1763-1824<br /> DAVIDSON, JAMES: was born in Banffshire, Scotland in 1763 and died 22 March 1824 in Oak Point, NB. He was the son of Alexander Davidson and Helen Robinson, who were married on 25 November 1757 in Rathven, Banffshire, Scotland. James married Annabella MacDonald on 14 November 1791. She was born 1764 and died 1804. Annabelle was the sister of Alexander MacDonald who built and lived in the stone house at Bartibogue, known today as the MacDonald Farm.<br /> <br /> After Annabelle’s death, James married Gertrude Savoy about 1810 in Bartibogue, NB. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amon Savoy. Gertrude, as a widow, age 58, was living with John and Anne Burchill in 1851.
