Tom, Mrs. Mary (Unknown) Davidson of Charles City Co., VA (CCCo) wrote her will in the late-1780s (and it was probated in 1793, as I recall), and one of her daughters named therein was Mrs. Mary (Davidson) Major. It is uncertain which Davidson man was the husband of Mrs. Mary (Unknown) Davidson, but an Edward Davidson was one of the witnesses (and/or executor) of her will. I have traced this Davidson family (my family) back to the David Davidson who died in James City Co., VA (JCCo) in 1687 (he was born in Holland, per his naturalization papers) and to his son, who was also named David Davidson, who died in 1756 in CCCo. A William Davidson also died in JCCo in 1687 (per a Bruton/Middleton Parish record), but I don't know how/if he was related to David Davidson, nor do I know if he had a wife and/or children. Does anyone know which Mr. Major the above Miss Mary Davidson married? Mrs. Mary (Davidson) Major had siblings who were named Miss Elizabeth Davidson and William Davidson. William Davidson choose a Mr. Wilson to be his guardian by 1793. It appears that this was the same William Davidson who served in the War of 1812, as did his likely relative Henry Davidson. Thanks!
