Dear Anna: I found the following reference to Robert E. Davidson, Major, Regular Army, in an Ancestry.com data base, but no dates. Unfortunately, there was no link to other data. Also, I could not find a "Zack Davidson" in the Georgia Census. This does not mean that he didn't exist but only that he was not listed. Perhaps you can locate a copy of this document and see if the data on p. 204 is expanded. It looks as though he (or his family) should have received a Purple Heart. I believe that there is a National Purple Heart Association that might have additional information. Good luck in your research, Don Davidson Los Alamos, NM ****************************************************************************** ****************** Alphabetical List of Officers of the Regular Army (From Its Organization, September 29, 1789, to 1903) Who Were Killed or Wounded in Action or Taken Prisoner, With Date and Place.
