Notes: Davidson was accused by 4 people (2 married couples) of being a witch. She denied the accusations, which seem vague, and presbytery allowed her to call witnesses to support her counter claim of slander. There seems to have been a disagreement between her and one of the other women. No further action appears to have been taken.
