In Prince Edward Co., VA the eldest daughter of George Ewing and Catherine Lawson Ewing, Mary, had married Richard Davidson. A Mary Davidson along with a John Davidson and a William Davidson witnessed Deed Book #6 page 354 when James Ewing, Sr. sold 150acres to Samuel Ewing (we believe his eldest son. See Chapter XXVIII). Richard Davidson was, probably, a son of a John Davidson who died in Prince Edward Co. VA and left a will dated 13 March 1754. He names sons, William, Richard, Joshua, Daniel, George, Ambrous and daughter Elizabeth. Richard Davidson was in The Revolutionary War and died on the way home to Prince Edward Co., VA in 1783. This information is from Vol. #25 of The VIRGINIA GENEALOGIST page 183 titled “British Mercantile Claims, or Claims of Spiers, Bowman & Co. at their Prince Edward Store in 1802.” Page 183 has numerous statements re indebtedness and one reads “Richard Davidson, dec £.6.10.3½ died d before 1783 and his family removed to Kentucky with sufficient estate. Information re James Ewing, Sr. quoted in the previous chapter is also in that page. Daniel Davidson’s “Claim to be withdrawn.
