John,  Good luck on your trip.  When in Tenn. keep your eye peeled for my Daniel Davidson and Mary Enochs marriage record.  I am thinking they may have stopped off in Tenn. with the other Davidson relatives before going on into Ky. in 1810.  Did I ever tell you I have pretty good evidance there were 2 Daniel Davidsons?  Father and son.  Discovered this in the Sullivan Co., In. genealogy library where they have a Dr.'s Daybook from that era. It shows my gr.gr.grandfather paying for medicine for HIS Mother.  The year was 1818.  Think this may be why it has been so hard to track my gr.gr.grandfather for the census records carry the same name (Daniel Davidson) through from  1810 Ky. to Ind. 1820 in Indiana census.  My gr.gr.grandfather was only about 24 on the 1810 census with three children in the household and this older man and woman  was 45 and upward.  Of course now I know that older woman was Daniel's Mother.  Wonder which of the two men  the name on the census referred to as head of the household. It would sure help me to know for sure if I have two Daniels. Both old people disappear on the 1840 census.  Probably dead by then.  Still plan to have my nephew do the DNA but he has been so tied up with kids in college, and his business it has been hard.  Also he lives just north of Dayton, Ohio and I am in Carmel, In. Have a good time on your trip and let us all know how it goes.  Mary     ----- Original Message ---- From: John Lisle <davidson@tqsi.com> To: davidson@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, September 7, 2008 5:19:31 AM Subject: [DAVIDSON] Travelling to Tennessee and North Carolina Hi list members, No DNA or list etiquette in this message! My wife recently retired, and we decided to "celebrate" by taking a bit of a tour to some of my Davidson ancestral places in Tennessee and North Carolina. Although I have been an avid researcher of the Davidson families in these areas for many years, I have never actually visited these places that my grandmother's ancestors lived. My projected itinerary has us in Nashville during the weekend of 11-14 September and in Atlanta area during the following weekend. In between Nashville and Atlanta and the week after Atlanta, we plan to stop in sites in the Bedford/Coffee Co., TN; Buncombe/Transylvania Co., NC; and Iredell Co., NC, with a somewhat fluid schedule. If anyone has any specific suggestions for places to visit or any special events during that time period, I would like to hear of them. Thanks, john.
