The George Davidson mentioned in the post is my 3rd great-grandfather. I am extremely interested in knowning about the Rees and Ann also mentioned. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Richard Davison ------------------------------------ From: "foxit" < foxit@ev1.net> Subject: [Q-R] Davidson, Lewis Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2001 21:40:22 -0600 Hello List, I am new to this list and to Quaker research altogether. Perhaps someone out there can help me with my beginning efforts. My four times great grandfather, Ephraim Marble, married a lady named Leanna Davidson. I believe her father was Rees Davidson who married Ann Lewis (father, Thomas Lewis?) in 1797, Berkeley County, VA (later becoming West Virginia) but do not have absolute proof yet. Rees appears in Fayette County, PA in the 1810 Federal Census right next to my Marble family. He died in Wayne County, OH on 15 Nov, 1814, with Thomas Lewis, Morgan Lewis, and James Glass as his administrators. Rees's wife, Ann, is listed on the 1820 Harrison County, OH census. Living next to her is my Ephraim Marble and family, with Thomas Lewis in close proximity. I have learned of a George Davidson, son of Rees and Ann Davidson, (born 1799 in Berkeley, WVA), from a kind gentleman on the Fayette County, PA list who found him in Hinshaw's, Volume IV. He was in the Short Creek MM. All that causes me to think my Rees Davidson was of the Quaker persuasion himself, but I would like to find hard evidence. Any suggestions as to how to proceed?
