Additional Information

Thomas R Davidson was born October 6, 1814 in Connellsville, Pennsylvania and died November 8, 1875 in Connellsville.

He was a child of William Davidson and Sarah Rogers. He married Isabella Austin about 1845.

The supplied notes describe Thomas as distinguished in professional and social life in Fayette County. He received his education at home and at Kenyon College in Ohio. After being admitted to the bar, he practiced law in Uniontown, where he married Isabella Austin, and shortly afterward located in Connellsville.

Thomas and Isabella had two children, Mary D Davidson and William A Davidson.

The 1882 publication of The History of Fayette County says his appearance was commanding, with a stature of six and one-half feet and a weight of 240 pounds. The supplied notes add that because Thomas attended Kenyon College, he may have spent time with George Hudson Davidson, who was also in Knox County at the same time.
