Renee Moore [email protected] May 6 09:30:15 EDT 1999

DAVIDSON, ASBURY BASCOM (1855-1920). Asbury Bascom Davidson, lawyer and lieutenant 
governor of Texas, son of William and Cathrina (McBank) Davidson, was born on November 
13, 1855, in Lincoln County, Tennessee. He moved to Williamson County, Texas, with his 
parents before 1870, was educated during the 1870s at Southwestern University in Georgetown, 
and then moved to Gonzales to study in a law office. After being admitted to the bar, he practiced 
for a time in Gonzales before moving in the early 1880s to Cuero, where he established his home 
and a law firm. There, in the late 1880s, he was elected district attorney for the Twenty-fourth Judicial 
District; he held that office for eight years, until he was elected state senator, a post he held for three 
years. Davidson was elected lieutenant governor of Texas for three consecutive terms, from 1906 
to 1912; he was one of the few men to serve in that office for that many successive terms. He was 
also a member of the board of directors of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas 
(now Texas A&M University). He served on the Texas executive committee for the Interstate Inland 
Waterway League of Louisiana and Texas after it was organized in 1905. Davidson was married 
to Minnie McClanahan in March 1890. He died on February 4, 1920, and was buried in Hillside 
Cemetery, Cuero.
