Hi, Cuzzins: found the following at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~schmblss/home/History/PioneerFamilies/StC harles/Families-C-D.html Missouri Pioneer Families - there are many surnames! Shirley: bobert@panacom.com DAVIDSON.-- Andrew Davidson, of KY., came to MO. in 1811, but returned in 1813, and married SARAH JOHNSON. In 1830 he came back to MO. and settled in St. Charles Co. His children were Susan, Greenberry, William, Angeline, Eliza J., Salome, and John. The old gentleman was a great friend of the Indians, and in order to manifest his good feelings, he kept a lot of tobacco with which he would fill their pouches when they stopped at his house. One of his sons, a mischievous lad, poured a pound of gunpowder into the tobacco, and several of the Indians got their faces and noses burnt in attempting to smoke it. This, of course, was taken as a mortal offense, and it was with the greatest difficulty that Mr. Davidson kept the Indians from killing himself and his family.
