THE DAVIS HOMESTEAD
GREENWOOD"
BU Bird Belt

By Byrd Belt
At 2 P. M. on Sunday, Septem-
Der II, 194S, the Chevy Chase
Chapter Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution will unveil mark
er on the gatepost of Greenwood"
the homestead of Thomas Davis,
settler in Anne Arundel and How
ard Counties, Maryland. Thomas
Davis, the elder, was descended
from Sir Thomas Davis of Wales,
member of the London Company
to settle Virginia. Thomas Davis
Joined others in a trek from the
Virginia Colony into Maryland in
1890. In 1921 he purchased Snow
den Manor, known later as Green
wood, located in a fertile spot a
short distance from Brookeville
and not far from Cooksville.
Thomas Davis, the settler, mar
ried Mary Pierrpont of Anne
Arundel County whose father and
mother had also moved from Isle
of Wight county in Virginia into
Maryland. Mary's father, Henry,
was a man of means for he paid
for transportation Of his wife and
five children from Virginia, and in
a legal document bearing the date
of November 1, 1865, he is said to
have owned 1865 acres of land. He
was we'll educated and had a fine
public spirit. Still standing on
the property at Greenwood is a
small two-story stone building
used by the settler and his family.
In 1908 his grandson, Ephraim,
added an extension which forms
the main portion of Greenwood as
it stands today. In 1854, Allen
Bowie Davis, son of Ephraim, add
ed a tower from which he could
view his estate and in which he
could carry on his studies in agri-
culture and law. In this tower,
which has been torn down, he
wrote a school text book on Agri-
culture.
The last descendant of Thomas
Davis to live at Greenwood, was
Mary, daughter of Allen Bowie
Davis. Before her death, she gave
many relics of the family to the
Maryland Historical Society in
Baltimore. The home and estate
are now the property of Mr.. Rob-
ert Nash. The home is used as
Youth hostel and offers shelter and
protection to young people on tour
of their country.
Thomas Davis and Mary Pierr-
pont had eleven children. These
children intermarried with the
Gathers, the Towards, the Bow
les, the Riggs, the Warfelds, the
Hobbs, the Hammonds, the Grit
fiths and other prominent families
of Maryland. In his lifetime, the
settler acquired a great deal of
property. In his will which was
probated in 1749, he left Green
wood to his son, Ephraim. Snow
denis second addition to Ephraim
and two of his daughters; to his
grandson, Caleb, son of Robert
(deceased) a tract of two hundred
acres called "Duvalls Delight" To
his son, Thomas, he gave LaswelPs

Charlie Tilton, clerk at the Cald-
well Kroger store, has all the nee
essary rods and reels needed for the
fast approaching fishing season and
he is only one of hundreds through
out Noble county who will enjoy

Almost a half million fishing Ii
censes for the 1948 season have been
forwarded to agents throughout the
entire state and are now on sale to
provide Ohio anglers with the legal
means of fishing, beginning March
l. Licenses may be secured locally
from Clerk Violet Morgareidge and
Clerk of Courts George L. Thomp-
son.
All persons eighteen years of age
or over are required to secure a Ii
cense to fish except owners of the

diate families.
Bass fishermen should note that
the closed season on black bass will
be May to June Is
Again this year, for experimental
purposes, closed season, legal
lengths and bag limits shall not ap-
ply to fish taken from Seneca Lake

secutive win of the season to re-

FINAL STANDINGS in the Nobl,
BY LONG

FINAL STANDINGS in the Noble
county league show no teams finish
ing in the positions held last year,
with Summerfield moving from
second to first, Batesville from
fourth to second, and Harriettsville
from fifth to third. Last year the
Gophers dropped only two league
games, both to undefeated Dexter,
while this year the Marion township
boys ran roughshod over league and
non-league opponents for II straight
wins. Summerfield bettered Dexter's
12-game mark of 584 points by tos-
sing in 626 an average of So points
per game. Defensively, they allowed
only 300 points, compared to 324 for
last years champs, but still not
quite as good as Harriettsville's
mark of 299 set last season

Read the other day where country
folks and farmers spend more
money, proportionately, on their
homes than city dwellers do.
Doesn't seem hard to believe
when you think it over. Take the
folks in our town, for instance:
They're home loving people
who'd rather spend an evening by
the fire with mellow glass of beer
than go out in search of entertain
ment or diversion.
So it's only natural they put more
into what means most to them and
to their children: their homes. They

pating players, according to "Kirch".

well Coziers, Caldwell Collegians,

"KIRCH'S" COLLEGIANS tackle
the City All-Stars of Marietta in
the preliminary to the Marietta Wit
tenberg game at the field house this
Friday night, February o. Probable

to be given April 80. Annual spring

BRUCE HINCHCLIFF was named
manager of the local baseball team
at the meeting held in the VFW hall
last week. Dick Davis was elected
secretary-treasurer while plans for
this spring and summer were dis
cussed by the 18 present. Prospects
for a pretty fair team seem likely,
with practice to begin with the ad-
vent of warm weather. 1t is planned
to use the diamond on the fair
ground again this season.
