Family
Father*Thomas George Davidson2 b. 1770, d. 1823
Birth*Ephraim Davidson was probably born in South Carolina or Kentucky.2,3 
Marriage*29 July 1820He married Elizabeth Simms on 29 July 1820 in Madison County, Illinois.4,5 
(Brother) Probate29 August 1828The estate of his brother, John Davidson, was opened for probate on 29 August 1828 in Madison County, Illinois. The deceased's brother, Ephraim Davidson, being duly sworn, told the probate judge that about the ninth day of August 1828 John Davidson departed this life without leaving any last will or testament. William Gillham, Judge of Probate, appointed the widow, Margaret (Gillham) Davidson, who was the judge's sister, as Administratrix, and their brother, Thomas Gillham as Administrator. A bond of $1,000 was paid by Margaret (Gillham) Davidson, Thomas Gillham and Ephraim Davidson as assurance that the estate would be handled ethically and legally.6,7,8 
(Appraiser) Administration20 December 1831John Gillham, Jacob Kensler and Ephraim Davidson were appointed by the judge of the probate court of Madison County on 20 December 1831 to appraise the estate of Barbara (Kinder) Heaton Laughlin, deceased. John was a brother-in-law of two of Barbara's daughters, Rebecca (Hayden) Gillham and Barbara (Heaton) Gillham, Jacob was the father-in-law of Barbara's son, John Heaton, and Ephraim was the future father-in-law of Barbara's son, James Laughlin.9,10,11,12 
(Appraiser) Inventory10 January 1832John Gillham, Jacob Kensler and Ephraim Davidson, acting as the probate court appointed appraisers of the estate of Barbara Laughlin, deceased, submitted their certified inventory list with appraised value of $560.75 to the probate court in Madison County on 10 January 1832. After items were sold and adjustments were made by her administrators, Thomas G. Lofton and Isaac Gillham Jr., the value of her estate had increased to $747.98½ and was submitted to the court on 4 April 1832 and filed by the court on 7 April 1832. Barbara's inventory analysis was confusing, both then and now, because the probates of Valentine Kinder and Alexander Laughlin, her father and husband, respectively, were at times being probated simultaneously with Barbara's. Her father's case had some legal issues which dragged things out. The paperwork of the three probates overlapped at times, and some documents were interchanged and misfiled by the court. Additionally, two probate packets were found for Barbara, causing her to be indexed twice. We found one folder with her surname spelled correctly and the other with it spelled "Langhlin."13,14 
(Purchaser) Estate Sale11 January 1832Ephraim was among the purchasers of items from the sale of the estate of Barbara Laughlin, deceased, lately of Madison County, Illinois, his name appearing on the Bill of Sale list dated 11 January 1832. Almost all of the purchasers were members of her immediate and extended family. Those on the list of the most interest to us for the purpose of this project were John Heaton, Valentine Heaton, Thomas G. Lofton, Isaac Gillham Jr., Fielding Jefferson Lewis, Gallatin Kinder, Samuel Kinder, Hiram Arthur, Thomas Gillham, Jacob Kensler, Isaac Braden, Ephraim Davidson and Margaret Letitia Davidson.14 
(Purchaser) Estate SaleAugust 1832Ephraim was among those relatives, friends and neighbors who purchased items from the estate of Jacob Kensler of Madison County, Illinois, in August 1832. The list of purchasers included the names of Jacob's widow, Mary Kensler, their son Jacob Kensler, the administrator of the estate, Thomas Gillham, the fourth party to the probate bond, James Botkin, Jacob's son-in-law, John Heaton, his brother, Valentine Heaton, Thomas G. Lofton, Ephraim Davidson and Hiram Arthur.15 
Death*12 February 1850He died on or about 12 February 1850.16
