Surnames: Davidson, Hall Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FNR.2ACEB/19.58.1284.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Nita, I saw your message and flipped back to your earlier one where you mentioned that your grandfather was Abner Hall Davidson. I hope that you have a living male Davidson relative who would be willing to join the Davidson DNA project. I think your family may be my nearest living Davidson relations! Tell me if I have this right. George N Davidson (I had a middle name of Neil, not Newton, but that was not good data.) was born about 1847 in Tennessee. He was the oldest son of William F Davidson who was living in Bedford County at the time of the 1850 census. The family subsequently moved to Gibson county. William was the oldest son of Abner Davidson and Eliza Hall, both originally of Iredell county, NC. My gg-grandfather was John H. Davidson, William's brother. Here is a link to William from my web site. I have never been able to confirm that the Gibson county family was the same but I suspected that it was. Seeing the name Abner Hall almost confirms it. http://www.lislefamily.org/davidson/tng/getperson.php?personID=I10037&tree=davidson_main Please feel free to email off line. John Lisle Nashua, NH
