General Notes: Husband - James Davidson

---

He lived at home until he married, assisting in clearing the land and attending the primitive school in the neighborhood when opportunity offered. Later he learned the blacksmith trade and opened and conducted a shop on his farm. A part of his farm land was given him by his father, who then owned several hundred acres, and a part he bought from his brother Thomas. When James Davidson brought his wife there no buildings erected and their first home was a hastily built log house. The blacksmith shop was next built and Mr. Davidson operated that for thirty years, his sons mainly conducting the farm. In 1872 he built a commodious and comfortable frame residence and there he later died. He was a leading member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and for years was its treasurer. During his later years he took much interest in public matters and supported the Republican party's candidates.

[TCHNCLC, 789] states that he was the son of Andrew Davidson, while his wife was the daughter of John Davidson.
