Yes, you should get his military records, which will show not only information about him -- and where he collected a pension, if any, but also the pension applications show such things as names of his parents, wife, children, dates of their birth, etc., so you can tell for sure whether this Zack is "your Zack". I've filled out quite a few (some years back) of these requests for military records, and I got them from one of the (9, I think) National Archives centers. Someplace online you should be able to get the forms. Try "Cindy's List" -- it has nearly every resource and link imaginable. Freda J Zimmerman Griffin (my grandmother was a Davidson from Wisconsin)

Mary, Lately, it seems that our Davidson family members are carefully including the states, as well as the counties and/or towns, in their queries. It certainly helps me to see the areas and the dates that are being researched. Thank you. I, also, want to take the time to thank "each and every" for the help so many of you have given me -- either known or unknown. I chose to write this note to you, Mary, because of the time and effort you continue to put into our research. Anna Gayle DAVIDSON McClure

He was a friend of the Withrow family and they were neighbors in West Caln Twp. In his will he states that his sister was Rebecca Withrow. I do not have the names of any children from William and Janet. William's second wife, Elizabeth Smith Davidson, was mentioned in his will. She had children from her first marriage who were named in the will as step-children. William Withrow and John Withrow were also named. William Davidson was on the tax rolls until his death in 1811. He was a member of the Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church and was probably buried there. I have no prof that Alexander and William were brothers but they had connections through the Withrow family. If anyone has information about children from his first marriage with Janet,or if you know who his parents were, please share it with the list. PHINEAS DAVIDSON- was taxed in West Caln Twp. from 1754 - 1765. ( He would have been born before 1734.) In 1763 William Bennett of West Caln Twp. borrowed money for a mortgage from Thomas Woodward. To secure the loan he granted to Woodward a tract of land in West Caln bounded by land of George Campbell, John Robertson, land late of John Hunt now of William Davidson, and land late of widow Davidson now of Phineas Davidson. ( William and Phineas were neighbors.) Could not find a deed for Phineas.He held land by lease. In 1765 he was taxed for 100 acres 2 horses and 2 cattle. William Davidson was taxed for 100 acres, 1 horse, 2 cows, 3 sheep. Alexander Davidson was taxed for 200 acres, 2 horses, 3 cattle, and 15 sheep. Phineas was not on the 1768 tax list or any after that so he must have moved West or died. Could these three have been brothers? Could John and Margaret have been the parents of all three of them? If anyone has any information about them please share it. Joan

Mary, I will write the information about the Chester Co. Davidsons as I get it organized. First I will start with Alexander. You had a will of Robert Withrow that mentions Alexander Davidson as his Son-in-law. Alexander was first taxed in Chester Co. in 1756. (They were not taxed until age 21 so he was probably born before 1735.) Deed in 1766- Alexander bought 215 acres in West Caln Twp. Chester Co. form his parents John and Margaret Davidson. The land was a Patent from Thomas and Richard Penn to John Davidson in 1749. Alexander was taxed on that land until 1783. He had some debt problems and the land was sold by the sheriff in 1786 and bought by the county commissioners. He was not on the tax rolls after that. He probably moved on but I do not know where.
