General Comments:
Came to the US about 1870 from Scotland with a brother/cousin (family rumor; not substantiated). Earliest known record: Marriage in 1889 to Mary Catherine Freed on October 31, 1889, in Ft. Smith, AR. Their son Ben Freed Davidson was born January 1891 in Radcliff, AR. They relocated to Tamaha, I.T. (now OK) in 1894. William was a founding member of his Masonic Lodge #8 in Tamaha and was an officer(?) until his death in July 1906. Don't know what killed him and haven't been able to locate an obituary. He was a (registered) druggist by trade and owned the local drug store in Tamaha. He was at one time the PostMaster in Tamaha and was a notary public.
His wife Mary Catherine Freed was born and raised in Findley, OH. Have no clue how they got to Arkansas. A ggreat Aunt who met William as a child (and who has since passed away) said he had a Scottish brogue and everyone called him 'Doc.' So he must have been in OH for a time. That's why I joined the DNA project. My Uncle LJ was the 3rd oldest of William's grandsons and he's the one that actually did the DNA swab. He is still living. |
