"Chalmers Gaston Davidson" of Davidson College and Revolutionary soldier Robert Knox and Horseshoes

Was Professor Davidson a descendant of Robert Knox or of Thomas Bell? Why would he have requested information about Robert Knox if he were not a descendant? Is he a cousin?

CGD's book on his distinguished ancestor William Lee Davidson is very pricey but I may have to buy it.

See Daniel W. Barefoot, TOURING NORTH CAROLINA'S REVOLUTIONARY WAR SITES.

So Professor Davidson had a distinguished career as college librarian and history professor and is remembered now because in 1953 he blew the last two points in a game of horseshoes.

So he clutched and blew the points: was he a cousin and is this to be expected?

P. S. I ordered his book from Amazon.
