Revolutionary War Patriots of Marshall County, Tennessee, compiled by Jane Wallace Alford, American Bicentennial Publication of Robert Lewis Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, 1976.
Captain Alexander Davidson was born before 1755 in Rowan County, North Carolina, and died in Bedford County (now Marshall) Tennessee, in 1818. He was the son of Revolutionary soldier, Joseph Davidson who was born ca. 1725 and died after September 15, 1795, in Statesville, North Carolina. Captain Davidson married Henrietta Clayton in Rowan County, in 1769. She was the daughter of George Clayton, b. 1723, d. 1786, and Sarah Lambert. Henrietta was born in 1745.
Captain Davidson was living in Rowan County, when the war began and records show he enlisted April 26, 1776. He was in Colonel Thomas Clark's Company, First North Carolina Battalion. Sketches of Western North Carolina by Hunter, gives a good account of his participation in the war: "Captain Alexander Davidson was one of the earliest settlers on the Western part of Rowan County (now Iredell). He took an active part in the Revolutionary struggle for independence. When Cornwallis was moving from Charleston toward North Carolina and General Gates was ordered to meet him, Governor Caswell, of North Carolina ordered a draft of men to strengthen Gates army. In response to this order the people in that part of Iredell County bordering on the Catawaba River below the Island Ford, assembled at a central point, afterwards known as Brown's Muster Ground, when a company was formed under the draft, and Alexander Davidson was elected Captain. Soon afterward Captain Davidson marched his company to Gates' rendezvous when that officer moved his army to the unfortunate and sanguinary field of Camden, South Carolina. In that disastrous engagement Captain Davidson's company took an active part, and the greater portion of them was cut to pieces."
Captain Davidson and his wife came early to Tennessee for he appears in Williamson County, Tennessee, court records as of August 2, 1805 and again in 1808. He and his wife are buried in Round Hill Cemetery at Belfast Tennessee in unmarked graves.

1. Joseph Davidson, b. Aug 15, 1779 in Iredell Co., NC, d. June 3 1859, married (1) Sarah Nesbit, d. 1825, married (2) Salina Hart, b. 1800, d. 1863.

3. Sarah Davidson, d Aug. 3, 1839, married Silas Sharp, b 1779, d 1851.
