Event Notes Note (1) marriage bond Note (2) Amy Davis' location reported by Findagrave as the Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery in Jackson Center, Shelby Co, Ohio, with no supporting photo. But "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 17, reports it as the Seventh Day Baptist Cemetery in Salem, Harrison County, WV. Since her son's birthplace is also reported as Salem in 1820, the same year as Amy's death, the West Virginia cemetery appears to be the more likely.
