General Comments:
I am researching my first known Davidson ancestor. The book, Leaves of the Tree, states he was John Davidson. He was born about 1728 and died about 1801. I am not sure where he was born. According to other records, John and his wife, Tabitha, had eight children. Their names were James, Jean, Joseph, John Davidson (RS - born 1761), Elizabeth, Mary, Samuel and William. I am hoping to prove through DNA research that John and Tabitha were the parents to my first PROVEN Davidson ancestor.
My first proven ancestor is, also, named John Davidson. He is my great great great grandfather. According to John Davidson's war records and pension application, he was born 1761 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- on the banks of the Schuylkill River. Before the American Revolution, John moved with his mother and father to Union District, South Carolina. John enlisted to fight in the war, when he was only 16. He fought in numerous battles and was injured to his head and hand by a sword in the Battle of Cowpens. After the war, he moved from Union District, South Carolina to Georgia. First, he lived in Green County, Georgia. Next, he lived in Morgan County, Georgia. He settled in Shady Dale, Georgia -- Jasper County. He was married (wife unknown) and had six children. The children were Mary M., Robert, Margaret, Jane, David, and John Davidson, Jr. John Davidson (RS) died January 15, 1856 in Jasper County. His son, David Davidson, was my great great grandfather.
David Davidson was born November 8, 1808 in Georgia. He married Susan Caroline (last name unknown -- her mother was Elizabeth Henderson) on December 11, 1834. They lived in Long Cane, GA - Troup County. David and Caroline (Carrie) had ten children. They were William R., John P., Augustus Lafayette, Thomas B., Timney Elizabeth, Lucinda Margaret, Mary Elizabeth, Watson Cummins, Susan Frances, and Adolphus Talmadge Davidson. My great grandfather, William R. Davidson, was his oldest son. David Davidson died October 16, 1884.
William R. Davidson was born September 19, 1835 in Georgia. Census records lists his wife as Mary M. They had six children. They lived in Chambers County, AL, Harris County and Troup County, GA. Their children were Martha (Mattie) C., John Sidney, Lizzie M., Robert Emmett, David Elmo (sometimes seen as Elmore) and Zack (some census records show Zach) Davidson. William R. Davidson died July 29, 1891 in Georgia. David Elmo was my grandfather.
David Elmo Davidson was born May 5, 1868 in Harris County, Georgia. He married Louise B. Harrison on October 22, 1901 in York County, Florida. They had one son, Zack Chambliss Davidson. David Elmo Davidson died January 19, 1940 and is buried in Leesburg, Florida
