From Leaves of the Tree, page 217:

is shown in the 1850 census with Moses
Chaffin; she was 32, Moses, 48. In addition to John and Nathan,
three other children are shown, Sarah,
William, and Charles. These could be children by the second marriage.

born November 08, 1808 in Georgia, and died October 16, 1884 in West
Point, Georgia. He married SUSAN CAROLINE (UNKNOWN) December 11, 1834.
Notes for DAVID DAVIDSON:
David moved to Long Cane, Troup Co. GA in 1836. Long Cane is just
a few miles northeast of West Point on the road to La Grange.
According to the 1840 census, David Davidson ( 5-1-1-2) lived in
Troup County, Ga. The 1850 census named the members of his family.
(David was listed as 41, a farmer with $1,500 in real estate and
7 slaves. His wife, Susan was listed as 37. Their children included
William R. Davidson age 15, my great grandfather. The other children
were John P. - 13, Timney E. - 6, Lucinda M. - 3, Mary E. - 1)
David was still in Troup County in 1860, only the census says he
is 62 years old (I believe this was incorrect census information.
It perhaps should have been 52 years old, instead of 62 - agreeing
with the 1840, 1850, and 1870 census). His real estate was valued
at $2,860 and his personal property was listed at $15,000 --
which is probably the 16 slaves he owned by that time.
His wife, listed as SUSAN CAROLINE is in the 1860 census as 44
years old. In the 1860 census, the children are the same, except
that William R. Davidson is no longer in the household.
J. T. - 22, T. E. - 16, Margaret - 13, M. E. - 9, W. C. - 8,
S. F. - 6, D. T. - 4.
The 1870 census lists David as 63 years old. His wife, Susan Cary,
is listed as 53. The children still living at
home are: Maggie, age 24; Mary, age 22; Watson, age 19 (farm hand);
Fannie , age 16; and Dolphus, age 14. His real estate is listed as
$1500 and his personal estate is listed as $1000.

in the Historical Register and Dictionary

This is an alphabetical list of officers of the regular army who
were killed or wounded in action or taken prisoner. This information
was found at Ancestry
He is also listed in the book "Ocali Country" by Eloise Ott and Louis
Chazal on page 156. The book stated: "February 14, 1898, the
Battleship Maine was sunk in Havana Harbor, and the United States by
April was at war with Spain and troop trains moved through Ocala.
Company "A" Second Florida Infantry, known more familiarly as the
Ocala Rifles," commanded by Captain R. E. Davidson, was given
a tearful send-off by relatives and friends when the military unit
left for Tampa." He would have been 44 years old in 1898.
Additional information about Robert Emmett was found in a newspaper
obit about David Elmo Davidson. It stated that " his brother,
Major R. E. Davidson, was a commander of the Ocala Rifles."
R. E. Davidson was mentioned in a Leesburg Commercial newspaper
article about John Elmo Davidson being candidate for commission at
Navy Officer's School (August 1962). The article stated that many of
John's ancestors had served their country. Among the names
mentioned were "Major Emmett Davidson, early settler of Marion County".
Mrs. Sybil Bray of Ocali, Florida (historian and author of "Salty
Crackers") sent me a copy of a April 1898 Ocala Banner newspaper.
It told about Captain R. E. Davidson, covering the Arlington Hotel
in to a mess hall and recruiting office for the Ocala Rifles .
It named the men in his company and told of the days before they
left for Tampa and the Spanish - American War.
Sybil also sent copies of the list of the "Soldiers of Florida in
the Seminole Indian - Civil - Spanish -American Wars".
This was prepared and published under the supervision of the Board
of State Institution, as authorized by Chapter 2203 Laws of Florida,
approved May 14, 1903. Page 344 states that Captain Robert E. Davidson
was mustered in Company A - 1st Florida Infantry on April 25, 1898
