 Welcome to Davidson County, home of Nashville (Music City USA), the State Capitol. Davidson County was created in 1783 by an Act of the North Carolina legislature; named in honor of William Lee Davidson (ca. 1746-1781), colonial soldier, Revolutionary War officer in the North Carolina Third, Fourth and Fifth Regiments who was killed in action at the Battle of Cowans Ford on the Catawba River in North Carolina. Davidson County is located in Middle Tennessee, one of the state's three "grand divisions." Davidson County was formed in 1783 from Washington County.
 We're on Facebook !!! At the request of members of the TNGenWeb Project, I have created a Davidson County Facebook group. It will provide a place for Davidson County researchers to interact, to ask questions and to share their knowledge and information. Please Join Us !! You Can Now Upload Information for this site!
Submit files, pictures, spreadsheets for inclusion on the TNGenWeb site. A huge thank you to Ed and Val Cox who worked tirelessly to get the census transcriptions up.
If you have not used the FamilySearch Research Wiki, it is a great place to find information and resources.
