I need to make a correction to my earlier message.  It now seems 
certain that the William Davidson who purchased land from the John 
and Elizabeth Murray family in Botetourt Co., VA in 1774 was NOT the 
William Davidson who married Martha Baker.  The William Davidson 
who bought that land in 1774 (which became part of Rockbridge Co., VA 
as of 1778), and who built a home there circa-1775, was instead an 
unrelated William Davidson from PA who married first Sarah McCoy and 
second the widow Mrs. Elizabeth (Wilson) McCrea.

The William Davidson who married Martha Baker apparently did not 
leave the Buckingham/Prince Edward Co., VA area and move to 
Botetourt Co., VA until about 1782, when he purchased land there from 
John Greenlee.  It was apparently just a coincidence that one of William 
and Martha (Baker) Davidson's sons named Reverend Andrew Baker 
Davidson eventually owned the above home in Rockbridge Co., VA that 
had been built by the unrelated William Davidson circa-1775.
