I finally bit the bullet!!! I installed the FreeFind search engine on my Davidson pages... It works great!! Just don't search for surname Davidson as you will get some 2000 web pages. Use lateral Surnames or given names. Indexing of the pages will occur each and every Monday to keep the pages current. Have fun!!! I did!! Mary B.

Linda... don't sweat it!!! It's just not worth it, especially when you are sick. The position I am going to take is to break up that family of John Davidson and Elizabeth Morrison until there is further proof. That is the safest thing to do. ... and nothing personal here between you and the mail list members. We are simply trying to get responses and substantiate any documentation. There is so much misinformation floating around. Southern families is what I am working on. There are so many loose ends. Sooo many Joseph's and Williams... (g) Please don't worry about this.... It will "someday" all come out in the wash. No need for you to unsub unless you feel you just have to. Keep in touch.... Get well soon!!! Mary B.

Hi Ruth, I do not have a Rogers in my Davidson line, but the Bryan/Enochs connection might prove interesting. Lets compare notes and see what we can come up with. I cannot find where Daniel Davidson and Mary Enochs paths crossed. I do know her uncle Gabriel Enochs went to Lincoln co., Tennn. and have wondered if that is where she met Daniel Davidson. He is supposed to be from Culpepper Co.,Va. but I have never been able to find him in a will or other documentation. Maby you should send me an E-mail at my E-mail address as this may turn out to be more on the Bryan/Enochs family than the Davidson. By the way, there are a lot of McClures in Knox county Indiana, as well as Sullivan county. That is a local name which goes back to pioneer days.

Posted on: Davidson Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Davidson/10487 Surname: Davidson ------------------------- Sandy, My great aunt Sarah Davidson, married Israel Benefiel and lived for a time in Miami Co., Indiana. I don't know why they were there. Only that they were from Sullivan Co., Indiana. Sarah was the oldest daughter of Daniel Davidson and Mary Enochs. Daniel born in Va. and Mary in Rowan Co., N.C. Miami County is not far from Fort Wayne which is in Allen Co. All of my Davidsons stayed in Sullivan Co. which is near Vincennes, for many years, and then started migrating to other places. My great grandfather was Thomas Enochs Davidson and he married Elizabeth Gobin and lived his entire life at Carlisle, Ind. in Sullivan Co. The pioneer who came to Sullivan County was his father, Daniel Davidson, born in Va. He and wife Mary Enochs are in the Jefferson county Ky records where they owned a farm on Floyds Fork which is a creek empting into the Salt River. About 1817 they sold out and came to Indiana. There is also a George Davidson who died in Jessamine County Ky about 1812. His children sold the land they recieved from their father about 1836 and were living at Carlisle when they made their deed to the new owner. There is a family connection but am not sure just how. Other family names are Hackett, Portwood and Holloway. Does any of this ring any bells? I sent you a lengthy message yesterday and it bounced. Hope you get this. By the way, in Miami County during the time frame of 1830's, we still had Indians roaming around and the White River which runs through that area was a large attraction I am sure. For trading and hunting as well as travel. Mary Pielemeier

He married Nancy Ann Chadwell Oct. 1853 and lived in Smithfield, Jefferson County, OH. They had five children. William A. b:July 8, 1854, Mary E. b: 1857, Anna b: 1859, Maggie b: January 3, 1864, John Logan b: November 21, 1866. Nancy Ann Chadwell died September 2, 1873.

Hi everybody, While everyone is trying to sort out the Davidson's, please don't forget there is a Daniel Davidson and wife Mary Enochs (she was from Rowan Co., N.C.) who bought land in Jefferson Co., Ky in 1810 and then sold it about 1818 and settled in Sullivan County Indiana. I know all about Mary Enochs Davidson's family but ONLY know that Daniel was born in Virginia about 1783. He died in Sullivan Co., In. 1863. Did anyone of these Davidson men you all are reporting on have a son Daniel???? By the way a George Davidson died in Jessamine County Ky about 1812. He left a large family who migrated to Indiana. In Indiana many of the Descendents of George Davidson went to Moultree Co.,Illinois, and then into Monroe Co., Mo. Will be glad to share what I have. Mary Enochs was the daughter of Thomas Enochs and Nancy Bryan from Rowan Co. N.C.

I am related to Ann Davidson who married William Rankin @1746 in Ireland. They were living in Fayette County, PA in 1770. Does this look familiar to anyone?

Chuck, According to an old family history, William was the son of Phineas who came from Scotland with 2 brothers. A researcher in Scotland could not find any men named Phineas Davidson on the ship records. He said it was not a name that was used in Scotland but that it was an American name. He suggested looking for an earlier generation that came to America. Phineas would have been born about 1733. so you can see his father could have come over before that. Anyway, it is hard to find proof. We have proof that William was born in 1757 from his tombstone. If you have any ideas about this I would be happy to hear them.

Bob, The William Davison will was also printed in the 1948 Harbaugh Genealogy of Davidson family, p. 434-435. One point that needs to be made, is that there is NO PROOF that this William Davison is the father of John and George Davison of Iredell County. Mr. Hand in his book acknowledges this fact. I do not believe it to be so, and this is based on an important cultural concept. The first born son is named after his father's father. The first known sons of both George and John Davison are named GEORGE. If you follow the succeeding generation of the family, you will see that this traditional naming convention is adhered to. Further, in January of 2000, I posted the following message that I found on GenForum. I have never been successful communicating with the author of this message: ______________________ Posted By: Heather Sherrill Davis (heather_s_davis@hotmail.com) Subject: Re: Katherine "Bonnie Kate" Sherrill Post Date: May 03, 1999 at 18:45:13 Message URL: http://www.genforum.com/sherrill/messages/324.html Forum: Sherrill Family Genealogy Forum Forum URL: http://www.genforum.com/sherrill/ I am following up on some of my Mother's research so please correct me as I am only going by what I have on my family tree chart. I would LOVE to get the research that you have on Mary Preston. I am the gggGranddaughter of George Davidson Sherrill. I always thought George was named after Mary's father and grandfather. I always heard that Samual Sherrill b. 10/01/1725 d. 6/22/1800 was married to Mary Jones Davidson b. 1731? d. 11/29/1794 daughter of Colonel George F. Davidson Jr. b. 1711 and Rachel Jones Davidson, daughter of Henry Jones and Elizabeth Preston Jones. _____________________________ The first two major families settling the Iredell area were the Sherrills and the Davidsons. This Samuel Sherrill did settle in Iredell based on study of the Sherrill family. Given that George Davison's son was Gen William Lee Davidson, would it not stand to reason that his father was a military person also. My research indicates that Gen. Davidson's mother was not the first wife of George Davidson. This is based on the George Davison Will which notes children that seem to be older than the estimated date of the marriage of George and the widow Mrs. Margaret (Ware) Sommerville, the mother of the general. john.
