Surnames: DAVIDSON GIBSON MOORE HATCHER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FNR.2ACEB/2314.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks very much for the info. My mother's maiden name was Davidson. It is my understanding that our ancestors came to Nashville or its area in the 1700's or 1800's and settled there. I also understand that Davidson County was named for our ancestors. I am attempting to verify this.
