In Reply to: my long lost DAVISON Family of OHIO Where Are You? by Vicki Davison-Hunt of 1379

I don't think that they are lost. I have found your James R Davison in the 1920 census. It says he was 43 yrs old and married to a Hilda probably her nickname. Hilda is 46 years old and they have Perry age 20, Beula age 18, Hazel age 14, Elwood age 12, Odin age 11, and Genva age 7. Probably a few misspelled names on this list but they are living in Marion, Noble Co. Ohio in 1920. It says that James R was born in Ohio. His wife and all children were born in Ohio.

1900 census has this:
Members: Name Age Marion, Noble Ohio
Pary Rossiter 73 b Oct 1826 Looks like Alwilda's Dad lives with them in the 1900 census he was born in Ohio and his parents were both born in Penn
James R Davison 24
Alwilda Davison 26
Mary L Davison 2
James P R Davison 1 This is Perry James Perry R

1910 census has this
Members: Name Age
James R Davison 33
Alwilda Davison 36
Mary L Davison 12
James P Davison 11
Jessie B Davison 8
Blazel l Davison 4
Gustin E Davison 3
Elcie H Davison 1
Notice all these crazy spellings for their names. THis is what makes genealogy so crazy...

1920 census has it:
Name Age
James R Davison 43
Hilda Davison 46
Perry Davison 20
Beula Davison 18
Hazel Davison 14
Elwood Davison 12
Odin Davison 11
Genya Davison 7

1930 census has this:
Name Age
J R Davidson 53
Wilda Davidson 56
Buelah Davidson 28
Geneva O Davidson 17
Note the misspelling of the last name. I can't tell you how many times my grandmother kept telling me that their last name was not Davidson but people just wouldn't spell it the way they told them to spell it.

Now all you have to do is go backwards from Pary or Perry Rossiter b Ohio 1826 his parents were from Pennsylvania and you will have started a nice family tree. Good Luck, Cheri Hartmann granddaughter of Birdie Davison Sams br MS 1893 died 1998 105 yrs of age and grgrandaughter of Granville S Davison born in Ripley Co Ohio 1859
