FROM HISTORY OF WASHINGTON CO. INDIANA
WASHINGTON CO. & TOWNSHIP

DAVID ALVIS (deceased), a pioneer of Washington County, was born in
about the year 1788 in the Old Dominion, which was also the native
State of his parents, Jesse and Mary (Mallory) Alvis. Jesse Alvis was
an old Revolutionary war soldier, and in about 1806 moved to Shelby
County, Kentucky, where David Alvis, in 1812, married Ellen McKinley,
and from whence he emigrated with his family, in February, 18l6, to
what is now Washington County, Ind., settling near Pekin on the South
Fork of Blue River. In after years David returned to Kentucky and
brought with him on his return. his aged parents, who ever afterwards
made Indiana their home. The Alvis family saw much of the hardships
and inconveniences of pioneer life, and in some way have been
identified with the prosperity of the county from its organization to
the present. Mrs. Ellen Alvis died in 1863; followed by her husband.
in 1868. both members of long standing in the regular Baptist Church,
and both passing away on the old farm they first entered from the
Government in 1816. Perhaps the most widely known or their children
is W. M. Alvis, who was born in Pierce Township, September 6, 1823,
and has always made Washington County his home. Much of his life has
been passed in teaching school, and for eight years he has served as
Treasurer of the county, being elected to that office for eight
different times. Miss C. D. Lapping became his wife in 1850, and J.
Albert and J. D. were their children, the latter being the only
survivor. The mother dying in 1856, Mr. Alvis married Miss A. M.
Motsinger in 1858, and two children, A. C. and Charlie M., have been
