Are there any known living male Davidsons from your line who could join the DNA testing project? That is the best way to determine if your line matches any of the numerous other Davidson/Davison/ Davisson lines that have also joined the project. There appears to have been about a dozen Davidson/Davison/Davisson lines that came through just VA alone in the 1600s-1800s, and that large number of unrelated families with that general surname remains one of my biggest surprises in genealogy. http://www.tqsi.com/davidsongenes/
