the vocations of surveyor, cooper, and farmer, and by practicing the rigid economy incident to the times; so that, years before his death on September 9, 1850, he owned one of the finest farms in the Scioto valley as the result alone of his labor and that of his wife, a woman of unusually strong character. He served for many years as Justice of the Peace and was most highly respected for his integrity and good judgment. Soon after her husband's death, Mrs. Lydia Feurt moved from the old homestead to Portsmouth, where she died January 10, 1864, aged

JAMES HITCHCOCK FEURT, '(4) above, the third son of Gabriel and Lydia Hitchcock Feurt, was born on the old homestead on the Chillicothe Pike, March 4, 1818. He received but a country school education; but this was greatly augmented by his having an innate thirst for knowledge which led him to become a great reader of history, science and other branches of study. He followed the vocation of a farmer until 1862, when he sold his por- tion of the old Feurt farm and came to Portsmouth for better educational ad- vantages for his children. He was twice married. In 1855, he was married to Mrs. Nancy Cockrell Johnson, daughter of Jesse and Anna Marsh Cockrell, early settlers of Scioto county. near Lucasville, Ohio. To James H. Feurt and wife were born three children: (1) Mrs. Mary E. Royse, wife of B. Frank Royse, Portsmouth, Ohio; (2) Mrs. Sarah M. Black, wife of Charles Black, Houston, Texas; and (3) a son who died in infancy. Mrs. Nancy Feurt died March 11, 1864, aged 43 years, and James H. Feurt died September 26, 1894, in Portsmouth. (This sketch of the Feurt family prepared by Mrs. Frank Royse, wife of B. F. Royse. covers a period of nearly 200 years (1707-1902) taken from two family bibles in her possession, one being 150 and the other 101 years old.)
