"David Bright, Sr., one of the early pioneers of Greenfield township, married Sarah Reber, a sister of Valentine Reber. They came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, to Fairfield County, in the year 1800, and settled where Jacob Bright now lives. David Bright cleared up a farm and like many other pioneers ran a whiskey distillery near his home, which, like all of its kind, proved a great injury to the neighborhood. Mr. Bright reared two sons and four daughters. He died at the very early age of 42. David Bright, Jr., was born in 1812. He married Catharine Arnold for his first wife ; his second wife was Susan Gesselle, who still lives at the advanced age of 87 years. David Bright was a very substantial man, highly esteemed for his industry and integrity, and his skill and judgment as a farmer and business man. Greenfield honors no better citizen than David Bright, Jr. His son Charles married Catharine Carnes, one of an estimable family of Greenfield. Charles moved to near Findlay, Ohio, where he owns a large and fertile farm. He represented Hancock County in the Ohio Legislature a few years since. Samuel married Rebecca Fisher of Greenfield, daughter of Samuel Fisher. He lives upon a good farm in Walnut township. He is a wide-awake farmer and devoted to his business. Raised a Lutheran, on account of new location he became a very devoted Methodist. Emma married Adam Fisher, son of Daniel Fisher of Greenfield. They live in a splendid home in Walnut township near Pleasantville. James married Mary Rugh, daughter of Christian Rugh. Their fine mansion overlooks one of the finest 3OO-acre farms in Walnut township. James is a good farmer, a money maker and a money saver. Julia married William Spangler, son of Jacob Spangler of Pleasant. Luther married Alma, daughter of Jacob Rugh Brandt. He owns the old Abrams homestead in Greenfield township. He is a sturdy farmer and not afraid of hard work. His build and face remind us of the picture of his grand namesake, Martin Luther. John R. Bright married Sarah Rife, daughter of John Rife. He owns the old David Bright homestead, a magnificent place, and is a good, industrious farmer, who raises good crops and whose word is always good. John Bright, son of David Bright, Sr., married Sarah Arnold, daughter of Jacob Arnold. John was a good farmer, good manager and a successful man. He reared a large family. Thomas married Rebecca Bush, daughter of Samuel Bush. He is a good farmer near No. 8. Mary married John Fisher, son of Daniel of Greenfield. Louise married Ben Haas. Haas is one of the Infirmary Directors of this county. Warren married a Holliday of Rush creek. Levi married Louisa Miller, daughter of David Miller. He owns a fine farm near Millersport, Ohio. George has never yielded to the charms of fascinating maidens, and remains a bachelor. Jacob married Annie Heffner of Pennsylvania. George and Jacob farm the original Bright farm. William H. Bright married Ella Myers, daughter of Michael Myers. Nelson married Mahala Miesse, daughter of Solomon Miesse. Sarah Bright, daughter of David, Sr., married Thomas Fetters. They reared a very large family of sons and daughters, a family highly respected and an honor to Thomas Fetters, who was a good man. Margaret married Daniel Arnold ; they were the parents of Monroe and Jerry. Diana married a Boyer and lives near Pleasantville, a widow. Susan married Abraham Graybill; they moved in an early day to Findlay, where they reared a large family of children. John Bright, the brother of David Bright, Sr., spent the greater part of his life on his farm on Poplar creek, Liberty township, Fairfield County. He was married three times and reared quite a family of children. Two of his sons own the old home farm of over300 acres, and are very prominent men in their township, and well known throughout the county. John, Jr., lives at his ease in Baltimore, and Enoch upon his farm. John Bright, Sr., was one of the founders of the Evangelical Church in this county and upon his farm the first house of worship of that denomination was built. Moses Bright is a son of a deceased brother of Enoch. Four of the best known old-time citizens of Liberty, married daughters of John Bright - Alexander Miller, Daniel Langle, John Swartz and Henry Langle. They all reared families and the connection is very large and widely extended. They were all good men and worthy of the high esteem in which they were held. John Bright was a man of integrity, whose word was good everywhere he was known. His descendants bear an honored name and worthily maintain the reputation of the old pioneer."
