1830 Census, Hardin Co. TN Jacob Davidson 2110001-1020001 William Davidson 11001-11001 1840 Census, Hardin Co., TN Jacob Davidson 10211001-10102 1850 Census, Hardin Co., TN 1st Civil District Jacob Davidson 63 NC Eliza C. 33 TN Does anyone have any info re the above listed Jacob Davidson and his family? I would appreciate anything anyone could offer. I suspect that the William Davidson listed in the 1830 Hardin Co census is the same as William Davidson who was in Wayne Co by 1840. I am a descendant of William Davidson (b. ? (about 179?); d. 1849, Wayne Co, TN) and his first (or "earlier") wife whose name is unknown. William Davidson's earlier wife d. about 1840, and William then m. Dicena McMahon Blackshear (1798, NC - 1886, TN), widow of Elijah Blackshear, in Wayne Co TN. The Blackshear's came to Williamson Co, TN from Jones Co, NC; then to Wayne Co in the 1820's. The family names, Marrs, McMahon, and Blackshear are closely intertwined with this Davidson family in Wayne Co. William Davidson had children named Hannah F., b abt 1828 in SC or TN (m. ? Thomas); James b in KY or TN (m. Nancy S. ?); Robert (m. ?); Alfred, b 15 May 1839, (m. Dicena McMahon), (my ancestor); Louisa Jane, b 1844; maybe others. I believe that these Davidson's came from North Carolina (or possibly KY) in the early 1800's to TN, and then moved on to Hardin, Wayne, and ? Counties. Bill Allen allen@nconnect.net West Bend, WI
