Appendix A  -  Notes


1.  Alexander DAVIDSON Capt.
Virginia Green  
Bill Allen 
"Revolutionary War Patriots of Marshall County, Tennessee", compiled
by Jane W. Alford, 1976
  Captain Alexander Davidson was born before 1755 in Rowan County, North Carolina, and died in Bedford 
County (now Marshall), Tennessee, in 1818. He was the son of Revolutionary soldier, Joseph Davidson 
who was born ca. 1725 and died after September 15, 1795, in Statesville, North Carolina. Captain 
Davidson married Henrietta Clayton in Rowan County, in 1769. She was the daughter of George Clayton, 
b. 1723, d. 1786, and Sarah Lambert. Henrietta was born in 1745.

  Captain Davidson was living in Rowan County, when the war began and records show he enlisted 
April 26, 1776. 
He was in Colonel Thomas Clark's Company, First North Carolina Battalion. "Sketches of Western 
North Carolina" 
by Hunter, gives a good account of his participation in the war:

  "Captain Alexander Davidson was one of the earliest settlers on the Western part of Rowan County 
(now Iredell). He took an active part in the Revolutionary struggle for independence. When Cornwallis 
was moving from Charleston toward North Carolina and General Gates was ordered to meet him, 
Governor Caswell, of North Carolina ordered a draft of men to strengthen Gates' army. In response to 
this order the people in that part of Iredell County bordering on the Catawaba River below the Island
Ford, assembled at a central point, afterwards known as Brown's Muster Ground, when a company was 
formed under the draft, and Alexander Davidson was elected captain. Soon afterward Captain Davidson 
marched his company to Gates' rendezvous when that officer moved his army to the unfortunate and 
sanguinary field of
Camden, South Carolina. In that disastrous engagement Captain Davidson's company took an active part, 
and the greater portion of them was cut to pieces."

  Captain Davidson and his wife came early to Tennessee for he appears in Williamson County, Tennessee, 
court records as of August 2, 1805, and again in 1808.

  He and his wife are buried in Round Hill Cemetery at Belfast, Tennessee, in unmarked graves.
Their children were as follows:

1. Joseph Davidson, b. Aug. 15, 1779, in Iredell Co., NC, d. June 3, 1859, married (1) Sarah Nesbit, 
d. 1825, married (2) Salina Hart, b. 1800, d. 1863.
2. Thomas Davidson, b. May 21, 1783, in N. C., d. Mar. 3, 1864, married 1815 Sarah Leeper Miller,
 b. Dec. 29, 1798, in S. C., d. Feb. 12, 1874, the daughter of James Miller. (Buried in Round Hill Cem.).
3. Sarah Davidson, d. Aug. 3, 1839, married Silas Sharp, b. 1779, d. 1851.
4. James Davidson.
5. Obediah Davidson.

Probably others. Legend has it that another daughter is Elizabeth Henrellia Davidson, b. June 13, 1789, 
d. Aug. 17, 1855, (Buried in McAdams Cem. near Richmond, TN) married John McAdams.

152.  Lenora Elizabeth DAVIDSON
Mother of James T. Miller  [email protected]
I'll see if I can explain all the stuff I have been told:  The Millers, Rogers, and Davidsons, all came 
out of the TN-NC-SC area about Revolutionary war times.  Davidsons and Rogers participarted, 
I don't know about the Millers.  The Millers did, about 1837 move from TN-NC-SC to Woodson's Rige, 
Mississippi.  They later moved to Sarepta, where, at the same time lived some Rogers.  My Rogers 
moved in 1850 from TN to Frisco.  The Millers claim ancestory to the Scots.  The Rogers claim ancestory 
to England. Mother always said we were "Scotch-Irish-English" which suggests the Davidsons might have 
been among the "Ulster Irish."  Following the War, Great Uncle Sam, a Methodist preacher, migrated to 
Frisco TX and there met up with the Rogers.  There might have been an earlier connection from the 
Sarepta period.  Grandfather David Miller, also a Methodist preacher, preached in Drew MS.  In Frisco, 
Great Uncle Sam's daughter, Maude, married Addison Rogers, the brother of my Grandmother, Dona 
Rogers Davidson.  A few years later, my teenage father, Joseph T, was sent from Drew to live in Frisco 
with Great Uncle Sam and Cousin Maude Rogers.  Inevitably, Joseph Miller met Lenora Elizabeth Davidson.  
We Millers migrated to California in 1923 where I grew up.  I remember mostly the Texas relatives, although 
several of Joe T's brothers and sisters visited us in California.  James T. Miller.

I've tried to record most of my experiences so our grandchildren won't be in
the dark, as we have been. When I realized a great change in my life's
philosophy, I wrote this little essay.
