General Notes: Husband - Robert Davidson

---

In all probability, Robert Davidson, with his brother Andrew, were the first settlers in Big Beaver Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, Robert settling where Wampum now stands, and Andrew on the site of Clinton. Robert Davidson acquired several hundred acres of land, at one time owning the whole territory from Wampum to Newport, land which his son, William M., inherited.

General Notes: Wife - Margaret McCord

---

She survived her husband many years and died in 1882, aged eighty-six years. [TCHNCLC, 825] But it is not clear that these date are completely compatible with other dates given by the same source for other family members.
