"Copies through courtesy of State Library 5/21/75." The following is my interpretation of the
information found on those pages. My best effort was made at interpreting the writing; however,
I do not guarantee that my work is error-free. Many of the folks listed in these pages are

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/d/Davidson_Family
Adam Brevard Davidson (1808-1896), planter and developer, a
son of John Davidson, Jr., and his wife Sarah Harper Brevard
Davidson, was born at Rural Hill Plantation in Mecklenburg
County, N.C., built by Adam Brevard's grandfather, John Davidson
(d. 1832). Together with his father, Adam Brevard Davidson owned
about five thousand acres and fifty or sixty slaves in the
Hopewell section of Mecklenburg. When construction of Davidson
College was begun in 1836, on land belonging to his cousin and
uncle-in-law William Lee Davidson, Adam Brevard contracted for
and supplied the lumber for the early buildings. All lumber was
sawed at his own mills.
On 20 April 1836, in Springfield, York County, S.C., Adam
Brevard Davidson married Mary Laura Springs (1813-1872), daughter
of John Springs III. She had attended the Moravian Academy at
Salem, N.C., and the select school of Madam Sarazin in
Philadelphia. Adam Brevard and Mary had fifteen children. Mary
died in 1872, and Davidson married Cornelia C. Elmore (1835-1921)
of Columbia, S.C., daughter of U.S. Senator Franklin Harper
Elmore, in 1876.
Davidson was elected trustee of Davidson College in 1844 and
served with few interruptions until 1877. Two of his sons were
educated at the college: Robert, who died as a result of
mistreatment in a northern prison during the Civil War, and
Baxter, who was, at his death, the largest single donor in the
college's history.
Adam Brevard Davidson was a conspicuously successful planter.
He was president of the Mecklenburg Agricultural Society for
fifteen years before the Civil War and served the Society
intermittently in various capacities until the organization
society was disbanded after the Confederate defeat.
