• Notes

  According to some Morrison family data that has not been corraborated by documentation, Jane Tucker married John Davidson in Ireland and began raising a family. About 1737, they came to America landing in Philadelphia and first settling in Beverly Manor, Augusta Co., VA. About 1748, John Davidson and son George went to North Carolina to survey for new land in what is now Iredell County. Within a year, John Davidson was dead, and his wife remarried to a William Morrison. The Legend There is a tale that has been documented that does not have any basis in known fact. According to family tradition, Margaret - a young, unmarried Irish Catholic girl, became enamored to a Mister Morrison, a young unmarried, Irish Protestant.  Her father, an ardent Catholic, opposed the marriage, and the young couple ran away, were married, and embarked for America. Mister Morrison died on the way and his young widow reached Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in a destitute condition. On board, they were befriended by John Davidson, a young batchelor, who was also emigrating to America from Ireland on the same ship.  His sympathy was awakened in behalf of the young widow, especially, when on their arrival at Philadelphia, he learned of her necessitous condition. He procured for her a home with a family of some of his friends and and advanced her some money to defray her expenses in the interval.  On returning to the city after several months, he learned that her family had refused her any aid and that she had given birth to a son of her marriage which was adding to her distress.  Again, he came to her relief, and eventually that ripened into affection.  They were married and raised a family.
