This is much further than I or my sister got on that lineage. I'll need time to fill in my tree with the information for the Davidson's, etc. I'll review the information I have collected but I think you have more by far than what I have been able to trace. Seemed to take forever to get going on my Russell lineage as my g-grandfather was named James Russell and there were so many to try and narrow down to the right James Russell but then got information on James Russell's father being Josephus. Pieces began to fall into place but then I had to put the research down once my father (a Russell) got sick and passed. Still hard for me to pick it up while caring for my Mom. I am not familiar with any Davidson's but will ask my cousins. My father was one of six brothers but now there are only two of the six still living. One of the brothers has diminished memory so leaves just the baby brother who may remember...Only while all of the Russell brothers were alive, they knew little about the Russell side. They knew mostly of their mother's side and family history. My grandfather Percy Russell died before I was born and according to the brothers, they only knew about their Father's brothers and sisters. Their father, Percy, said little about his parents. Not sure why that was. Anyway thank you! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
