Descendants of William Davidson (Emigrant)

Generation No. 1

1. WILLIAM DAVIDSON¹ (EMIGRANT) was born in Scotland, and died in Somerset County Maryland. He married ELIZABETH.

Notes for WILLIAM DAVIDSON (EMIGRANT):
      William Davidson, was born in Scotland and lived there until he was grown, married and had children. It is said they went from Scotland to Ireland, but remained in Ireland only a short time before coming to America in 1649. They were Scotch Presbyterians and, according to tradition, had to flee from Scotland to Ireland to save their heads because of religious persecution.
      William settled in 1649 in Somerset County, Maryland, this being the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, and there "proved 250 acres of land for transporting himself, Elizabeth his wife, Ann, Jane, and David Davidson his children into the Province to inhabit" to quote a conveyance of land on file at the Hall of Records, Annapolis,Maryland. ( Another deed says the land was granted " for service done in this Province by myself who came in the year 1649.") Children : 2 daughters and 4 or more sons, but only Williams later history and descendants are definitely known.
      William Davidson "Emigrant" after the death of Elizabeth, married second a young woman whose name is unknown. We have no record on date of his death, but the manner of his death is as follows: When very old, William went one day into the woods to see about firewood, saying he would be gone but two or three hours. He was never seen again. On a search the next day it was found that Indians had been in the woods and it was believed William had been killed or carried away alive by the Indians. his widow married second one ? Pyles.
      Their grandson , Joseph, born 1746 in Chester County, Pa., served in the Revolutionary War and later bought land in Washington County Pa. Joseph used to visit Lewis H Davidson and Mary Davidson in Harrison County, Freeport, Ohio (after 1809) and he told them about the disappearance of William.
