DAVID HEATH, farmer, P. 0. Mt. Sterling. This venerable old gentleman was born in December, 1800, in Ross County,
this State. His parents were Joseph and Jane Heath. He was reared amid the scenes of pioneer life, in Ross County,
until about fifteen years of age, at which time with his parents he moved to Franklin County, where they located
four years. Thence with them he came to Madison County. He, like his pioneer sire, has seen and endured many of
the vicissitudes and trials of frontier life. In January, 1829, he was united in the bonds of matrimony with Miss
Nancy Thomas, who was born October 16, 1810. She was a daughter of Joseph and Mary Thomas. With them, when a mere
child, she came to Ohio. By this union there has been an issue of ten children, of whom seven are now living -
Joseph, John, William, Emma, Elizabeth, Laura and Margaret. Shortly after his marriage with his estimable wife,
he settled in Pleasant Township, in which township he at present resides. They are both members of the Christian
Church, and honored alike by friends and relatives. Mr. Heath is the owner of 867 acres of good land, which he
has acquired principally by his industry, perseverance and good management.
