Notes:

(I remember talking to my old friend Alex (Sandy) Imlay about the early history of the church and mentioning the fact that Mr. Mitchell was an elder of the Auld Kirk. Sandy at once protested, saying he belonged to the other party. I quietly said that I was speaking of a time when there was no other party').

James Davidson came to Winterbourne in 1834, from Aberdeen where he had been engaged in the cotton manufacturing. He was born at Walthamstow, Essex, England, on the 31st of March 1776. His wife was Elspet Blackhall, born at Aberdeen in 1777.

The family lived in a log house on the same lot as that upon which now stands the Rev. A. M. Hamilton's residence. This was known as Lower Woolwich post office while the Davidson's had it, and old Captain Smith carried the mail twice a week from Preston. The log house was pulled down about the year 1860 by our old friend Sandy Imlay, who is now living in Winterbourne.
