The DAVIDSON<\/strong> family history is an interesting one, complete with a surname change from DAVIS<\/strong> to DAVIDSON<\/strong>. We believe there are many descendants in other parts of the country\u00a0 who might be related — it is hoped we find them some day.<\/p>\n

James Davis<\/strong> was born in Northern Ireland 1794, we believe and arrived in Nova Scotia between 1825-1832. He was accompanied by his wife, Nancy Ann KIRKER<\/span><\/strong>, born 1796,d.o. John Kirker<\/strong>. James and Nancy Davis had one son before they came to Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n

Nancy\u2019s brother, James Kirker<\/strong>, born 1785, also arrived with them and married Mary Smith<\/span><\/strong>, born 1804, Necum Teuch, Halifax County, Nova Scotia<\/a>. James Kirker was granted land at Quoddy<\/a> — it is not known if all lived together, or if there were separate grants of land.<\/p>\n

When James Davis<\/strong> died Feb 24, 1881 at Quoddy, he was buried on property owned by James Kirker and known as \u201cKirker\u2019s Field<\/span>\u201d. Nancy (Kirker) Davis<\/strong> died after 1881 at Ecum Secum, Guysborough County <\/a>— her body was transported by boat to\u00a0Quoddy for burial beside her husband. At the present time, the land known as \u201cKirker\u2019s Field<\/span>\u201d is overgrown and with no trace of graves.<\/p>\n
