Therefore, Wm must have been from the same family as James and possibly a brother to James II? The Colonel purchased 640 Acres from Annias? McCoy in 1788. The land was in Green County NC at the time but you would know it as Oak Ridge, Anderson county, TN today! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

There is a "new" program coming called newfamilysearch. I have been working on the "Beta" site for over a year. There is a problem, if I enter or change data on an individual such as putting an H as the middle inital for James Davidson, it can change my entire pedigree including all of the generations above. The same for adding a wife, Margaret Goldman or Margaret Dyer. Some of our cousins have entered both. I think this is where we need to look at our data and determine if it was copied from some well-meaning researcher or someone antious to become DAR? Whatever reason it makes a big difference. I am fortunate to have 3 Davidson lines. James I of VA is my direct, Colonel Wm Lee of VA/NC/TN is the second and Alexander of Campbell County, VA is the third so far! I saw a document that stated that James and William obtained their 640 acres in 1788. I don't know about James but it is true that one William Davidson bought 640 acres North of the Clinch but did not take possession until 1802? I find no records between 1788 and 1802. I believe the Colonel was busy in Buncombe County, NC until @ 1795 when the Davidsons Vances and Alexanders moved to Knox Co TN from Asheville. Morgan Davidson from Morgan County TN gave me a copy of his notes. Several entries gave the Colonel having been born in VA/Scotland. Also that Elizabeth was his wife and they had Samuel, Joseph JAMES, Mosias Jones, Teliatha/Tabitha who married Garret Hall, William Jr and possibly others. They also state that he was the son of Samuel, John and William. Now these are direct descendants of the Colonel! My best guess is Samuel was the father of the Colonel, George is the father of the General and John is the father of the Major. Here is the Dead End? Does anybody know?!! Could the Colonel be a brother to James I or James II? The Colonel was supposedly born in 1746. Samuel was with the Colonel in 1792 and there is a Samuel in Anderson County TN in 1850 living with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. William born in NC in 1792 is married to ANNA Nickle. Her son John was spelled Nichols. Their mother Rachel Haslet Nickle was living with John and Lodemy Oliver. Wm and Anna purchased the 640 acres in 1848 that had been sold to Samuel, James and Mosias Jones in 1802 listing them as heirs of the Colonel. Can anyone expound upon this information?

It is amazing how rapidly something is accepted unless there is a reaction to something wrong. As a descendent of the James I I stay eargerly awaiting a breakthrough and perhaps am too fast to see on in every post. Your good Davidson researcher, I think, is an old acquiantance and I appreciate her efforts also. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I don't know if this is your Walter, but a search for Indiana Death Records at www.google.com shows a Walter P. Davidson on p. 174 of the LaFollette & Nay Funeral Register, Volume #10 (1944-1952) I can't access the actual entry, but it looks like the book is available at the: Thorntown Public Library 124 N. Market St. Thorntown, IN 46071 Phone: (765) 436-7348 Try emailing them from this site: http://www.bccn.boone.in.us/tpl/ and ask them to look up Walter P. DAVIDSON on p. 174 and see if it gives the information that would confirm that it's your Walter. Birth year, wife's name, etc. If I come across anything else, I'll post it to this message board.

Walter's WW I Draft Registration dated Sept. 17, 1918 shows Blanch as his next-of-kin and the Indiana Marriage Index shows they were just married in August. WW I Draft Registration 1917-1918 Name: Walter Paul Davidson City: Thorntown County: Boone State: Indiana Birth Date: 6 Dec 1898 Race: White Occupation: Day Laborer Employer: Big 4 (Frank Arnold), Thorntown Nearest Relative: Blanch Davidson (Wife) Height: Medium Build: Medium Eyes: Blue Hair: Brow ..........................................

P. A. Original Record Located: County Clerk's O Book: C-18 OS Page: 232 .................................... Since Walter's WW I Draft Registration says he was born in Dec. 1898, I took a look at the 1900 census because that is the only census that gives the month/year of a person's birth......and sure enough, the Walter who's parents in 1910 are Whitkin/William DAVIDSON and wife Etta, was born in Dec. 1898 so this looks like a good possibility for Walter's parents. The father is indexed as William in the 1900 index so I suspect the index transcriber had a hard time reading the image in 1910 and came up with Whitkin as an alternate name--although I could read the image quite well and it was William. (By the way, the Walter who had parents Sam & Alice was born in July 1898 so that eliminates him.) In 1900 William and Etta are living in Cass County: Source Citation: Year: 1900 Census Place: Eel, Cass, Indiana Roll: T623 362; Page: 20B Name: William Davidson Home in 1900: Eel, Cass, Indiana Age: 29 Birth Date: Oct 1870 Birthplace: Illinois Father's Birthplace: Illinois Mother's Birthplace: Illinois Spouse's Name: Ettie Marriage Year: 1896 Marital Status: Married Years Married: 4 Residence : Logansport City, Cass, Indiana Living at 100 Barrett Street William Davidson, Head, 29, b.

IN, No occupation, Has own income. ......................................... In my opinion, even though Walter gave both his parent's birthplaces as Indiana in the 1920 and 1930 census, either he didn't know that his father was born in Illinois or someone else gave the census taker the information and "they" answered Indiana to keep things simple. These kinds of birthplace "mistakes" were often made in census records, depending on who answered the door and gave the information when the census taker came calling. I haven't found a death record for Walter yet. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: tunnelm1 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.davidson/2227.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am told by an excellent researcher that Joseph Davidson and Mary Edwards were NOT the parents of William "Billy" Davidson who married Sarah Sturgill. That is apparently an error that has been around for quite some time. Per this researcher, the only sons of Joseph and Mary were John and David Davidson (and neither son fathered any sons of their own). Joseph Davidson had three brothers who were named James "II," Daniel and William.....all sons of James Davidson "I." Also, despite what some people have claimed, there is NO proof whatsoever as to the father of James Davidson "I" at this time. The parents of William "Billy" Davidson have not been proven. The family that included the above Joseph, James, Daniel and William Davidson is represented by "Family 13" on the Davidson/Davison/Davisson DNA website at www.davidsongenes.org. I highly encourage you to take the DNA test yourself (37 markers recommended) to see if you match or don't match the existing male donors in Family 13 at this time. They all can trace their lines back to the above family of James Davidson "I." Your DNA might represent the last hope of determining the lineage of your Billy Davidson, once and for all.

(on the Indiana/Michigan border) I'm not sure that the DAVIDSON family in White County is Walter's because the father was born in Illinois and Walter says both his parents were born in Indiana so I'll have to dig a little further.
