General Notes: Husband - William Davidson

---

He grew to manhood on his father's farm, working thereon in the time not devoted to the obtaining of an education, and after his marriage settled at Bridgewater, Pennsylvania. He was a skilled, competent miller, and erected three mills on the Beaver river, a grist, saw and planing-mill, over all of which he maintained active supervision, being master of all branches and operating all the mills with equal facility. He also conducted an extensive business in the building of boats. He remained in business until about two years before his death. His home was a large brick edifice on an eminence that commanded a view of the country-side traversed by the Beaver for many miles, an outlook of charming beauty. This building was erected about 1835. He laid out that part of West Bridgewater known as North Bridgewater, about 1831. Both he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, and in politics he was an ardent supporter of the Democratic party.

By his first marriage he was the father of eleven children, of whom four died in infancy, and by his second and third marriages he had three, none of whom attained maturity.
