Surnames: Davidson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FNR.2ACEB/3270 Message Board Post: We have a tintype photo in our family collection labeled Kate Davidson. Handwriting is that of Ethel Patterson Hopkins, whose mother would have been similar in age to Kate. That assumes the Kate I find in 1880 and 1860 is the same one as in the photo. Ethel and her mother grew up in Butler Township, Richland County, Ohio, and that is where I looked for a Davidson family. Though it is possible there's one in a nearby township, I offer as one possibility for Kate's identity as that of daughter of Peter Davidison and first wife Margaret (wife in 1880 is Elsie). P and M born Scotland. Children all born Ohio. In 1860: Peter is 50, Margaret 48 Children: John - 22, Sarah - 20, Catharine 15 - a seamstress and called Kate in 1880, William -13, James -10. I do not find any Davidsons as relatives to my husband's lines. However, it's possible there's a connection in Scotland. Many Scots came to this area from Aberdeenshire. Photo attached for the benefit of Davidson researchers.

Could you please give us more information on Elizabeth Hack Davidson. Where she was living in 1930, who she was living with, how old was she in 1930, & what state was she born in. That would help us to do more research on her.

Hi jet, i do not have any info on the John Davidson with wife Susan Askins, 2nd wife Susanna Jackson and Child Edward, born 1779. I do have info on John Davidson of Tinkling Springs, VA. My John Davidson and wife Jane with their children migrated first to Augusta County, Virginia, now Rockbridge County. The first land surveyed for John was in Beverly Manor in May of 1738 on Christian Creek. By June 5, 1739 he had bought 785 acres. On February 18, 1747 he sold 485 acres of the Beverly Manor land and 350 acres of land on Buffalo Creek that runs into the upper portion of James River. Jane had also signed these land sales when they took place. Elizabeth and her sister Margaret and her brother John were all born while living there in Virginia. Elizabeth had been baptized April 19, 1741 by Rev. John Craig at Tinkling Spring. She was the first of John and Jane's children to be born on American soil. E-mail me direct for more info if needed.

Jet, Saw your post. There is most definately a John Davison in Kentucky during the years 1808 to 1818. He took a mortgage on a farm, equipment, stock and slaves from my 4th grgrandfather, Thomas Davison of Barren County. The mortgage was released about 10 years later. The mortgage recites that John was a resident of Hardin County, but the counties were in a big state of flux between 1780 and 1820. Hardin in 1808 comprised 4 or 5 counties of today. I also have record of Virginia land grants to a John Davison. This John was also in the company of a Hannah, a Lane or Jane, and a woman name Jane Davison who married Charles Lewis around 1816 in Glasgow, and then moved to Tennessee. What became of this John I do not know, but Breckenridge County (formerly a part of Hardin) shows Davisons through 1850. My Thomas lived in Barren County, but was very strict about spelling his name without the second "d" although every census taker put it in. We have the 12 marker DNA on this line, and are awaiting the broader scope. I would love to connect this John with anyone. David P.
