Hi, John >I have been doing some research on the family of George Davidson, Jr., of >Iredell Co., NC. George was the son of Col. George Davidson and Catherine >Penelope Reese and was born in 1757 in Rowan County. He married a Rosanna >Falls, d/o William Gilbreath Falls and Isabella Kerr. She was born about 1765. > >I have found three conflicting dates for their marriage: several secondary >references give a date in 1794; others give 13 Jan 1784; and a reference on >the OBCGS site give a date from the Duncanson Collection of 13 Jan 1781 in >Rowan County. The last seems to be based on a lookup from a primary >source. Does anyone have access either to the primary source - a Rowan >county marriages register - or another good compilation that might give the >date, and could they please share their data with me. The second date (13 Jan 1784) coincides with the IGI, which is normally based on a primary source. However, to get a better handle on the date, you might want to try Jo White Linn's compilation of Rowan County marriages and marriage bonds for this period. It should be available through inter-library loan ... or maybe some kind soul on the List who has it can do a look-up for you. NJ Arvay
