My great grand-father William Cruiser Davidson, pictured here with his wife Junia Fox Davidson, worked on the Biltmore Estate when it was being built as an engineer of some sort. They resided in the Oakley community of Buncombe County. We are descended from the Davidson family which first settled the Buncombe County NC area.
I found this picture of George Cecil after William's death taken at the Biltmore House in 1926. It must have been given to him when he worked on the estate by George's father, John Cecil.
