Hi My line comes from Alexander ii's son Alexander iii through his son John and on down the line. If it will be possible I would like to swap info. Thank You Jerusha

For what it is worth, there is a James H. Davison b 3-8-1839, 1st son of Alexander Davison and Mary Ann Deskins. In one spot (copied from the Bible,) it says he married Rebecca Phillips on 10-30-1867. In another spot, it says he moved west to Iowa, and there was no further knowledge on the family. Not sure this fits with your family, but maybe for someone else.

I have info on a branch of descendents of Alexander Davidson of Scotland. His son Alexander had a son named James, who was the father of my gr-gr grandfather, Richard Davidson. Richard was born in Barren County, Ky (I think) and married Tracey Perry in Barren County. They moved to Pike County, MS and had 4 children, Felix, Sarah, Samuel Fry (my gr-grandfather) and Caroline. Tracey died and Richard married Isabella McKay in 1823--no children. They moved to Phillips County, AR around 1850 with Samuel and Caroline, and Felix's son, John G. Davidson (Felix and Sarah stayed in MS). Samuel married Matilda Hart (no children), then in 1889 he married Lillian Higgins (my gr-grandmother). Their children were Agnes, Claude and Ruth (my grandmother). Richard died in 1856 in Phillips County, AR. His son Samuel died in 1898 in Phillips County, AR. I have lots of details on Richard and family, including cemetery info, if anyone is interested. I would also like any information on James and his parents and grandparents if anyone has it.

Charles was born about 1873 - Helen in 1874- both lived in Sunderland , England the children of James Davidson, publican Any information, help or descendants would be appreciated. David Craik

Would there happen to be a James Alexander in this family of Davidsons? That is our connection. He married Mary "Polly" (or "Molly") Prather, and had at least one daughter, Frances Lee "Fannie". He must have passed on when Fannie was about fourteen years old. This all happened in Clay County, Missouri, in the 1850s. ANY help would be appreciated! Susan Strain <><

This is my line. John O. was my great-grandfather. His son, my grandfather, was Marvin Henry Davidson. Born 1905 died 1998. John O. was married to Dora Ellen Key(s). I have some information, about this family, but is stuff I received from others and I have not confirmed for myself. I inherited photograph (much to large to scan) of woman when granddad passed, he said it was his mother Dora, but it could be Elizabeth. Granddad's memory was confused on some points of clarification. ----- Original Message ----- From: "by way of "John B.

My Alexander Davidson(Davison) was born in Granger Co. Tenn to Samuel Davison and Mary Chance Davison. Alexander was married twice: 1) Mary Prewit in Franklin County, IN 3-31-1826; 2) Mary Ann Duskins(Deskin) in Franklin County, IN 8-11-1837. Their son, John A, born 3-21-1843, is my great-gr-father. Alexander died 8-24-1875 according to a letter copying the bible records. If this fits with your family, I would be happy to exchange what else I have. Most of it has already been submitted to Mary and she submitted it to Rootsweb.

Does anyone have any information on Simon DAVIDSON who was born in DE, served in War of 1812 and was married to Arcadia SHARP? He moved to Belmont Co. OH in 1830 and to Monroe Co. by 1834.. His youngest son, Avery, was born there in 1834. Does anyone have a list of his other children and/or the names of his parents? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Best Regards, Rosemary in ME

Rosemary, I just sent a posting with a short bio of Avery. I think Florence's William Riley Sharp Davidson is an older brother. john.

Florence, I believe that you will want to write the clerk of the Probate Court for Lawrence County. Lawrence County Courthouse Fifth and Park Avenue P.O. Box 208 Ironton, OH 45638 740-533-4355 Also, you might wish to explore the Lawrence Co. GenWeb page as there might be more info there: http://www.scioto.org/Lawrence/ I found this on the site which is from an 1880ish county history: "Avery Painter Davidson, farmer, is the youngest son of Simon and Arcadia (Sharp) Davidson. His father was born, reared and married in Delaware, and was a soldier in the war of 1812. In 1830, he came to Belmont County OH, and two years later removed to Monroe County, where our subject was born 12 Jul 1834. His wife died at the age of thirty-four years. He is still living in Gallia County OH, in his eighty-fourth year. On arriving at manhood, our subject settled in Noble County OH, where he followed farming till 1856, after which he spent three years in the West, when he returned to Noble County. He spent the following year in Kansas. and returning to Ohio purchased a farm in Gallia County. At the end of a year, he sold his farm and bought one in Lawrence County, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits till 1877, when he sold his farm and bought the one where he now resides, near Latham, in Pike County. He was married 18 May 1861 to Eveline, daughter of Jeptha and Lucy (Carn) Massie, of Lawrence County. They have had seven children: Lucy A., Sarah B., Mary E., Odelle, Laura and Stella M., and Elaseo, who died in infancy. Mr. Davidson belongs to Stafford Lodge, No. 300, F. & A. M., Stafford, Monroe County OH." I suspect that this is a brother to your William. Please note that he was born in Delaware and that the mother's maiden name was Sharp. You might wish to contact the Gallia Co. Probate Court for a will or estate administration papers for this Simon Davidson - assume he died in period 1880-1900. Here are some more tidbits: DAVIDSON, MRS. PERMELIA: IET JUL. 19, 1937 Mrs. Permelia Davidson, 84, died Sunday at her home in La Grange, following 60 years residence there. She was born in 1853 at Gallipolis. Mrs. Davidson leaves four sons and three daughters, George, Samuel, Frank and William Davidson, all of Ironton; Mrs. Nettie Pemberton of Ashland, Mrs. Mary Hoptry of Ironton. Two daughters preceded her in death a few years ago. Her husband, William R. S. Davidson, a Civil War Veteran preceded her in death 33 years ago. Burial will be in the La Gra <this is all there was!> john.

Hi Mary Anne, Your info. on William Davidson and Mary Fleming was helpful. Did the book have any info. on the son William (RS) who was at Valley Forge when 16 years old? Was he in the PA.11th reg.and did he end up in Erie PA. after the war? I have been looking for my Wm.Davidson ancestor who fought in the Rev.War. There were several Williams from PA.
