General Comments:
These results are a 66/67 marker match to the baseline for Group 05 of the Ford Family DNA Project, with the single variance occurring at a relatively fast-changing genetic marker, indicating an extremely tight connection between this Davidson line and this Ford group. (For more information, see Group 05 on the RESULTS and Y RESULTS tabs of the
Ford Family DNA Project web site.) |

Mark Davidson put Perry Davidson as his father & Mary Ann FORD as his mother on his marriage registration. Since Mark was living with a nephew of Oliver Perry Davidson in 1880, it was assumed that the Perry Davidson on the marriage registration referred to Oliver Perry Davidson. Kits 60554 & 60557 (see Family 9) were control kits for two known descendants of Oliver Perry Davidson. It was hoped that this kit 60556 would be a 12/12 match to 60554 & 60557 for proof that Oliver Perry Davidson was Mark Davidson's father. 60554 & 60557 were 12/12 matches, but this kit 60556 did not match. After upgrading to 67 markers, Kit 60556 turns out to be a high-resolution match to a group with the surname Ford. See the
Ford Family DNA Project web site. Go to Results Group 05. Thomas Ford is the ancestor of at least some and possibly all of this group so far. With no definite documentation for our Davidson line prior to 1880 and no paper trail that ties to the Ford surname except as the MATERNAL surname on Mark Davidson's marriage registration, can anyone offer any leads for this Mary Ann Ford as the mother of Mark Davidson born 1861?

Think that Mark may have been and orphan. A Mark Davidson in 1870 census, Massac Co. IL, lived with an Abram Stockton Family and age 9 shown agrees with 1880 census when we know that at age 19, (1880 census Pope Co. IL) Mark lived with the James W. Neely family. Note: Neely was transcribed incorrectly as Nesly on the 1880 census. James W. Neely was the son of Charles Neely and Mary Emaline Davidson (sister of Oliver Perry Davidson).
Mark married Cora Elizabeth Waters in 1890 at Neely School House in Massac County, Illinois.
