Davidson, John

[Cindysw]

Hoping to find a PARISH for John Davidson (1782-), wife Jane (Something) Davidson (1782) and the 7 children they immigrated to St John, New Brunswick, Canada with.

John's land petition reads born in Ireland, immigrated 9 months ago, at 44 years old, with wife & 7 children, land was granted in St John Co, NB in Oct 1826. Religion is C of E.

His first 7 children are; Mary (abt. 1808), Sarah (abt. 1809), James (abt. 1812), William Judson (abt. 1816), Lucy (abt. 1818), John (abt. 1822) and ELEANOR (1823) my 3rd. great-grandmother. Their youngest daughter REBECCA born in New Brunswick is my 2nd. great-grandmother.

John's tombstone reads John Davidson native of Fermanagh, Ireland, died 1 Sep 1854 at 72 years.

I posted on another forum in error, hope this is not repetitive!

I found a record that states her name is Something, funny if it was.

What was the record? was it a submitted tree? (perhaps the person didn't know her maiden name and put that instead. Often 'Unknown' appears in cases like this but I have seen 'Someone' for unknown name)

Jane Something is written on her son's marriage record.
I have often seen unknown, or husband's surname but that is the first time I have seen Something.
Highly unlikely it her last name.
