  [S8072384390] The History of Clark County, Ohio, (W.H. Beers & Co., Chicago, 1881), 237. Col. Thomas Kizer, the veteran surveyor, has in his possession a compass made by Dean of Philadelphia; this instrument was owned and used by his father, David Kizer, who obtained it from John Dougherty about 1813; Doughtery got it from Jonathan Donnel. [S8072384390] The History of Clark County, Ohio, (W.H. Beers & Co., Chicago, 1881), 690. David Kizer was born in Shenandoah County, Va., December 20, 1779. Married to Eva Nawman, June 23, 1806; died December 31, 1847 and was buried in Green Mount Cemetery. His wife was born July 11, 1787 and died September, 1869. Mr. Kizer came to Clark County in the 1809 and settled on Section 7, Town 4, Range 10, M R S, in what is now German Township (it was then called Boston), and took an active part in the public affairs of that day. He was chosen Justice of the Peace in 1811; was "out" in the war of 1812, and upon the establishment of this county in 1818, was appointed its first Recorder, to which office he was several times re-elected. A man of undaunted courage and great strength of character, combined with a powerful frame and a good constitution, he was a superior representative of that old class of Virginia pioneers which contributed so much to the settlement of the West, and the establishment of American independence. He was what was called a good scholar in those early days, and taught school in Virginia before he became a pioneer. In 1820-21, he conducted a school in Springfield, which employment helped to piece out the scanty income of the Recorder's office. The first of the above schools was held in a building which stood on the site of the present residence of Edward P. Torbert. The second was in the front or "office part" of what was "Jake Lingle's pottery," on the northeast corner of Spring and North streets. Mr. Kizer brought a small library of books with him, and being inclined to scholarly habits, his house was the headquarters of the literary element of its neighborhood. The children of this pioneer were Phoebe, born May 20, 1807; Rebeca, born May 29, 1809; Lydia, born April 15, 1811; Thomas, born December 18, 1812; Susannah, born August 17, 1815; Eli, born January 25, 1823.
