I have tried to keep the verbage to a minimum so as not to confuse those who might be new to looking at their Stacy-Davison connections. New Davison researches seem to find this lineage quickly and think they have a whole new line already documented and proven that goes back to Ireland in the 1600s. Unfortunately that is not the case. Hopefully the below will help others in understanding the issues surrounding James Davison I and his lineage. The ancestry of James Davison I has yet to be determined.
Research is in progress.
Samuel, the son of John and Jane, was born 10 Oct. 1736 according to researcher and publisher Robert Stephens Hand. This lineage for James Davison I is inaccurate. Furthermore, some current researchers feel that Mr. Hand did not sufficiently prove that John Davidson of Armagh was actually the son of William. They are not disputing John as son of William, just that it may not have been conclusively proven. No records have been located to link the James Davison of Russell Co., Va., to the family of John and Jane Davison.
