Note: p, Washington, PA where he was enumerated with 1 male + 45, 1 male 26-45, 2 males 10-16 and 2 males 0-10 plus 1 female +45, 2 females 16-26 and 1 female 0-10 for a total of 10. He lived between William Beale & James Hill. This couple was enumerated in the 1850 census of Jackson Twp, Knox, OH and a facsimile of that sheet is included as App A. Inasmuch as Phyllis Douglas has discovered the grave site of David and Mary in the village of Bladensburg, Jackson Twp, Knox, OH and the inscription on his grave reads David Sabin, Sr. there no longer seems any doubt about that aspect. Since this gravestone gives his death date and age at death, it was easy to calculate his birth. (83-1-12) This may make it easier to pin point his place of birth and parents in time. David Sabin purchased 40 acres of land in Knox Co, Township 5 (Jackson) on 11 Mar 1839. [Note from Phyllis Douglas] I have long thought that most or even all of the family of David Sabin were involved with Alexander Campbell (Campbellites) before they left Washington, PA. And there appears to be more & more evidence of this (other than Rhoda and Daniel's). A history of Knox Co, OH states that Bladensburg was the only village in Jackson Twp. That it was laid out in 1833. In this same history it states "it is a matter of record that the first church of this denomination (Disciples of Christ) in OH was organized in Jackson Twp, Knox Co, in Aug 1828. The church was formed by Elijah Harris (who sold land to Daniel), Washington Houck and John Wheeler and their wives." John Wheeler later removed to IA. I believe that this family followed Alexander Campbell to OH and it is even possible that Isaiah Evan Sabin, plus some Campbells and Frazee's followed John Wheeler to IA.
Note: The first appearance of this man we have been able to find is in the 1820 census of Finley Tw
