Hello, I want to thank all the people who have gotten with me after my first attempt at posting on this site, everyone has been very helpful. I've been researching my Davidson genealogy for some years now, and could only go back as far as my 4th great grandfather, but since a cousin of mine has so graciously contributed to the Davidson/Davison/Davisson DNA project we now know that we belong with the Family 4 of the project. The administrators and I have discussed the connections to us, and have come to the conclusion that the direction to look at now is through William Davison and Ruth Sidwell, who were Quakers..here is what I have seen records on: New Garden (Guilford Co., NC) MM 1777/12/29 James Davison, son of James, Guilford Co., m Hannah Sidwell 1778/11/30 William Davison, son of James, Guilford Co., m. Ruth Sidwell (these are brothers who married sisters...they are the sons of James Davison and Mary Bean) Cane Creek (Orange{now Alamance} Co., NC) MM page 20.

Davidson b. 1829 TN d. 1880-1900 CA I have additional information on all of these children of Thomas and Nancy Ann. My line comes down Samuel Davidson b. 1812...I have information on down for all siblings, etc. I've researched a Richard Davidson who also lived in Jackson Co., TN and believe him to be a brother of my Thomas Davidson (as Thomas' eldest son William executed Richard's Will).. Where do I go from here? Where do I find actually documentation on this? I can't find anything on New Garden or Lost Creek or New Hope online. I haven't been able to locate any records as to my Thomas and Nancy Ann' marriage. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking time to look this over, I look forward to hearing from any and all with assistance. Terry Menck Arizona
