I have some stuff photocopied to mail you. I have David's address, but not Bill's. These materials concern Samuel H. Davidson's (b1795) grandparents John and Hannah Davidson of Halifax/Pittsylvania Co Va. They include the will and probate. Hannah remarried and then disposed of some of the land. They mention the children including our ancestor Abraham. Its also worth noting their neighbor was Samuel Harris, a well known local. The Jeremiah's fork of Birches Creek is still recognized. A housing development called "The Plantation at Birches Creek" is going up there now. I'm also attaching a work in progress: the attempted deciphering of SHD's father's (Abraham Davidson's) rev. war pension applications. The pertinent documents are on "heritage questonline.com" which I accessed at the NYC public library. Its difficult to read so a photocopy is useless. I'd love it if someone else also gave this a try. The italicized parts are other applications I found on the web from folks with similar service. The paragraph pertinent to genealogy is fairly clear. I have no idea where the actual original is (Nashville, Camden?) There are also some documents concerning a John Davison of Bertie Co NC and his son John. The one which is a recording of a gift of land from Sr. to his "only son John" is the (as far as I know) only pertinent connection to suggest that John of Sr. of Bertie is SHD's great grandfather. The related documents seem to indicate to me John Sr. had subsequent children and redivided the land. I will next start to copy some stuff about relations around Camden Tn in the 1800's and send that at a later date.

How could other Davisons get a copy of your work? Especially interested in the information on John's Thank you Jet > > > I have some stuff photocopied to mail you.
