I had posted a week or so ago about a Jacob Alan (or so we think) Davidson. I received a response that looked hopeful, unfortunately it had a virus attached and I wouldnt open it. So Im going to try again. If this looks familiar, I have posted before, but kept on the list hoping I might get a break some day. I am looking for a J.A. Davidson known to have lived in Rolla, Missouri and died there during the Civil War. He married a Martha Smith, possibly in Mercer County, Ohio. In the 1850 Census there is a Jacob Davidson possibly living with a Stephen McBicker and his wife Ann. J. A. is listed as born in VA on the 1860 census for Missouri around the year 1820. He and Martha had four children: Jefferson who was born in Illinois; Jerome who was born in Indiana; Mary who was born in Missouri; and Samuel who was born in Missouri. This is about the extent I know and have only run into one other person researching this line. She is a stuck as I am. Any help would be appreciated. I think Ive exhausted almost all the internet sites only to find nothing.
