Please submit a query/query for my great-great-grandfather, Daniel Davidson, B. about 1786--D. 3-5-1865 and his wife Mary Enochs who died at Carlisle, 6-13-1890 at aged 90 years old. Need the name of Daniel's father and where in Virginia Daniel was born. Also need to know where Daniel and Mary Enochs were married. She was the daughter of Thomas Enochs and Nancy Bryan, both of Rowan Co., N.C. I have information on the Enochs as they came to Jefferson Co., Ky. about 1800. All of these people were in Jefferson Co., Ky. records in the 1810 census. Daniel and Mary had three small children. They sold their land on Floyd's Fork and came to Carlisle about 1815 where they settled and raised a family of ten children. The Davidson cemetery at Carlisle was destroyed and the Sullivan county court house burned in 1850, there fore finding records are next to impossible. If any one sharing a collateral line can help, please do so. Thanks! Mary Davidson Pielemeier, 4513 Lockerbie Court, Carmel Indiana 46033.
