Tennessee Marriage Index
Spouse 1:Braden, Nancy
Spouse 2:Davidson, James
Marriage Date:18 Nov 1820
Marriage Location:Tennessee
Grainger County
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From York's Fentress County Tennessee, Bruce York's ancestry.com tree:

From a letter by Abner 's widow, Anney Davidson, to the State of Tennessee when she was trying to obtain a pension on Abner's War of 1812 service; states: She lived at the same place near James Davidson, brother of said Abner and has for about 45 years. Date of letter 19 April 1853. James was apparently missed by the census taker or no one was home at the time the census taker came around. James lived next door to Anne Davidson Evans, daughter of his brother, Joseph Davidson. Apparently the Davidson brother's family were a close knit group. Why James' wife was not mentioned in the 1850 census is only a guess. Obviously she had either died or they had separated. No records are available for that period of time. Since James married Ellender Garland 6 June 1798, she would have been the mother of his children.
Court actions and wills probated during the mid 1850's give rise to some internal problems in the family of James. Since Sarah Ann's family seem to be the only part of James' family in the area and little information was available concerning James' family tends to lean toward the above.

If Ellender was out of the picture and James' marriage to Nancy Braden is correct, probalby cause for James to disperse his property. Nancy died in the early 1850's. James gave some of his property to his heirs in 1858.
In March 1856, James N. Davidson, of Fentress Co, TN nominated and appointed Eli Hatfield of the afore said county and state my true and lawful attorney for me and in my name instruct and prosecute final judgement any suit or suites that may be necessary for the purpose of receiving property, monies profits in the said county of Fentress. 12 March 1856. Page261 Book G.
Sarah Evans, daughter of James, died in 1856. Why did all the legal work take place after her death?
James often went on trips to Alabama, Georgia, and Arkansas, along with his brothers, Joseph and Abner, to trade mules.
James Davidson was known in and around Fentress area as "Big". According to army records when he was drafted into the army in January 1814 to March 15 1814, he was six foot four inches and weighed two hundred forty pounds. At that time he would have been about 39-40 years of age.
It is known that he was the eldest of five brothers we are interested in and was born about 1774-1780. He is listed in the 1850 Fentress census as 75 years making him born about 1775. In 1840 he listed as between 60-70 which would make him born beween 1770-1780, but the 1830 he was listed between 40-50 which would put him between 1780-1790. When applying for bounty land in Alabama he lists himself 79 in 1855, he would be born in 1776. In 1871 whe he lists himself as 90 years of age would make him born around 1781. At least he was an old man when applying for bounty land again.

Information came from the book, "History of the Davidon Family"by Don L. Ford.
