Crystal,

Carolyn Jane Davidson ,or Jane Carolyn Davidson, was a daughter of Leroy 
Oglesby Davidson and Adaline Sarah Jane Moore.  Leroy was a son of Reverend 
Samuel Davidson (born about 1777; died 1861 in Appomattox Co., VA) who was 
pastor of Red Oak Baptist Church for 40-50 years (in Campbell/Appomattox 
Co., VA).  Samuel married Frances Oglesby.  Samuel was the son of James 
Davidson, Junior (apparently married to a Virginia Unknown by 1777 and then 
married second to a Jane Cockrane in 1779), and James "Junior" was the son 
of an older James Davidson "Senior" (whose wife is not known, as I recall). 
James "Junior" had a brother who was named David Davidson, and David married 
a sister of Jane Cockrane who was named Elizabeth Cockrane.  By at least the 
1770s, James Davidson, Senior came to Bedford Co., VA from PA, and he and 
his family settled in the part of Bedford Co., VA that became Campbell Co., 
VA in 1782.  This is part of Davidson DNA "Family 7" at 
www.davidsongenes.org.  As shown on that DNA website, there are quite a few 
Davidson men from this family who have submitted DNA samples to Family Tree 
DNA.  Below is a good website on this Davidson family that was produced by 
Orren Davidson (who is also a descendant of this Davidson family):

As shown in the above website, Mrs. Adaline S. J. (Moore) Davidson can be 
found on the 1850 Christian Co., KY census and on the 1870 Hinds Co., MS 
census....and she has one or more members of the Bledsoe family living with 
her in each case.
