> Dear Terri, Noticed you are researching JAMES DAVISON (died 1831). Dont know if he is the same person but here is a reference to a James Davison (pioneer) in the Windsor & Richmond Gazette newspaper 1916-1920 index to births deaths marriages inquests obituaries probates etc, that we recently published. This index and the micro film reels of the newspaper are available at the Hawkesbury Library (Windsor). It may be worth a look as some of the articles featured in the newspaper relate to early events, some dating back to the late 1700s written by historians over 100 years later. There are also 10 other entries for Davison. There are also another 12 entries in the 1911-20 index to various Davison names but none to the pioneer. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Terri Jeffery" <jefferyeltham@bigpond.com> > Subject: [H,H,HV] Davison Family > > > Hi List, > > I am looking for descendants and information of James Davison who > > arrived on the Coromandel early 1800's.
