Thanks so much for your response. I would love to exchange photos with you (I have one of Waldo & his spouse). I will contact you via email with all the Davidson-related info. I have. I will also send same to Ruth Kent who has been a wonderful source of info. to date.

Josiah Davidson died fairly young in Limestone Co., AL in 1825. At least two of his earlier children were born in TN, and at least one of his later children was born in AL (per the 1850...and later...Limestone Co., AL censuses). Does anyone know where in TN this Josiah Davidson lived before he moved to AL? Note: it does not APPEAR that the Josiah Davidson who was in Dickson Co., TN in 1820 was this Josiah Davidson. It seems almost certain that this Josiah Davidson (who was married to Elizabeth Hardiman from Buckingham Co., VA) was the son of an older Josiah Davidson of Buckingham Co., VA. That older Josiah Davidson married Rebecca Giles on 25 Dec 1788, and he was the son of David Davidson (died about 1798 in Buckingham Co., VA) and his apparent wife Mary Giles. Note: Mary's ASSUMED maiden name is based on the names of her children, which included Giles Davidson and Josiah Davidson. There was a man named Josiah Giles in the Giles family in the Buckingham area. Thanks, Bill Davidson
