In reference to the Alexander Davidson whose wife was Elizabeth: You might be on to something because their daughter was Elizabeth Steele Dickey who married John Dickey of Campbell County VA. They had two daughters Permelia and Elizabeth Steele Dickey who married Samuel Taylor. I believe Permelia married Samuels brother James Milton Taylor; I have no documentation. > From: tunnelm@verizon.net > To: davidson@rootsweb.com > Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:19:55 -0500 > Subject: Re: [DAVIDSON] William Davidson > > Philip, > > 1) James Davidson "I" of Big Mocassin Gap in VA is "DNA Family 13." > > 2) Samuel Davidson of Beverly Manor/Augusta Co., VA is "DNA Family 1" (he > was an apparent brother of "Import" John Davidson who married Jane, as well > as an apparent brother of the George Davidson who was the father of Rev.

Philip, 1) James Davidson "I" of Big Mocassin Gap in VA is "DNA Family 13." 2) Samuel Davidson of Beverly Manor/Augusta Co., VA is "DNA Family 1" (he was an apparent brother of "Import" John Davidson who married Jane, as well as an apparent brother of the George Davidson who was the father of Rev. War hero General William Lee Davidson). It appears that Colonel William Lee Davidson of Morgan Co., TN probably also came from "Family 1," as I understand it. 3) Alexander Davidson of Campbell Co., VA has no proven descendant in the DNA project at this time (but as stated before, he MIGHT have been part of "DNA Family 12"...maybe someday we will have one of his proven descendants take the DNA test). Note: The "primary clues" that suggest that Alexander Davidson MIGHT have been a member of "Family 12" are: 1) Alexander's son John left Campbell Co., VA and migrated to KY, and the donor with kit 63783 in "Family 12" traces back to a later (apparently) John Davidson in KY. 2) Alexander Davidson had at least two female descendants in VA, as I recall, with the given middle name of "Steel/Steele," and the John Davidson in KY to whom the donor with kit 63783 "traces back" had a son named Alexander Steel/Steele Davidson. We suspect that the wife of Alexander Davidson in Campbell Co., VA who was named Elizabeth had the maiden name of "Steel/Steele"....but no proof. No "connection" in America between the family of kit 63783 and the family of the other kit in "Family 12" (which traces back to an early Robert Davidson) has been found. As such, the "most recent common male Davidson ancestor" between these two DNA donors COULD have been on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean (but more research up in PA might reveal more information) Bill

As I have written so many times before, my father's line was James Sr from Big Mocassin Gap VA(Scott, Washington, Russell, Fincastle) Records can be found in all of those county records. James Sr'I, James Jr/II, Robert, Henry, Gideon, Kemp, Kyle, Philip. All from Scott County VA except I was born on Davidson land purchased by William Davidson(1746-1838) buried in Morgan Co TN. Samuel, William married to Anna Nickle, William C married to the Granddaughter of Alexander Davidsons of Campbell Co VA. Permelia Dickey married Samuel Taylor in 1816 before they moved to Roane Co TN around 1820. Alexander Davidson in Anderson County TN is in the 1850 Census but I always wondered where he came from. One of William and Anna Nickle's sons was Alexander, another was John and William. Good Scottish names and familiar names of this Family Group. William & Permelia had John Henry in 1847. John and Mary Rudder named their first son Samuel C. Keeping with tradition>? In 1983 I moved to Dallas, Dallas, TX. Looking in the phone book I found one John Leslie Davidson on Vanderbuilt Street in Dallas. He was a descendant of Col Wm Lee Davidson of Morgan Co TN. John passed last March at 102. He had a pix of Bunk Davidson in pensil. I do not know where his pix went as he promised them to me but died out of TX. John had no children but was the uncle of Judith Davidson Moyers of NYC and PBS. Wife of Bill Moyers. This is suppose to be a different Family. Colonel Wm Davidson, Samuel born in VA, William married Anna Nickle, William C and Permelia Taylor, Rev John Henry, Viola Davidson Silva, Dora Silva Davidson, Philip R Davidson 1946. I am the only surviving son with 3 sons but only one grandson! I hope that the Lord keeps his promise and that somewhere out there is another heir! I believe but have no proof that my James and William were brothers and their father was Samuel of Beverly Manor. That is my working Hypothesis bases on 40 yeears of research. There are no family records. Just a letter from 1903 to John Henry from Rev. William R in KY The Colonel Wm Davison had 640 Acres all over NC, TN, VA, KY and who knows where. > From: tunnelm@verizon.net > To: davidson@rootsweb.com > Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:48:27 -0500 > Subject: Re: [DAVIDSON] William Davidson > > Philip, > > Per one or more of the various "Family 7" researchers, James Davison, Senior > was married to a Sarah McCune.

I have added comments and info in red--hope it shows up that way.  I descend from William and Mary Jane, so I am very certain about their info.

Philip, Per one or more of the various "Family 7" researchers, James Davison, Senior was married to a Sarah McCune. I do not know, however, if that has been "proven beyond a shadow of a doubt." Dennis Davidson of "Family 7" could probably answer that (as you may know, Dennis is also our current "update person" for the Davidson/Davison/Davisson DNA website at www.davidsongenes.org). I do not believe that the Alexander Davidson in Campbell Co., VA was a member of "Family 7," nor a member of my "Family 10." Based on a few clues, Alexander MIGHT have been a member of "Family 12," but we certainly have no proof of that (the DNA donor for kit 63783 in "Family 12" COULD be one of his descendants). Alexander was in the Albemarle/Buckingham Co., VA area in the 1750s and 1760s, as were some members of my "Family 10," but my family had been in Goochland and Cumberland Co., VA before that....and I have no proof of where Alexander Davidson was before he appeared in Albemarle/Buckingham (but he MIGHT have come into VA from PA, especially IF he was TRULY a member of "Family 12"....since the other donor in "Family 12" is out of an early Robert Davidson who came into VA from PA...after arriving in this country from Ireland). I don't recall if I ever saw any information on the Alexander Davidson who was in Anderson County....please remind me, is that in TN? The Alexander Davidson in Bedford/Campbell Co., VA had sons who were named: 1) John Davidson (moved to KY....COULD be the line of kit 63783 referenced above....but again, no proof), 2) Samuel Davidson (died in Appomattox Co., VA in 1848; he should not be confused with the unrelated Reverend Samuel Davidson out of "Family 7" who died in Appomattox Co., VA in 1861) and 3) Alexander Davidson, Junior (seems to have "disappeared" from the Campbell Co., VA area in the 1820s...he was married at least twice). Best regards, Bill

Bill, Do you know to whom the James Senior in SWVA was married? As you know James and William was a popular name. There was an Alexander Davidson in Campbell County, VA whose daughter, Susannah, married John Dickey. Samuel Davidson born in VA 1772 moved to Anderson County, TN in 1830/40. He is in the 1850 Census. He married Elizabeth Russell in Knox County in 1835. I have not death date which should be after 1850 There was an Alexander Davidson in Anderson County in 1850. Was he related to Alexander Davidson from Campbell County?

Hi Bill, So do you think that kit number 78574 in family 4 should be in family 7? These are comments from Family 4 DNA page and what I was using. General Comments: Believe David's wife's name was Elizabeth (possibly Cochran but unproven). Believe she was his second wife as son Thomas seems to have been born before that marriage. David and Elizabeth show up in Washington Co., Ky. in the late 1790s. Then in Breckinridge County in 1800 and 1810. Totally lose them after 1810. Their children were: Thomas (maybe Thomas Jefferson), b. 1775 Philemon, b. 1785 in "Western Pennsylvania, married Catherine Clarke William M., b. 1787, married Mary Celia Hardin Mary (also seen as Polly), b. 1791, married John Miller Nancy, b. 1794, married Bartlett Angel Basham, III Crable, b. 1796, married Sophia Unknown Rebecca, b. 1799, married Hiram Miller Searching all lines backwards and forwards.

Laroice, The David Davidson/Davison who married Elizabeth Cochran/Cockrane/Cockran in Bedford Co., VA in 1779 was almost certainly a member of "Family 7....not "Family 4." Your David Davison and his wife Elizabeth UNKNOWN had their son Philemon Davison in PA around 1785, and I just do not see any "connection" between them and the family in Bedford Co., VA (other than the similar names and the fact that both families came from PA....which probably led to this confusion). The David Davison in Bedford Co., VA had an apparent brother who was named James Davison, Junior, and James "Junior" married Elizabeth's sister named Jane/Janet Cochran....also in Bedford Co., VA, and also in 1779 (and James "Junior" apparently moved to GA for a while, before returning to VA). The father of this David Davison and James Davison, Junior was an older James Davison, Senior who came to VA from PA (he provided surety for both of his son's weddings to the Cockrane sisters). Another son of this James Davison, Senior was named Samuel Davison, and he eventually moved to TN and then to Indiana, as I recall. Just like "Family 4," we now have quite a few DNA donors in "Family 7." Note: There were at least THREE unrelated Davidson/Davison families in the Bedford/Campbell Co., VA area in the late-1700s (including a branch of my "Family 10"), so one has to be careful not to incorrectly "intermix" the various families with that surname in that area of VA. The same is true for the Grainger Co., TN area, where the above-referenced Samuel Davison lived for a while (ditto a branch of my "Family 10"). It does not APPEAR to me, however, that your family was in either of those two areas. Comments/questions? Best regards, Bill Davidson

It would make sense to me that MY William Davidson married Celia in 1810 in Ky., because his 1st son James was born in 1811 in Ky. Wondering if anyone has DNA proof or trace back to this marriage. FOR: Amy Windsor Amy, I don't have you e-mail so will ask you here and hope you see it. Question: Did you have any luck getting a male member of your family DNA tested? It would sure confirm a lot for a lot of people.

This is Crazy I know but what if: I found a William Davidson born 1787, son of Thomas Davidson (see below) He did not have anyone married to him so I married him to Celia Hardin in Ky in 1810. Also see George W. Davidson at bottom of page. This could be Carroll Davison's George. Laroice Descendants of David Davisson ? Generation No. 1 1. DAVID1 DAVISSON was born Abt. 1748 in Va. He married ELIZABETH COCHRAN. She was born 1755. Child of DAVID DAVISSON and ELIZABETH COCHRAN is: 2. i. THOMAS2 DAVIDSON, b. 1775, Va. ? Generation No. 2 2. THOMAS2 DAVIDSON (DAVID1 DAVISSON) was born 1775 in Va. Children of THOMAS DAVIDSON are: i. PHILEMON3 DAVIDSON, b. 1785; m. CATHERINE CLARKE. 3. ii. WILLIAM DAVIDSON, b. 1787. ( I married this William to Celia Hardin) iii. MARY POLLY DAVIDSON, b. 1791; m. JOHN MILLER. iv. NANCY DAVIDSON, b. 1794; m. BARTLETT ANGEL BASHAM III. 4. v. CRABLE DAVIDSON, b. 1796, Ky. vi. REBECCA DAVIDSON, b. 1799; m. HIRAM MILLER. ? Generation No. 3 3. WILLIAM3 DAVIDSON (THOMAS2, DAVID1 DAVISSON) was born 1787. He married CELIA HARDIN 03 Jun 1809. Children of WILLIAM DAVIDSON and CELIA HARDIN are: i. JAMES4 DAVIDSON, b. 1811. ii. ROBERT DAVIDSON, b. 1817. iii. HANNAH DAVIDSON, b. 1825. ? 4. CRABLE3 DAVIDSON (THOMAS2, DAVID1 DAVISSON) was born 1796 in Ky. He married SOPHIA ?. She was born 1792 in Ky. Notes for CRABLE DAVIDSON: In 1850 Crable had 4 Children living with him Elizah, Jackson, Lucunda and Anselow. BUT: In 1840 Crable had 2 males age 15 but less than 20 living with them. One was Elizah and I submit the other one was William Davidson, born 1823 who is living next door to Crable in 1850. Note also that Thomas Davidson, Crable's Father is living with his son William which would make sense because Crable still had 4 children at home.Also in 1840 Crable had 1 Female age 80 but less than 90, his Mother? living with him. But where was Thomas, his Father in 1840? Children of CRABLE DAVIDSON and SOPHIA ? are: 5. i. WILLIAM4 DAVIDSON, b. 1823, Breckenridge, Ky. ii. ELIZAH DAVIDSON, b. 1827, Ky. iii. JACKSON DAVIDSON, b. 1828, Ky. iv. LUCUNDA DAVIDSON, b. 1831, Ky. v. ANSELOW DAVIDSON, b. 1833, Ky. ? Generation No. 4 5.

ANDERSON5 DAVIDSON, b. 1849. ii. CASSY DAVIDSON, b. 1851. iii. SOPHIA DAVIDSON, b. 1852. iv. WILLIAM PHILO DAVIDSON, b. 1855. v. JOSEPH DAVIDSON. vi. FLORENCE DAVIDSON. vii. LESLIE DAVIDSON. viii. ALTHEA DAVIDSON. ix. SARAH DAVIDSON, b. 1860. x. MARY MOLLIE DAVIDSON, b. 1865. xi. GEORGE W DAVIDSON.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: sennachie Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.davidson/4653.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Good morning, all! Pat (Davidson) James sent out a query asking how he (she?) could receive the award-winning newsletter (he modestly asserts) published by the Clan Davidson Society USA Inc. Very simple... a membership to the CDS-USA brings the newsletter in one of two optional formats to your door or email box twice a year. The newsletter, entitled The Sporran, has from 30 to 40 pages (or more, sometimes) of articles about Clan Davidson, its membership or items of interest to those with roots in Scotland. Although not exclusively dedicated to the genealogical community, it does contain articles of interest to the genealogist and publishes inquiries. CDS-USA recently appointed John Lisle as its Corresponding Genealogist. The Sporran is distributed as a B&W commercially printed edition or as a full color electronic publication. What is the CDS-USA you ask? CDS-USA is a charitable and educational organization dedicated to maintaining the knowledge and traditions of the Great Scottish Highland Clan Davidson and to pass this knowledge down to our children and those who follow. We have been in existence for 30 years and just recently incorporated in the State of North Carolina. We have members (either individuals or families) in over 400 residences scattered across the entire USA. We sponsor a tent at over 70 Scottish Highland Games providing the membership an opportunity to gather at selected locations in virtually every State in the nation. We maintain close and collegial ties with our sister Clan Davidson organizations in UK, Australia and New Zealand, and with our Clan Chief who resides in New Zealand. Membership in CDS-USA is inexpensive, only $20 per year for either individuals or families residing at the same address. Lifetime memberships are available. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in Clan Davidson and in its perpetuation. To find out more information about CDS-USA check out our website at [www.clandavidsonusa.com]. This site will soon be under construction to update it and bring it up to the standards of the 21st century. If you'd like a free electronic issue of the latest issue of The Sporran, please an email to me at [sennachie@earthlink.net]. Yours, Aye! Dave Chagnon Sennachie & Membership Registrar Clan Davidson Society (USA) PS "Sennachie" is the Scottish Gaelic word for "storyteller", a much more descriptive and evocative term than "newsletter editor"!
