I just found this on the net. There were three Davidsons that I have were deported. William,Owen & this now this James that I just found. 3, 500 prisoners were taken at the Battle of Culloden in 1746; including many men, women and children who were regarded as supporters of the Jacobite cause even though they had taken no part in the actual fighting. Some of these prisoners were put on seven transport ships bound for London. When they reached Tilbury, the prisoners remained on board the ships, which were anchored in the river. They were guarded by soldiers from the fort. The conditions on the ships were appalling for both the prisoners and their guards. By 11th August 1746, 268 prisoners had been brought into the fort; 45 of these died in the first month. Typhus had broken out on the ships and so all of the prisoners were brought into the fort by December 1746 bringing the total number of prisoners held at Tilbury to 303. The prisoners were kept in the powder magazines. They were forced to draw lots when it was decided that 1 in every 20 should stand trial for their life. Those not selected to face trial and t! he near-certainty of execution remained at the fort until their fate was decided; a few remained until 1750. Most of those who survived were transported. A few were released, including James Davidson, age 14 a 'very wicked boy' Has anyone ever made any legidament connection to any of these men.

There is no issue more contentious that the relationship between the family of Maj. John Davidson of Rural Hill and Gen. William Lee Davidson of Iredell. The problem is that 19th and early 20th century histories suggest they were cousins. Those histories seem to be based on family letters that date from a time and culture when cousin meant any sort of relationship. Maj. John and Gen. WLD defintiely had several family relationships based on Gen WLD's wife Mary Brevard. The issue is "Was there a Davidson relationship?" I have not found one definitive piece of evidence in years of looking that Robert Davidson was related to John and George Davidson of Iredell county, although it seems very likely. Correspondingly, no paper trail evidence also is known that shows that Samuel Davidson of Beverly Manor and father of Col. Wm. Davidson of Buncombe County was related to John Davidson of Beverly Manor and father of Major Wm. Davidson of Swannanoa and uncle of Gen. William Lee Davidson. However, DNA testing has proven they are related. We suspect they were brothers but we have no formal evidence. I, and several other Davidson family researchers, consider that the DNA testing a Robert Davidson descendant is one of the most important tasks for the Davidson DNA project because it will clear up, once and for all, one of the major controversies in Davidson family genealogy. On a side note, I believe George, John, and Samuel to have been brothers because the first known son of each of them is named George. By Scot naming tradition, this would indicate that their father was named George. Based on the suspected marriage dates for each of these three, John would be the oldest. We normally see his birth date reported as about 1709. That is actually the latest likely date for his birth. I suspect that "about 1700" would be more reasonable given that his first son was born in 1728. Robert Davidson's first and only son was named John. This would indicate that his father was likely named John. Based on the birth date of his son John in 1735, Robert was likely born 1705-1710. I welcome comments and corrections. I would also welcome a male Davidson descendant of Maj. John Davidson to agree to a DNA test.

Elizabeth was born about 1740, likely in Antrim, Ireland. She died 2 Nov 1781 in Charleston during the Revolution. Her other two children, Andrew's brothers, were also killed in the Revolution. Her parents have been said to have been a Cyrus Hutchinson who was born in Antrim about 1690 and died in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC. His wife is said to have been a Margaret Lisle. She is said to have been a descendant of Judge John Lisle who was one of the judges who sentenced King Charles I of England to be executed. I cannot prove this family but it has been reported extensively. See: http://www.johnlisle.org/stedman/tng/getperson.php?personID=I51861&tree=stedman_main for more details.

Thomas), Howell A., James, and Abram (March 6, 1830 last settlement to Sarah Davidson, Dickson County, TN). I have seen several trees listing the sons, but none with details related to Delila Davidson Thomas. It is somewhat curious as she is somewhat easy to locate on record. In 1840 John Thomas is living but a few households away from Howell Davidson. Delila is then found on 1850 and 1860 Dickson County census along with her children (Howell Calvin, Eliza, James D., Minor B., and Christopher). While hoping to obtain further information on Delila, I am primarily interested in the Thomas line as this is that of my father. I have a good deal of information on Delila and her children that I am willing to share if anyone is interested in including the female descendant of this line. My father's line is as follows: The Rev. Howell Calvin Thomas, 1838, married 1st Thursa Garton, 2nd Margaret Bryant; Howell and and Thursa were parents of John Washington Thomas married Elizabeth Zilphia White; John and Elizabeth were the parents of McClain Thomas; McClain Thomas married Nelle Weems who were parents to my father, Thomas McClain Thomas.

The guy that I "found" at the library in Richmond, VA (who "traces back" to your Robert Davidson) was a "male Davidson," and he was even a part-time professional/paid genealogist. It is disappointing that he did not take my advice and join the DNA test (but not everyone is willing to spend the $190 for the 37 marker test...despite having to pay that only "once in a lifetime"....and despite the "proof" that can only be obtained, in many cases (like this one, apparently) from such a test). I doubt that there is any documentation left to be read, and yet no one is POSITIVE that "your" Robert Davidson was from the same overall family as General William Lee Davidson.

Author: tunnelm1 Surnames: Davidson, Davison, Davisson, Oglesby, Thornhill, Hughes, McCauley, Neighbours Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.davidson/4809/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Per DNA testing, it is now known that the Josiah Davidson (born about 1802) who married Susannah "Suky" Hughes (born about 1804; she was out of Prince Edward Co., VA) was a member of "DNA Family 7" on the Davidson/Davison/Davisson DNA website at www.davidsongenes.org. In the early-1800s, there were two unrelated Davidson/Davison families in Buckingham Co., VA, and each of these two families have DNA donors in the testing project. One of these two unrelated families is represented by the above-referenced Family 7, and the other family is represented by Family 10 (my Davidson family). Family 7 has been traced back to PA in the mid-1700s, and quite a few members of that family were in the Bedford/Campbell Co., VA area by at least the 1770s. Some members of this family "found their way" to Buckingham Co., VA (at least one of them came to Buckingham after having been in GA in the late-1700s), and a Stephen Davison from this family married a Lucy Neighbours in Buckingham or Prince Edward Co., VA around 1808, as I recall. The 1820 Buckingham census showed this Stephen Davison (as well as an older Stephen Davidson who was a member of my Family 10), as well as what appears to have been a Henry Davidson and a Joseph Davidson who were apparently also part of Family 7. There had also been a John Davidson on the 1810 Buckingham census, and it now seems almost certain that he was also a member of Family 7 (he was a very close neighbor of Littleberry Hughes and John Hughes). He was PROBABLY the same John Davidson who obtained land in Buckingham in 1792, and I woul! d not be too surprised if he came to VA from GA. I believe that this John Davidson was the older of the two John Davidsons who appeared on the 1820 census in Wilson Co., TN (though there is no "hard proof" of that). Note: Per a Bible record, the father of the Josiah Davidson who married Suky Hughes was an older Josiah Davidson who married an Ann McCauley. The above DNA test results show that, unlike what some researchers have suspected in the past, the above Josiah Davidson was NOT out of the family of John Davison (died about 1754) of Prince Edward Co., VA (PECo) and who was married to Ann Sons/Soanes. That Davison family in PECo also has several DNA donors in the DNA testing project, and they are represented by "DNA Family 5." In addition, a descendant and excellent researcher of Family 5 states that the George Davison in that family, who some have claimed was the father of the above Josiah Davidson who married Suky Hughes, definitely had no child named Josiah. There had been an Alexander Davidson on the 1764 Buckingham tithe list (along with several known members of "DNA Family 10"). It strongly appears that Alexander Davidson was NOT part of Family 5, Family 7 or Family 10, so there were probably at least four unrelated Davidson/Davison families in the Buckingham/Prince Edward Co., VA area in the 1700s. Note: The Reverend Samuel Davidson of Campbell Co., VA and then Appomattox Co., VA (the Reverend died about 1861 and was married to Frances Oglesby), and who was the pastor of Red Oak Baptist Church for 40 years, was also a member of Family 7. Another Samuel Davidson out of Campbell Co., VA, who married Elizabeth Thornhill and who died in Appomattox Co., VA in 1848, however, was a son of the above Alexander Davidson. We really need a DNA donor who "traces back" to that Alexander Davidson (who died in Campbell Co,, VA around 1800). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
