BIOGRAPHICAL:
"Albert Davidson was born in Tennessee. Not much is known of his early life, but after his father moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and Albert grew to manhood, he joined a company of intrepid pioneers and went out to the Oregon country. This was in 1844. He returned in 1846, so full of enthusiasm for the Willamette Valley, that he easily persuaded his father, James Davidson, to go back with him to the Oregon Territory, the next year. Who made up this party in 1847 we do not know, but in due time they arrived in Marion county, where the father and two sons, Albert and T. L., found five donation land claims. At that early date the pick of the claims were yet to choose from. These pioneers chose land just south of Salem. Albert Davidson settled near Salem and married Mary E. Munkers, a daughter of one of the early pioneers. Mary was a native of Maryland. Mr. Davidson was a republican as to politics and a very efficient, industrious farmer, choosing the life of an agriculturist over other professions he could have followed with equal success. Two children, Mary and T. C., were born to this union. The latter married Amney Gesner, a daughter of the pioneer, Alonzo Gesner."
