The following is from The Heritage of Old Buncombe County, Doris Cline Ward, Editor (1981) at 190-191 (Article #307, "Major William and Margaret McConnell Davidson" by Mrs. Dorothy Hyde and Mr. William E. Bryson):
Major William Davidson was born October 10, 1736 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania [most likely in Ireland], the son of John and Mary Morrison Davidson and twin brother to Samuel. He married Margaret McConnell, daughter of John Sr. and Mary Winsley McConnell, who were among the first settlers of Rowan County, and during the Revolutionary War the family was living in Rowan County (now McDowell) at a place called the Glades, on the Catawba River. William was active in the fight for independence -- a member of the Committee on Safety and Independence, and a Lieutenant in Captain Houston's Company. He was in the military campaigns of 1780-81 when Cornwallis invaded North Carolina and fought at King's Mountain, during which time he rose to the rank of Major.
In 1785, several months after the death of his brother Samuel, William and his family crossed the mountains into the Swannanoa Valley and settled on a large, fertile farm near the mouth of Bee Tree River. On August 7, 1787, the first land grant in Buncombe County was issued to William and James Davidson for 600 acres "on both sides of the Savannah" (Swannanoa). William and Margaret were charter members of Piney Grove Presbyterian Church (now Swannanoa). At his death, Major Davidson was buried on his plantation, but later his body was moved to the Swannanoa Presbyterian Church Cemetery, and in July 1902 the D.A.R. erected a monument to his memory.
Their children were: Mary (1790-1842) m. Daniel Smith; John, b. 1764; Hugh and George (b. 1768); Jean (1772-1804) m. Thomas Davidson; Sallie (1774-1838) m. Joshua Williams; Ruth b. 1777 m. General Samuel Williams; William Mitchell (1780-1840) m. Elizabeth Vance; and Samuel Winslow Davidson. The Ruth Davidson Chapter DAR, Asheville, was named in honor of Ruth, above.
