I am unaware of any surviving Davidson males who I might suggest for DNA testing. What I know of Thomas Davidson is that there was a likely match in a Thomas Davidson who died 1815 in New Orleans. Some have tied this Thomas to Joseph and Elizabeth Davidson, a couple known of Dickson County. This is also likely as Joseph died after Thomas and his will does list a Sarah Davidson along with his male heirs. Sarah is found on the 1830 census in Dickson and her HH entry appears consistent with those children listed in the 1830 "final installment" of the estate of Thomas Davidson. I have been most successful in tracking Howell A. Davidson and his sister, Delila Davidson Thomas, over time on census. Both consistently report being born in TN. Sarah Davidson did live into her 80s and appears to have remained in Dickson County until her death. I have no insight as to her burial place. In 1840 Sarah Davidson is listed on the Dickson County census as neighbor to Howell Davidson and to John Thomas (Delila is noted in court records to be the wife of John W. Thomas). They are all still present in 1860. Howell Calvin Thomas, son of Delila and John Thomas, lived his life in Dickson County, primarily in District 4. His sister, Eliza, married Joshua G. Estes, also appears throughout her life in the county. Another son of Delila and John, James D. (believed James Davidson Thomas per some records located), appears to have perished sometime in the mid-1870s as his wife, Luranie Anderson, remarried after this. Son Minor B. Thomas perished in prison during the civil war. Son Christopher Thomas appears to have perished sometime in his youth as he is the youngest child in the 1850 Delila Thomas HH but is no longer present in 1860. I think there was one son older than Howell Thomas but I have not been successful in identifying who that might be. I do not find Sarah Davidson as head of HH in TN in 1820 and wonder if she were not living with family. I believe the suspected father of Joseph Davidson who some report as the father of Thomas was a John Davidson who was first of NC then VA. I suspect that there are some of these lines who have DNA tested from some of what I have read. I am behind the curve as what I knew of my father's family before his death was that his grandfather was John Washington Thomas married to Elizabeth Zilphia White, their birth years and locations in TN. His father, McClain, came to Ohio in the 1920s. When we visited family in TN it was that of his aunts and uncles and I was too small to have known or remember if the father of John W. was ever discussed. I never recall discussion of the Davidson family so I can not make necessary links other than via research.

My Davidson family was in Orange Co., NC and then some of them went to Rutherford Co., TN and Hickman Co., TN, and they eventually had a Howell Davidson in that family. My Davidson family is represented by "DNA Family 10" on the Davidson/Davison/Davisson DNA website at: www.davidsongenes.org. There was a Josiah Davidson who was in Dickson Co., TN on the 1820 and 1830 censuses, and he appears to have been part of "DNA Family 4." There were quite a few other Davidsons on the 1830 Dickson census, however, and the "expert" on "DNA Family 4" does not know who they "belonged to." I think I saw your Howell Davidson on the 1840 Dickson Co., TN census (correct)? If there are any living Davidson males from your family, I would highly encourage at least one of them to join the DNA testing project (via the website provided above).

Author: robingarland25 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.davidson/4807/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, I am looking to connect with researchers of Thomas and Sarah Davidson, parents of Jesse, Delila (wife of John W. 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.

I don't have alot of information, my Grandfather was born in Mexico, MO. in Oct. 1881, I do not know his parents names, although I do know that his Mother was a full blooded Cherokee, and his Father was white. I know that he had at least two Brothers, one was Joe (Joseph?)Davidson, and he used to ride the rails (on the sly ) alot, he was a hobo, I believe. The other brother was James Riley Davidson ( born in MO. between 1876 - 1879 )I looked at your pictures of James Riley, and I have a picture identicule to the studio picture of James Riley, only my picture is of my Grandfather Julius Clarence Davidson, wearing the same suit & hat sitting in the same wicker chair!!
