I am also researching the Mavis (Mavisin?)family.Suzannah Mavis (listed on pg.488, History of Knox Co., OH, as Suzannah Mavisin).is my 4th gr. grandmother. She was born in Lancaster Co.,PA 3-23-1806. Her sister, Margareth Mavis was born one year later, 1807 in VA or OH (per U.S. Census).Suzannah Mavis married George Holtz in Belmont Co.,OH in 1825. They later moved to Jackson township, Knox Co., OH where they lived the remainder of their lives. I am a descendant of their son, Lewis Holtz. A later census shows Margareth Mavis, Suzannah's sister living next door. Have you tried looking for your ancestor in the town of Jackson? He would probably be a nephew of my ancestor. The name is not a common one. Would appreciate any info you find.Kristen
