______________
A few months after the murder of Samuel Davidson, other frontiersmen, among whom were is twin brother, William, and his brother-in-law John Alexander and wife (sister of Samuel Davidson), and James Alexander (son of John and Rachel Davidson) and family and Thomas Alexander (another son of John and Rachel Davidson) and family, came from the country on the waters of the Catawba River in North Carolina, through Swannanoa Gap and formed at the mouth of Bee Tree Creek, a tributary of Swannanoa River, the first white settlement west of the Blue Ridge in what is now North Carolina. This became known in history as the "Swannanoa Settlement." This was within a little over a mile of the grave of Samuel Davidson, for which they and their descendants have ever since carefully afforded protection.
