Two Levi Davidsons are in the Perry County TN 1830 Census (p.230 & 231) - both between 30-40 years of age. Neither one appears to have a living spouse.
By 1850, Levi had married Sarah Lamberson - they probably married about 1839 in Perry Co TN. Children Rachel, Abraham & Cyrus that appear in 1850 were no doubt children of the first wife and there could have been others.
