Note: George Davidson married "Creasey" McDearmon, daughter of Dudley McDearmon,
February 9, 1790. She was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, in the
latter
half of 1768 or the first half of 1769. (She was 81 years old in the 1850
census; so she was about 21 when she married George Davidson; and 70 when
he
died in 1838.) John Brackett (Sarah's brother) was Surety.
We do not know exactly when George and Lucretia moved their family from
Virginia
to Tennessee. Three of their children, and perhaps four or more, were
born in
Virginia; but their last child, Susan, was born in Maury County,
Tennessee, in
1816. The family must have been in Maury County, however, in September,
1814,
when two sons, Joshua and Bracket, volunteered for six months service in
the War
of 1812. Bracket, the younger, was 17--nearing his 18th birthday
(November 17).
Bracket was wounded "on the evening of December 23, 1814, being engaged
with the
enemy at or near a place called New Orleans."
The County records of land deeds show that their father, George Davidson,
bought
100 acres May 20, 1816, from Samuel Polk for $200. The land was on Flat
Creek,
a tributary to Duck Creek, in northeastern Maury County.
Samuel Polk's son, James Knox Polk, became the 11th President of the
United
States, serving one term (1845-1849). The Polks had lived in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina, and were neighbors (related by marriage) to the
Davidson
families of that county and Iredell. Tradition is that the Davidsons of
North
Carolina and Prince Edward County, Virginia, were closely related; but
exactly
how is not known.
George Davidson died in 1838, in Maury County, Tennessee. He must have
been
buried near his home but there is no stone extant. Lucretia was 69 or 70
when
George died. Their sons, Joshua and Bracket, had moved to Missouri.
Page 343 of November, 1838, Court reads: On motion and it appearing to
the
satisfaction of the Court that George Davidson, late of Maury County is
dead and
that he died in said County of Maury intestate leaving effects in said
County of
Maury to be administered. It is therefore ordered by the Court that
letters of
administration on the estate of said deceased issue to Henry W.
Derryberry &
Robert A. Glenn who executed bond in the sum of four thousand dollars with
William Swain and David Fogliman their securities who were selected by
the Court
as sufficient security and thereupon said Henry W. Derryberry and Robert
A.
Glenn were duly qualified as administrators of said deceased and received
letters of administration.
Page 345 reads: Ordered by the Court that Wiley Brown, John Lee & Hosea
Bateman
be appointed commissioners to lay off one years provisions for Lucretia
Davidson, widow of George Davidson deceased & make report to the next
term of
this Court.
Page 351 reads: H.W. Derryberry one of the administrators of George
Davidson
deceased returned into Court an inventory on amount of sales of the
property of
the estate of said dec'd which were received by the Court & ordered to be
recorded.
Page 353 reads: The commissioners appointed to lay off one years
provision to
Lucretia Davidson widow of George Davidson dec'd returned to December
Court 1838
an assignment of a years provision which was approved by the Court &
ordered to
be recorded.
Page 376 reads: Henry W. Derryberry one of the administrators of the
Estate of
George Davidson dec'd returned an account of sale of a Negro girl Solo
under an
order of the Circuit Court which was received by the Court and ordered to
be
recorded. (This was ordered on February 1839.)

Sixteen years, five months, and nine days after May 15, 1809, the 200
acres on
Little Sandy Creek where Joshua Davidson (sic) and his wife, Sarah, and
their
nine children had lived, was sold at Public Auction-November 24, 1825!
(That
Indenture spelled Sarah's and Joshua's name DAVISON five times. This
probably
is the document which caused Bracket Davidson-Davison to drop the second
'd'
from the family name, as he did in 1830 while he still lived in Maury
County,
Tennessee. Bracket, born November 17, 1796, in Prince Edward County,
Virginia,
was a grandson of Joshua Senior and Sarah Brackett Davison; and the
second son
of George and Lucretia McDearmon Davidson.)
Guardian to daughters of his sister Nancy (Lucy and Hannah).

BRACKET DAVIDSON-DAVISON AND HIS FAMILY (1796-1863)
Brackett Davidson (as spelled in his grandmother, Sarah's 1808 Will) was
born in
Prince Edward County, Virginia, November 17, 1796. He was the second son
of
George Davidson and Lucretia McDearmon, both of whom were born in Prince
Edward
County. Bracket's parents moved from Virginia to Maury (pronounced Murry)
County, Tennessee, sometime after his grandmother died in 1809. Maury
County
had been formed in 1807 (The final settlement of Sarah Brackett
Davidson's Will,
in 1825, spelled the family name Davison, and may have been the reason
Bracket
dropped the second d.)
Bracket, and his older brother Joshua (1793-1850), served in the War of
1812
at the age of 15-16.
Brackett was also one of the largest slave-owners on Polk/Callas Co in
1840 census.
Pension records in the National Archives Building, Washington, D.C., show
that
Bracket, nearing his 18th birthday, volunteered September 27, 1814, in
Maury
County for a term of six months. He was assigned to Captain James
McMahon's
Company (also refereed to at various times as Captain Samuel Crawford's
Company)
of Mounted Gunmen in the service of the United States. His company
belonged to
the First Regiment, commanded by Colonel Dyer. The record reads:
"On the evening of December 23, 1814, being engaged in a battle with the
enemy
at or near a place called New Orleans" Bracket "received a ball in his
left
hand". He was honorably discharged at Nashville, Tennessee, on April 27,
1815
having been declared "three-fourths disabled from obtaining his
subsistence by
manual labor", signed by David C. Kerr, Surgeon of the U.S. Hospital.
Bracket,
therefore received a small pension for the rest of his life.
The Battle of New Orleans was one of the greatest American victories
against the
British. Unfortunately, it was fought after the peace treaty had been
signed in
England, but before General Andrew Jackson and the British attackers got
the
word.
The British had burned Washington, D.C., August 14, 1814; and the British
vessels and troops sailed southward into the Gulf of Mexico for attacks
along
the southern coast of the U.S. General Jackson was the commander of the
Tennessee, Louisiana, and Mississippi Territory forces. In late August
he asked
Tennessee Governor Blount to send the Brigade of Tennessee Mounted
Militiamen,
without delay. Bracket Davidson had been in the service little more than
a week
when he, among 2, 000 men assembled in Fayetteville under Brigadier
General John
Coffee who, like Bracket, was a native of Prince Edward County,
Virginia. At
dawn October 5th, they began the long ride to Camp Gaines, 70 miles north
of
Mobile. The brigade traveled the four hundred seventy miles in eighteen
days.
General Jackson then sent Coffee and his mounted riflemen westward to the
Mouth
of Sandy Creek, north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The British, however,
were
outfitting a fleet of fifty vessels at Negril Bay, Jamaica, for the
attack on
New Orleans. So Jackson had to order Coffee to make a forced mara

pension records. He married Mary McDearmon, daughter of Dudley Mcdearmon
(and
grand-daughter of Michael McDearmon and his wife Katherine) September 26,
1786
(though the license was issued July 13).
Joshua was given Virginia Warrant 3089 for land in the Ohio District,
August 8, 1782, later the state of Kentucky. In 1834, still resident in
Fleming County, Kentucky, Joshua made deposition in Court that John
Baldwin was a Revolutinary soldier, born in 1762 in Amelia County,
Virginia, serving in 1780 and 1781/ The said John became Josuja's
brother-in-law in 1791(marrying the youngest sister, Sally).
