FAMILY NOTES

HUSBAND NOTES: Hugh Davidson
General: Hugh & Elizabeth came to the U.S. before the War of 1812. They
are said to have lived in Harrison, Belmont, and Warren counties before
settling in Wayne Twp, Darke Co., OH, in 1823, north of present-day
Versailles.

WIFE NOTES: Elizabeth Allen
General: Elizabeth's brothers Hugh & William Allen also immigrated to
U.S. from Northern Ireland. Hugh was married to Catherine Davidson,
younger sister of Hugh Davidson; they settled in Warren Co., OH.
William married Ann Jane Clark; they moved to U.S. much later, perhaps in
the early 1850's, and settled in Darke Co., OH.

CHILD NOTES: Margaret Davidson
General: While the marriage of Margaret to Thomas Taylor is accepted and
documented in Darke Co. records, their children are uncertain and where
they moved is unknown to me.

CHILD NOTES: William Davidson
General: May have been born in Warren Co., OH. Could the stone for a
William Davidson in Hoover Cem (as read by Short & Bowers in the 1960's;
stone gone in 2000) have been his? It was read as d. 2-19-18__ ae 79 y.
Perhaps the age was in poor condition and should have been 27y.

CHILD NOTES: Rebecca Davidson
General: Her grave marker says "d. 3-13-1891 age 68y" and this is
confirmed in her obituary which also gives 68 years. In the 1850 census
Rebeccas's age was given as 28. Her birthday was probably sometime
between March and July.

CHILD NOTES: Robert Davidson
General: My original information, often repeated, was that Robert was
killed in Kentucky during the Civil War. However, his descendant Betty
Woolley's 1992 book (copy at Garst Museum) states he died in Maryland,
as shown in this record. There are two stones for Robert in the English
Cemetery, but no idea if the body was actually returned to Ohio for
burial. One of the stones indicates that Robert was a member of Co. F,
152nd OVI which is confirmed in the Official Roster of the unit.
