A beautiful house built at that location - left empty for years and mysteriously burned about 1990. More to be written. It sat on the west side of Rt 7 just south of the junction of Heck Rd. I always admired it - think they called the style 4 square house - One day it was there (very overgrown), then one day it was gone. Not just a clump of weeds and trees. Think there use to be a metal building behind the house for equipment. Pass it all the time, should take a photo. David S was David Silver Firestone. He and Sarah had four children.

Nicholas Firestone, the paternal grandfather was one of the earliest settlers in Fairfield Twp. He was of German paternity and on the maternal side came from an old Quaker family. He was born and reared in Virginia and it is related that he made a journey on foot as far as Tennessee, where he remained a year with his mother. He was married close to the Maryland line to Elizabeth GOOD, and they had these children: Mrs Kate CHRIST; Mrs. Polly CHRISTY; Betsy, who married Joseph HISEY; Peter; John; Henry and Mrs Susan CLINKER. Nicholas Firestone brought his family to Ohio in a covered wagon arriving in the eastern part of Fairfield Twp in 1801. This was all a wilderness at the time and the family lived in a wagon until he could cut down forest trees and build a long house. After the death of his first wife, he married the widow Church, formerly a LINN. There was no issue to this union. After this marriage he appears to have moved to the Jonathan HISEY farm. He died just before the Civil War. For many years he had been one of the township's leading men, was one of its first trustees and was a great temperance man, very active in the Washingtonian movement. He was survived by a number of his children and by a young women whom he and his wife had reared, now a Mrs. HAROLD. Peter FIRESTONE, father of our subject was born in Fairfield Twp, 02June 1802, a son of Nicholas and Elizabeth (GOOD)FIRESTONE. He was twice married, his first wife dying in July 1830. On 02 February 1831, he married Sally ALLEN,who was a daughter of David ALLEN, also a pioneer in Fairfield Twp. To this union seven children were born, namely: Benjamin, born 19 Nov 1831, who married and had a family of children: David Silvers, our subject, who was named for the family physician: Levi, deceased born 04 July 1835; Mary Ann, wife of Solomon VOLLNOGLE of New Waterford; Lydia Ann born 21 October 1838 deceased; Eliza born 28 June 1843 wife of Peter Smith of Fairfield Township; and Sara born 02 July 1845, deceased. The mother of this family died 06 Feb 1885. David Silvers Firestone was reared on the home farm, spending his boyhood and youth in the enjoyment of better home conditions and school opportunities than were given many of his associates. In early manhood he made a trip to Kansas, in company with his cousin Abner ALLEN, in order to enjoy the excellent hunting of to be found in that region. It seems strange to recall this incident, for now that whole section of the country is covered with every evidence of civilization. Mr Firestone was in Kansas during the troubled year of 1857 but he took no active part in the political strife in that locality. While in Clay County, however, he was so well pleased with the appearance of the land that he entered a quarter-section, one portion for himselfand the other for his brother. Later he sold his land to his brother and the property is still owned by the family. Following his marriage, Mr. Firestone settled on a farm of 87 acres of choice land in the southeastern part of section 2, Fairfield Twp, just across the Youngstown and East Liverpool main road which runs by his home from the homestead entered by his grandfather. The present comfortable home was erected and the gounds attractively laid out in 1870 and some years later the commodious barn was put up. The place little resembles the wild uncultivated tract that it was when he first located here. Mr. Firestone can with pleasure look over his many improvements and recall the occasion when he cleared this or that field, made the fences, set out the trees and errected the buildings, each year marking progress. He now has one of the most attractive homes in the township. He still makes this his settled home. but all the farming operations are directed by his capable son-in-law David WALKER (sp). During his active years he was an extensive and successful breeder of cattle, hogs and sheep, making a specialty of the last named. He still retains his membership in the Black Top Merino Association of Washington, Pa.and the American Shropshire Association. He is probably one of the best judges of stock to be found in the county. On 26 September 1861, Mr. Firestone was married to Sarah A ARMSTRONG, who was born 28 February 1839 and died 20 April 1902. they had four children, namely: Allen a machinist located at Alliance, Ohio, formerly a resident of Columbiana who married Ella SEIDNER and has one daughter- Eva; Dora who married David WALTER and has two children Ina May and Goldie Fay; Anna who married Andrew DICKEY of Louisiana and has four children-Florence, Mabel, Ola and Etta; and William of Columbiana County who married Bessie LYON and has four children, Grace, Richard, Walter and David Arthur. Few families in the township are more prominent than the Firestones. page 640-641 History of Columbiana County and Representative Citizens edited and compiled by William B McCord, Salem Oh. published by Biographical Publishing Co.
