From HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY

Page 950
DAVID TWAY, farmer and stock-raiser, P. O London, was born in Fayette County, Ohio, August 24, 1834. He is the son of Nathaniel and Sophia (Salmon) Tway, natives of Ohio, the former of Scotch-Irish and the latter of Dutch descent. Our subject received his education principally in the high schools of Shelby County, and early commenced farming, an occupation which he has since followed. He is the owner of a 300 acre farm, formerly known as the "Watson farm," but latterly as the "Spring Branch Farm." It is well improved, thoroughly cultivated, and graced with a good and substantial brick residence, which our subject has built since his residence there. Mr. Tway is one of a family of thirteen children. He was married, October 20, 1864, to Miss Maria Louise Hidey, a native of Fayette County, and a daughter of Joseph and Mary (Carr) Hidey, the former a native of Virginia, and the latter of Ohio, of Dutch and English descent. Six children have been bort to bless this union, viz: Albert, Joseph H., Mary S., Eliza, David Ross and Margaret. Mrs. Tway is a member of the Universalist Church. Mr. Tway is a stanch Republican and takes a great interest in the political welfare of his party. His grandfather was a soldier in the war of the Revolution, and he had a brother Nathaniel, who fought in the late rebellion as Orderly Sergeant, in the One Hundred and Fourteenth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served through the war. Mr. Tway is a live, energetic business man, and has made his property by his own personal efforts.
