• Name	James Davidson  [1]
  Birth	5 Nov 1760	England
  Gender	Male
  Military Service	Revolutionary War veteran. Warfield gives the story about Dr. James "Davidson" Iglehart. This is verbatim: "The Igleharts came from Germany and located near Marlborough, Prince George County, in 1740. James Davidson came to Pennsylvania from England in 1775 and enlisted in the Pennsylvania regiment of the patriot army . . . He settled in Davidsonville, Anne Arundel County, dying in 1841. John Wilson Iglehart was born 1814 . . . . His son, James Davidson Iglehart, took his B.A. at St. John's College in 1872." Gravestone reads: "Born Nov. 5th in the year of our Lord 1760. Died Nov. 28th, 1841, aged 81 years and 23 days. He fought and bled for his country in the Revolutionary War and ___lested the courage of the bravest soldiers." DAR marker attached. He was awarded a pension on 16 Aug. 1832.  [2, 3]
  Death	28 Jan 1841	Davidsonville, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland
  Burial	All Hallows Chapel, Davidsonville, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland   [3]
  Origins
  Notes	Davidsonville was named after his son Thomas. This couple had 8 children. Warfield gives the story about Dr. James "Davidson" Iglehart. This is verbatim: "The Igleharts came from Germany and located near Marlborough, Prince George County, in 1740. James Davidson came to Pennsylvania from England in 1775 and enlisted in the Pennsylvania regiment of the patriot army . . . He settled in Davidsonville, Anne Arundel County, dying in 1841. John Wilson Iglehart was born 1814 . . . . His son, James Davidson Iglehart, took his B.A. at St. John's College in 1872." He obviously skips several generations of Igleharts here. And the middle name seems to be Wilson, not Davidson, according to the gravestone. [2]

• Histories

  The Revolutionary War This page collects people on this site who served in the Revolutionary War. Some are militia; some served in the Line troops. It includes both loyalists and patriots. There may well be others on the tree who should be included. Some could use more secure evidence: genealogical histories often say that someone "fought in the Revolution," but this can be family legend rather than fact. Sources are cited under each person's page. War and Pension records can be found on line at the National Archives. Genealogies can be ordered from the DAR and the SAR, but their lists only include those whom people have used to join, not all veterans.
