They were: Isaac Pike Silas(Cyrus) Mary (Polly) Ann Samuel Claiborne (Clabe) Wayne Robert (Bob) Edward (Ned) Daniel After his wife Elizabeth died, Samuel married again Mary (Polly)about 18 years old, Samuel was about 42 I heard she could be found in the yard playing with the children. Samuel and Mary had 10 Children, they were: John Goolman (Gool) Sarah (Sally) Henry C. Lemuel Mariah Elizabeth Margaret(Maggie) Matilda Pleasant (Bose) Armina and there you have the siblings of John Goolman Davidson all 19 of them. Pleasant and Armina were born in Missouri. This is from a book of my husbands on the Davidson family, that was put together in Iowa by the decentants of the Davidson or Davison family. (Most of the first 10 dropped the second d in their name.) This book has 318 pages, and several pictures. Samuel died on 5 February 1866 and Mary in 1893 or 1896. They wer buried in Buchanan Township, Page County, Iowa. Hiram (Hi) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
