Parents are John Davidson and his wife Jane (whose maiden name was likely Tucker). William was a twin to Samuel Davidson. He married Margaret in 1758.
His first child, Mary McConnell "Polly" Davidson, was born 4 Oct 1760. She married Col. Daniel Smith
Suggested edit: Maj William was one of five sons of John and Jane Davidson who fought in the Revolution and his first cousin on his father's side was Gen William Lee Davidson who died at the Battle of Cowan's Ford. Contributor: KatieMac (46896687) •
