In 1797 he applied for a Letter of Dismissal (see church minutes
on microfilm at Duke University Library, Winston-Salem, N.C.)
and with his family, grown sons, and other members of the
congregation removed to Warren Co. Ky. c. 1797.
Alexander Davidson served as the Warren County delegate to the
Second Constitutional Convention of Kentucky. He settled on
Beaver Creek, near Glasgow, in the area which became part of
Barren County in 1798, and established churches in the area.
His will, dated June 15, 1811 and probated in 1818, named 19
children and a stepchild. Estate documents show that eight were
children of his first marriage, and
eleven, and a stepdaughter, of his second. His widow, Mary Ellis
Davidson, survived until 1849.
