Appendix A  -  Notes


1.  William (William Henry?) DAVIDSON
"Laroice Davidson" 

The Davidson's on my maternal side, from Wayne County, Tennessee, are somewhat of a 
mystery.  I have done some research (mostly in Wayne Co.) on this family, but there is a 
lot I don't know.  I believe that they came from North Carolina (or possibly KY) in the early 
1800's to TN, and then moved on to Hardin, Wayne, and maybe Haywood Counties. I am a 
descendant of William Davidson (b. ? (about 179?); d. 1849, Wayne Co, TN) and his first 
(or "earlier") wife whose name is unknown.  William Davidson's earlier wife d. about 1840 
in Wayne Co, and William then m. Dicena McMahon Blackshear (1798, NC - 1886, TN), 
widow of Elijah Blackshear.  The Blackshear's came to Williamson Co, TN from Jones Co, 
NC.  The family names, Marrs, McMahon, and Blackshear are closely intertwined with this 
Davidson family in Wayne Co.  Bill Allen
