I believe that my Davison line (kit 22233) comes from David thru his son Crable.  And my line and Carroll/Laroice's line are definitely related.  I think kit 78574 is part of family 4.  I have found a living male descendent of David>Crable.  I am hoping that he will do the DNA test.  Diana --- On Tue, 1/12/10, Laroice Davidson <davidsonl001@hawaii.rr.com> wrote: From: Laroice Davidson <davidsonl001@hawaii.rr.com> Subject: Re: [DAVIDSON] William Davidson To: "Bill Davidson" <tunnelm@verizon.net>, davidson@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, January 12, 2010, 4:17 PM Hi Bill, So do you think that kit number 78574 in family 4 should be in family 7? These are comments from Family 4 DNA page and what I was using.       General Comments:       Believe David's wife's name was Elizabeth (possibly Cochran but unproven). Believe she was his second wife as son Thomas seems to have been born before that marriage.       David and Elizabeth show up in Washington Co., Ky. in the late 1790s. Then in Breckinridge County in 1800 and 1810. Totally lose them after 1810.       Their children were:       Thomas (maybe Thomas Jefferson), b. 1775       Philemon, b. 1785 in "Western Pennsylvania, married Catherine Clarke       William M., b. 1787, married Mary Celia Hardin       Mary (also seen as Polly), b. 1791, married John Miller       Nancy, b. 1794, married Bartlett Angel Basham, III       Crable, b. 1796, married Sophia Unknown       Rebecca, b. 1799, married Hiram Miller       Searching all lines backwards and forwards.       Thanks, Laroice I ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Davidson" <tunnelm@verizon.net> To: <davidson@rootsweb.com> Cc: "Laroice Davidson" <davidsonl001@hawaii.rr.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 3:33 AM Subject: Re: [DAVIDSON] William Davidson > Laroice, > > The David Davidson/Davison who married Elizabeth Cochran/Cockrane/Cockran > in Bedford Co., VA in 1779 was almost certainly a member of "Family > 7....not "Family 4."  Your David Davison and his wife Elizabeth UNKNOWN > had their son Philemon Davison in PA around 1785, and I just do not see > any "connection" between them and the family in Bedford Co., VA (other > than the similar names and the fact that both families came from > PA....which probably led to this confusion). > > The David Davison in Bedford Co., VA had an apparent brother who was named > James Davison, Junior, and James "Junior" married Elizabeth's sister named > Jane/Janet Cochran....also in Bedford Co., VA, and also in 1779 (and James > "Junior" apparently moved to GA for a while, before returning to VA).  The > father of this David Davison and James Davison, Junior was an older James > Davison, Senior who came to VA from PA (he provided surety for both of his > son's weddings to the Cockrane sisters).  Another son of this James > Davison, Senior was named Samuel Davison, and he eventually moved to TN > and then to Indiana, as I recall.  Just like "Family 4," we now have quite > a few DNA donors in "Family 7." > > Note: There were at least THREE unrelated Davidson/Davison families in the > Bedford/Campbell Co., VA area in the late-1700s (including a branch of my > "Family 10"), so one has to be careful not to incorrectly "intermix" the > various families with that surname in that area of VA.  The same is true > for the Grainger Co., TN area, where the above-referenced Samuel Davison > lived for a while (ditto a branch of my "Family 10").  It does not APPEAR > to me, however, that your family was in either of those two areas. > > Comments/questions? > > Best regards, > > Bill Davidson > ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DAVIDSON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
