I too have visited Stratford-Upon-Avon (http://www.stratford-upon-avon.co.uk/). Interestingly enough, my mother's family HAS been traced back to that area with descendants from Warwickshire. Beautiful area it is and the Warwick Castle is awsome (http://www.warwick-castle.co.uk/). It would be real funny if my research for my Davidson family actually ended up there as well.

Davidson. His dates are 1844-20 Aug 1930. He married Sarah Matilda Snodgrass in Belmont County, Ohio in 1870. I don't have his father's name, but his mother's maiden name may have been Burris. According to his obituary, he had 2 brothers still alive in 1930: Elmer (of Cambridge??) and Joseph (of Martins Ferry). John W. Davidson had 14 children; my husband's grandmother was the youngest. Does this seem to match up with your Elmer? Kathy kbsgen@yahoo.com

Hi list: On a recent ( August, 2001 ) trip to Eastern Oregon my wife and I discovered the burial site of SAMUEL KELSEY DAVISON ( b. circa 1831; d. 17 February, 1897 ). His grave ( although vandalized ), as well as that of his daughter-in-law, MELISSA COTTLE DAVISON are located in the Southwest corner of KEE'S CEMETERY, Weston, Oregon. It is a pioneer cemetery located about 2 miles from Weston in a wheat field above the town. It is now surrounded by a cyclone fence after years of vandelism. Proof of Samuel's and Melissa's burial sites are supplied by a chart of the cemetery made before the vandalism occurred. The cemetery location is T4N RSSE Sec. 28. It was established in 1875 and is one acre in size. Samuel married Rachel A. Wilson 13 Feb. 1859 in Page County, Iowa. Rachel is buried at Pioneer Cemetery, Hillsboro, Oregon ( d. 1919 ). Samuel Kelsy Davison's death date was established through Washington County, Oregon estate documents. Rachel, his wife, filed for an estate claim Jan. 31, 1911. She also filed to become the administratrix of the estate. Samuel had left no will. Samuel was the son of Wayne Davidson who was the sixth child of Samuel and Elizabeth Callahan Davidson. He was married to Dorcus Combs, and later, Nancy Brown. Wayne and Dorcus had children: Samuel Kelsey Davison m. Rachel Ann Wilson ( my 2xgreat grandparents ) Elizabeth Ann Davison m. John Nixon John Wayne Davison m. Deborah Sabastian, Amanda Dyke, Rozena Laub Carr William Davison m. Sarah Ann Davison Jeremiah ( Jerry ) Davison m. America Dyke Wayne ( Nick ) Davison m.

I certainly hope my Davidsons came from the area in England near Stratford on Avon. Truly a beautiful country of wonderful, warm, friendly folks. Rolling green hillsides and charming cottages with fluffy, white sheep grazing nearby. Also the field of standing stones and mound that is so much larger in scope than Stonehenge. You expect to see a Celt nearby- or even a Druid. You see folks walking on country lanes miles from nowhere and as an American who only goes if the car goes, I was amazed on where they were walking from and even where they were walking to. We took our 13 year old grandson (on vacation) who is so unimpressed by anything and he was so enthralled with the area and its people that he did not want to leave. ----- Original Message ----- From: <19ercharlie@interx.net> To: <DAVIDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 11:51 AM Subject: [DAVIDSON-L] Re: Davidson Ancestors > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FNR.2ACEB/2275.1 > > Message Board Post: > > No doubt Davidsons from Scotland were among the early 'first > footers'...

How can I get Cindys list ? What is on her list ? thanks MGLIL@AOL.com

You have some common names in my links to the Davidson name. My 3rd great grandmother was Nancy Ellen Davidson b. 1858 in IN probably in Franklin Co. Her father was Richard Davidson b.1814 in Greene Co., OH and he married Evaline Applegate b.1815 KY. Nancy married Peter in 1874 in Franklin Co. IN but on the Hunter line is a Lewis Edmundson and a Hunter married a Musser in Dearborn Co., IN. Wonder if there is a connection???? I do not know Richard Davidson's parents names but know they came from OH to IN when Richard was young. Would love to compare names and dates if you wish. Thanks for your time.
