I have a James Davidson that according to the 1850 Spartanburg County Census, page 177, was born around 1819 and his wife was Sarah, born around 1818 with sons Hazel (my great-great-great- grandfather), b. `1838 m. Mary Elizabeth "Granny Polly" Scruggs, b. 1837. William b. `1841 Henry b. `1844 Alfred b. `1847 I didn't get any further yet. They may have more children that I don't have yet. Is this your James?

This may or may not help you. I am the Gr-Gr-Gr-granddaughter of Purity Davidson who was born in 1800 in NC and married Dean Rogers who was born 1786 in NH and married in Rutherford Co., TN. Their daughter Susanna Mariah Rogers b 1835 in Rutherford Co., TN is my Gr-Gr-grandmother who married Wm. Lassiter on 10 July 1852 in Rutherford Co., TN. He was b 1830 at Rutherford Co., TN, the son of Alexander Lassiter and Isabella Higgenbotham and he died 29 May 1881 in Barry Co., MO and was buried in the Hilton Cemetery at Jenkins, Barry Co., MO. The first child, a daughter named Purity Isabella Lassiter was born 10 May 1853 in Barry Co., MO. She was the sister of my gr-gr-grandmother Sarah Clemantine Lassiter. Purity Isabella Lassiter married James Thomas Hemphill 16 Oct. 1868 in Stone Co., MO. He was born in McMinn Co., TN. Purity Isabella died 14 Jan 1926 in Rogers Co., OK and James T. Hemphill died 3 April 1920 at Rogers Co., OK. They are both buried in the Snider Cemetery, at Rogers Co., OK. This is a far jump from PA but the way families intermarried it might be a possibility. Also I was told by my father that we were related to the Shaffers. How I do not know. I was just given a long list of surnames (orally) and nothing written. Hope this helps. Ruth

I'm a Beaver County Davidson, South Side, descended from Ebenezer Davidson b 1809, who was either the son or nephew of an Adam Davidson, born in Ireland. My ancestors were mainly in Hopewell and Independence Twp, and Findley Twp, Allegheny Cty.

Oh do I wish some of these were mine! But no such luck... Have you checked the pension records? Maybe they can provide additional information... Freda

I am trying to find out about 5 Davidson brothers that fought in the War of 1812 and were given land in Ohio in return for their military service. I am a descenant through Joseph Davidson who was married to Della Hite who were the parents of my grandmother Maudell R. Davidson of Mentone, Indiana. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I doubt there is any relationship to my line. My great-grandfather was Thomas Davidson born March 13, 1828 in the town (village) of Maghareagh, County Antrim (Northern Ireland today). He spent his youth and early manhood in Scotland, emigrated to the US ad lived for several years in the states of New York and New Jersey (according to his obituary). In 1854 he married Catherine Walker. He died March 20, 1908 in the town of Albany, Pepin County, Wisconsin.

I decided to enter the newest search for the Davidson Brothers who fought in the Revolution. I haven't written for a while and maybe someone new is on our list who will connect to my clan. My ggggrandfather was John Davidson. According to his pension records, he was born about 1761 and lived on the Schuylkill River, near Philadelphia. He stated that he moved with his family to South Carolina before the Revolution. At 16 he enlisted as a private at Union District, SC. He fought in numerous battles and was wounded at the Battle of Cowpens. He moved to Georgia after the Revolution and applied for a pension when he was 74 years old. He died in Jasper County, Georgia 1/15/1856 at the age of 95. I have a LaGrange, Georgia 1884 newspaper article about one of John's sons, David Davidson. The article substantiates the above, stating that David's father was John Davidson -- an American Revolutionary Soldier. It told about David's father receiving several saber cuts on his head and hand at the Battle of Cowpens. In addition, it says that David had "four uncles who likewise fought the British". I do not know their names. I believe the father of the above John Davidson was, also, named John. For my sanity, I call him John Davidson, Sr. John Sr and his wife, Tabitha, are the earliest of my known Davidson ancestors. John, Sr. is reported to have been born about 1728 and died 1801. Tabitha died about 1812. Tabitha and John Davidson, Sr. had eight children. They were: James (no information on him) Jean married James Park Joseph married Mary Park John (RS) married -- wife unknown Elizabeth married John Leeper Mary married Gilbert Shaw (Gilbert was an RS and a witness to John's pension) Samuel married Elizabeth Mayes William married Elizabeth Mayes (same name cousin to Samuel's wife.) I will give the names of my ggggrandfather John's (RS) six children -- in case someone finds a name connection. They were: Mary (married Samuel Smith) Robert (married Elizabeth Mitchell) Margaret (married Drury S. Patterson) Jane (married Moses Chafin) David (married Susan Caroline - called Carrie - last name unknown) John Davidson (married Elizabeth P. McKee) If anyone has additional information, please contact me. Thanks, Anna Gayle DAVIDSON McClure

Hello Jean, If you are looking for the William Davidson, born in Mennemore, Ireland, who married Mary Alexander there, had 7 children, immigrated in 1728 to America, lived first in Woburn, MA, about 17 years, then settled in Tewksbury, MA. Mary died in Woburn, then he married Margaret McCartney, had 4 children in America; I have his family history. Send me your e-mail address and I'll send you the history as an attachment.

Jean, >From Biographical Sketches I have read, there are reports of "seven " brothers who came over from Scotland by way of Ireland. My line goes back to a William that was born 25 Dec. 1725. He, I assume with his family, settled in Bucks Co., PA. He married a Sarah Mary Fleming and had 5 known children Does any of the above fit into your search ?? I think there is a confusion with duplication of names, also it seems Davisons and Davidsons are overlapping in facts. Any corrections or information is much appreciated. Lois S.W.

When? Barbara DAVIDSON Norkus

I'm searching for information on William Davidson. Had one know daughter - Maria Sarah ANy information would be great!

I have a relative from Davenport, OK named Felix Davidsion. He was my grandmother's brother. Could yours be his descendants? My email: kstotts@ivillage.com

Maybe some of us can find our Davidson ancestors listed in these files. Good luck to all!

While others are asking where their family came from. I am trying to find information on Wm. that came from Menemore, Ireland and settled in Woburn and Tewksbury MA. What I understand his brother or brothers also came when he and his family came in 1728. Wondering if anyone has any information on any of this family as to how they got to America and of their family in Ireland. Thank you. Jean

Thanks George If I find something I will post it..

Hi Folks, Now seems to be a good time to dive in and post what little I know. Am looking for any info on John Davidson ca 1770- He married Catherine (?). Known children are Simeon b 1804, Peter, Benjamin, and possibly Elizabeth. A bio on Simeon states that John's family was in America prior to the Revolution, possibly in the NJ area. John and catherine's children were born in the Lodi, Seneca Co area of NY. Any help would be much appreciated! Sandy

Hi, Keep seeing the 3 brothers from Scotland, 1700s, but my ggrandfather and a brother/cousin came over around 1870. Anyone else have male relative that came over from Glasgow about that time? I believe they were both pretty young ... 17-20 years old. Barbara DAVIDSON Norkus
