ELIJAH DAVIDSON, probably a son of the old pioneer preacher, Alexander 
Davidson, united with Mt. Tabor church, in Barren county, in 1801.  He 
was probably baptized by Carter Tarrant, who was then pastor of that 
church.  He warmly espoused the cause of the Emancipationists, and, with 
Elder John Murphy, in 1808, declared non-fellowship for the church, 
because it tolerated slavery.  Two years later, he returned to the 
church, and was restored to fellowship.  He was elected deacon, in 1812, 
licensed to preach in 1820, and ordained, in 1824.  It is probably that 
he lived to preach only a few years.  An extensive family connection, of 
his name, still resides in Barren, and the surrounding counties.  Of 
this family, John Davidson was a Baptist preacher, at Holly Springs and 
New Hope churches, from 1823 to 1827.
