Submitter's Notes ... 

This is real close to a Barns - Davis Genealogy my Mother sent me, which she thinks was sent to her Father. We have no Idea who wrote it. But the above does confirm what is contained in it. the Int. on it are E. R. D. There is a foot note that would suggest that the infomation in the Barns - Davis Genealogy came from someone's Bible. Surnames in the Barns - Davis Genealogy are as follows:  Bard, Davis, Barns, Green,
All of the Above are buried in the Old Salem Cemetery near Shiloh Oh.  Husted, Fisher, Reynolds, Wolfersberger, Hodges, Bellamey, Rummel, Hopkins, Shultz, Pennell, Darby, Peterson, Schaeffer, Rose, Zook, Burns, Ticheno,r Clark, Raubenolt, Murray, McDonald, Cannon, Cline, Myers, Stoldt, Van Devegaet, Halper, Brown, Gutouski, Reed.

Another note at the end reads as follows: In Looking over the enclosed genealogy I found a Notation that a distet relative of the family lives in Bradenton, Fl. The name is Ruth and Ellsworth Foster. Royal Garden Estates, lane 6, lot 63, Cortez Rd.  If I have traced it correct Ruth's Grandmother was the Daughter of Herbert Reynolds. She, Lydia, was a sister of Louisa (Barnes) Davis.
