Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HAC.2ACE/67.165 Message Board Post: Your post shows that the father of the Stephen Davidson who married Lucy Neighbours was John Davidson. My research shows that John certainly COULD have been his father, but I was curious what documentation you have found on who his father was. Stephen and Lucy eventually moved to KY, and the 1850 Ohio Co., KY census shows Stephen as having been born in Georgia! Do you think that is a mistake or could that somehow be correct? John Davidson was probably John Benning Davidson, the son of Charles Davidson and the grandson of Edward Davidson (who moved from Buckingham to Bedford/Campbell Co., VA around 1780 or so). Charles stayed behind in Buckingham, and he and John then showed on the 1789 tax list in Cumberland Co., VA. A John Davidson then patented some land in back in Buckingham in the 1790s, and a John Davidson appeared on the 1810 Buckingham census. By 1810, Stephen had probably moved out of his parents home (since he was married in 1808), and sure enough, a Stephen Davidson of the correct age range also appeared on the 1810 Buckingham census (as did the older Stephen Davidson in this overall Davidson family; the older Stephen was the son of David Davidson (likely brother of Edward), and this older Stephen was born in Cumberland Co., VA in the 1750s and died in Buckingham in the 1830s). I suspect that the Stephen Davidson who was on the 1830 Campbell Co., VA census was the one who married Lucy Neighbours (but I have no hard proof of that). I don't know where he was in 1840, but by 1850, he was in KY, as stated above. Any/all comments on Stephen's father and/or why that census shows that he was from GA would be greatly appreciated. There were a couple of other (apparently unrelated) Davidson families in the Bedford/Campbell area, starting the mid-late 1700s (including a father/son pair of John Davidsons in the early 1800s), so it is hard to tell if any of the John Davidsons there in 1830 or so included the father of Stephen. There was a John Davidson on the 1820 Buckingham census, but he is shown as being younger than the one who was on the 1810 census. I do not know if that is a census mistake or if these were really two different John Davidsons. Thanks, Bill Davidson

Hi: For old Baptist churches and Ministers of early Buckingham Co., refer to my article "Association of Baptist Churches of Buckingham County" in V. 37, Number 2 May 1999 of the "Magazine of Virginia Genealogy". It should be in the magazine collection of your local genie library. If not available, recontact me after Thanksgiving. Jean M.

I have done some census analysis and the group that you talk about is one of my "orphan" SPENCER groups. You included enough info that combined with my ata - I think I know how they fit and want to see what you think. Your group Capt. William SPENCER b 1760-1770 per 1840 census (page 10, line 20) his son John R. SPENCER b 1808 and in 1840 census (page 8, line 18) you describe John R. SPENCER's family. Question - Who is Capt William related to ? OTHER DATA Nathan SPENCER b 1788 was son of Moses SPENCER b 1763 in 1840 census, Nathan is (page 10, line 21) probably next door to Capt William SPENCER Moses' parents were John and Mary SPENCER with children Moses, William, Joseph, Elizabeth, Patty SPECULATION Moses and Capt. William are brothers Moses son (Nathan) and Capt William's son (John R.) are cousins and live on adjacent parcels of land that were originally one piece of land. Other DATA 1840 census Moses on page 18, line 18 Joseph F. on page 18-30 b abt 1816 John R. on 18-8 What do your think ??? I don't see John R. family after 1850. Where did they go? Do you have any info tying Capt William to be Moses' brother ? Rob Ayres **************************************************************************** ***************** I have entered this family in my database, but not connected to any of my known kin...I have considered the prime name for my Samuel's father as a "James", then a William, possibly Samuel..and this below possible James in the will is This below message from another researcher gave me the idea for Spencer surname. =========== Robertson/Spencer in Buckingham Date: 12/30/02 11:42:36 PM Eastern Standard Time To: Caddowens@aol.com I see from Buckingham co. mailing list archives that you are interested in Samuel Robertson who was on the 1860 Buckingham Co. census with wife Sallie. Also in this household was Samuel Spencer, age 21. I can identify this Samuel Spencer as the son of John R. Spencer. You also noted from Roger Ward's book that John R. Spencer sold land that was part of Samuel Robertson's estate. I'm thinking that perhaps John R. Spencer's wife Elizabeth was a Robertson. John R. Spencer, son of Capt. William Spencer of Buckingham County, was born about 1808, married about 1835 to Elizabeth H. ___. Their children were named William J., Samuel T., Jane, Mary J., John B., Martha E., and Sophia W. John R. Spencer's sister Martha married Thomas Robertson, son of Hugh and Susannah (Ligon) Robertson. Capt. William's estate was also distributed to wives of Archer T. Robertson and James A. Robertson, who were probably his granddaughters by a deceased, unknown son. These Spencers seem to have been extremely closely involved with the Robertsons, and that might give you a clue as to how your Samuel is related to the other Robertsons that the Spencers are related to. I hope this helps. Please let me know if your figure out anything." Alice
