General Comments:
William Davidson arrived in Jefferson County Ohio in approximately 1799 when he leased land in Wayne Township. After what appears to be an untimely death in 1808, his wife Susannah remained in Jefferson County until 1831 when she was an original purchaser of 160 acres in Holmes Cty, German Twp (now Clark), Range 5; Twp 8; Sect 9; SE 1/4. A Nuncupative Will by William Davidson mentions his wife Susannah and Joshua Davidson, the oldest son, both of whom were a witness. There were 11 children of the marriage, Joshua, Eleanor, William Jr., Elizabeth, Sarah, James, Mary, Joseph, Susannah, Reason and Jane.
Just prior to his entry to Jefferson Cty, Ohio some researchers believe that he was in Washington County, PA which is across the Ohio River from Jefferson Cty, Ohio. I have not been able to prove that. Prior to this period he was in Maryland where Joshua, the eldest child was born according to census data. William's wife Susannah was b. VA according to census data. Her surname is not known. |

William signed a death bed will in 1808 that was wittnessed by his eldest son, Joshua Davidson, b. 1777 in MD. It is assumed that he died of illness or injury somewhat young as his wife lived another 28 years beyond his death. There is speculation that William was in Washington Cty, PA just prior to his entry into Ohio. Prior to that time, he was in MD where his son Joshua was born. Census data indicates Wm was born in PA.

Reason Davidson is well documented as the youngest male of the marriage of William Davidson and Susannah. Census data indicates that Susannah, the mother, resided with Reason and his wife for several years in Jefferson Cty and later in Holmes Cty, Ohio. After Susannah, the mother, died in Mar 1836, Reason removed his family to De Kalb County, Fairfield Township, Indiana where he remained for many years.

The family relocated from Indiana to Allen Cty, Ohio because of a connection of Carl Davidson's wife, Johanna to that area.
