Sue, I was just reading my email and came across your posting regarding Alexander Davidson and Elizabeth Julia Martin. It rang a bell because coincidentally, I've been working the last two days on this line---just trying to fill in the blanks. My gr grandmother was Nancy Jane Martin, younger sister of Elizabeth. I'm trying to fill in what i don't have on Nancy's siblings. I have Alexander and Elizabeth with 2 children in 1860 census. In 1870, Elizabeth, widowed, with 3 children, is still living next to parents Gallatin and Christina Martin. In 1880, She is widowed again and she and her youngest daughter Elizabeth are next door to her brother Abner. On the other side of her, is a Vincy Singleton. Could this be her daughter Lavinia/Vinia? Ages match up, her first name is similar. In 1900, Julia E. Davidson is living with daughter Elizabeth Wood, also a widow and next door to son William and his family. It appears that Lavinia has died. That's where I am so far on this family. I hope you can help fill in the blanks. Questions I have are: Do you have Elizabeth's death date and place of burial? Was Alexander Davidson on the side of the North or the South in the war? I know Abner Martin fought for the Union, whereas my gr grandfather William H. Floyd, who married Nancy Jane Martin fought for the Confederacy. Do you know if Elizabeth's 2nd husband died and if so when---or did this marriage possibly end in divorce. Elizabeth Davidson Wood---who was her husband and when did he die? Do you have any info on Lavinia? Thanks for any info you can share. Mary Faith Matthews
