I'm working on the documentation to prove our Davidson/Davison line. I believe my DNA cousin (Steve) is from: Alexander (c1678-1739 PA)>John (c1711-c1755 Cumberland Co., PA) > William (c1750 Cumberland Co., PA-c1808)> Joseph Sr. (1781 VA-c1822 Wythe Co.,VA) >Joseph Jr. (c1821 Wythe Co., VA-c1899 King Co., TX) >Morgan Norris (c1874 Lee Co., VA-1950 Lubbock Co., TX) > Wilburn (living) I believe I'm from: Alexander (c1678-1739 PA)>Samuel (1713 - 1753 Lancaster Co., PA) > Moses (c1740 PA - 1822 Fayette Co., PA) >Samuel (c1774 PA- ?) > Moses (1804 PA - 1880 Wells Co., IN) >Samuel Harrison (1832 PA - 1908 Wells Co., IN) >William Elzaver (1858 Miami Co., IN - 1945 Allen Co., IN) > Mont Evert (1883 Wells Co., IN- 1954 Wells Co., IN) So, if the DNA % is correct that we share a common ancestor in 6-8 generations...it COULD be Alexander. We are waiting on the 67 marker upgrade, but with 37 markers right now I think this is the connection and am collecting documentation. I'd love to hear from anyone else who believes they belong in Alexander's lineage...or of course, anyone that has data on this lineage. I have census, birth/death records, Wills and several land documents so if you would like more info I would be happy to share as well. - sandymento@earthlink.net (apologies more specifics were not included with 1st msg)

There were several running around in the 1600-1700s in Virginia, etc. In fact for each of the lineages, it would be helpful to give the dates and places (as you know them) of the line. DNA family 8 is based on another Alexander. john Nashua, NH Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

She married Rev. Ralph McGhee and died when her only child, Willis, my ggg grandfather, was an infant. He was reared by his grandfather, James Davidson, who moved from Warrior Creek in Wilkes County to Brushy Fork in what is now Watauga County, as did Willis McGhee, who married into the Councill Family. Could my James Davidson, father of Ruth, be a member of this family? Best regards, Janelle W.

Don and Kay, You are quite right. I know a lot of us will get their political emotions in high dungeon this year; I know I will... But this list is not a place for either political ads or jokes. And it is my task to slap wrists. If everyone who objects writes to the list complaining, then the number of off-topic messages just increases. I have no choice but to take action if this discussion continues. You can only report about a political campaign on this list if a candidate is a Davidson descendant. Which is a good time to mention that your fearless list admin, along with his wife, is a candidate for the New Hampshire state house of Representatives this November. Hopefully, this is the last time it is mentioned on this list... ok? john. Nashua, NH At 07:38 AM 9/8/2008, Don Bishop KJ5SI wrote: >I thought this was the Davidson list.

The Davidson genealogy forum is not the correct forum for this type of message, (Pitbull Shocker). I ask that you reserve political comments for the political forums you subscribe to and keep the Davidson site focused on genealogy. If you can't employ self control to do that, then unsubscribe until Nov 5th. This forum is focused on finding family. Finding family, using this forum, is far more important than your well-noted, personal, focused, political bias. I get enough politics from various news media and find that finding family is great relief from the bias based lies being bandied about by the candidates. If you thought many would be interested, you failed to consider that many would not. Quit wasting my genealogy time with your 1-point political blather, I get enough of that from the various media. I ask all researchers to direct an email to me if you disagree and I will be more than happy to engage you in political B.S. This way you won't waste another researcher's time. Kay

Hello John, I know (from my skimpy knowledge of your country's geography) that you probably won't be going anywhere near Ohio, but just for your interest here is a transcript I copied from the church at Boarhills, Fife, a number of years ago while travelling in that area in search of Davidson ancestral evidence. The stone had just been cleaned of lichen, and when I went past again a couple of years ago it had grown over again and was barely legible, so I was lucky to see it clean back in the 1980's. Here is the wording: Erected by the family In memory of their Father Thomas Davidson who died 11th June 1825 aged 75 years Also Penelope Gardner their Mother who died 20th September 1849 aged 89 years Also Isabella Gourley Spouse of David Davidson who died 17th Febry 1834 aged 35 years Likewise Helen daughter of James Davidson who died 8th July 1835 aged 6 months Also Catherine Forsyth spouse of James Davidson who died 20th July 1867 aged 68 years Also the said James Davidson who died 20th March 1880 aged 78 years Also Elspeth Davidson who died 3rd March 1876 aged 84 years [and on the North side of the same stone] Sacred Also to the memory of Thomas Davidson Junr. who died 8th August 1864 Aged 74 years Also David Davidson who died 7th Feb. 1867 Aged 67 years also Elizabeth Davidson, who died in Ohio, United States of America, 1st May 1875 aged 79 years Also Helen Davidson, who died in Ohio, United States of America, 28th July 1878 aged 80 years also Jane Bonthrone, spouse of Thomas Davidson who died 30th April 1888, aged 84 years 'I know that my Redeemer liveth' Boarhills is a tiny locality south of St Andrews, where my great-great-grandfather John Davidson was born 23rd November 1786. His father was James Davidson who lived mainly in Kingsbarns, a larger village a few miles to the south of Boarhills - and in turn, a few miles north of Crail, where my great-grandfather William Davidson was born in 1807, so I would assume the Davidsons on the tombstone would have been fairly close connections of mine. One of William's sisters, Elisabeth (spelt thus) died in Kentucky, wife of Joseph Hunter, but I don't have the date nor any details of the migration. What is interesting is the death of Elizabeth and Helen in Ohio, in 1875 and 1878 respectively.

To All, I wholeheartedly agree with Kay and could not put it more eloquently than she did in her post regarding my honest mistake. My apology and explanation of how the post occurred apparently has not posted to this list yet, though I prepared it and submitted it immediately after what happened was brought to my attention. Once again, to everyone, my sincerest apology for the mistake.

While Gov. Palin's assertion that the only difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull was "lipstick" drew a loud ovation from the Republican faithful in St. Paul, it raised the ire of the Pitbull Anti-Defamation League, a powerful association of pitbull fanciers who monitor the portrayal of pitbulls in the media. "As someone who has owned pitbulls for the past twenty years, my jaw dropped," said Carol Foyler, the group's executive director. "Most of us are thinking the same thing: enough is enough." Ms. Foyler said that for pitbull owners who have grown weary of their prized dogs being defamed and mistreated, Gov. Palin's wisecrack was the last straw: "We're all like, first the Michael Vick thing, and now this." Tracy Klugian, an irate pitbull owner from Buffalo, New York, echoed Ms. Foyler's sentiments: "I can think of many differences between pitbulls and Gov. Palin - for starters, pitbulls don't try to get their ex-brothers-in-law fired." With Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill) and John McCain (R-Ariz) fighting for every last vote, a coveted voting bloc like pitbull owners could very well decide the 2008 election, political insiders believe. While Gov. Palin was not available for comment on the pitbull controversy, a spokesperson for the McCain-Palin ticket offered this official statement: "Gov. Palin does in fact have one thing in common with a pitbull: neither is capable of answering questions from reporters."
