This is a genealogy that has been handed down to descendants...ELIZA MCDAVID
was my grandmother:

Page 151:

    "ELIZA JANE MCDAVID was born Feb. 7th, 1877, on Deer Creek, Carter
County, Ky. and died at 1811 Pasadena Ave., Long Beach, Calif. January 6th,
1946 - in her sleep.  She was a daughter of AMANDA RICE STURGILL (a daughter
of SOLOMON and REBECCA TOMPKINS STURGILL) born June 11, 1851 and died Feb.
21, 1891, and WILLIAM EDWARD MCDAVID, born Feb. 21, 1852 and died Nov. 15,
1913 of a cancer.

    He was the son of SAMUEL MCDAVID (born in Va. 1822, died in Deer Creek,
Carter County, Ky. in 1904) and ELIZABETH EASTHAM.  SAMUEL MCDAVID was a son
of GEORGE MCDAVID (born in Virginia in 1790 - died in Carter County, Ky. in
1862) and MARY BLEVINS.  GEORGE and MARY MCDAVID are buried on their old farm
above Willard on the Little Fork under a monument to their memory.  GEORGE
MCDAVID's father was PATRICK MCDAVID, born in Donegal County, Ireland, in
1752 - married MARTHA WILSON, daughter of Col. SAMUEL WILSON of Staunton, Va.
PATRICK MCDAVID was an American Revolutionary Soldier."

It has been said that MARY 'POLLY' BLEVINS was of full or part Cherokee
blood.  We have no solid proof of this.  I have a copy of a letter she wrote
to her sister, SALLEY BLEVINS who was married to JACOB RAMEY,  in 1857.  If
you would like a copy of it, I could mail it to you.  It is in her
handwriting.

We do not know her parents at this time.
