I found the family in the 1930 census living in Boone Co. Source Citation: Year: 1930 Census Place: Thorntown, Boone, Indiana Roll: 578; Page: 5A; Enumeration District: 18 Name: Walter P Davidson Home in 1930: Thorntown, Boone, Indiana Age: 31 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1899 Birthplace: Indiana Spouse's Name: Blanch E Living at 317 South A.

IN Harold P Davidson, Son, 8, attends school, b. IN Evelyn E Davidson, Daughter, 7, attends school, b. IN Jean F Davidson, Son, 5, doesn't attend school, b. IN There's no Paul listed among the children, so either he wasn't born yet or the Harold P., age 8 could be Harold Paul. ?? ............................................. The 1920 census shows Walter & Blanch living with her parents: Source Citation: Year: 1920 Census Place: Sugar Creek, Boone, Indiana Roll: T625_423; Page: 14A; Enumeration District: 20 Name: Walter Davidson Home in 1920: Sugar Creek, Boone, Indiana Age: 21 years Estimated Birth Year: abt 1899 Birthplace: Indiana Relation to Head of House: Son-in-law Spouse's Name: Blanch Rufus Price, Head, 41, married, b. IN, father b. KY, mother b. IN, Occupation: General Laborer Mamie Price, Wife, 39, b. OH, parents b. OH Wilbur Price, Son, 17, doesn't attend school, b.

IN, Occupation: General Laborer Blanch Davidson, Daughter, 19, married, b. IN, father b. IN, mother b. OH INTERESTING NOTE: Living next door is an Andrew Price, age 67, born KY, and his wife Mary, age 64 with two adult children and two grandchildren in the household. Based on the birthplace, I suspect this might be the father of Rufus Price. .................................................. Finding Walter in the 1910 census index is a little more difficult because the index shows 2 possible results but neither of them are in Boone Co. Walter Davidson, b. abt. 1899 Indiana, parents Sam and Alice (both born in Indiana), South Bend Ward 7, St Joseph Co., IN Walter Davidson, b. abt. 1899 Indiana, parents Witkins or William H. (born Illinois) and Etta (born Indiana), Jackson, White Co., IN Even though White County (slightly north of Lafayette, IN) is closer to Boone Co. (northwest of Indianapolis, IN) than St. Joseph Co. (on the Indiana/Michigan border) I'm not sure that the DAVIDSON family in White County is Walter's because the father was born in Illinois and Walter says both his parents were born in Indiana so I'll have to dig a little further.
