Note that this image is of William Lee Davidson’s youngest son who bears the same name and who donated the land on which Davidson College was built. This image is not the General but has been attributed to him quite often. I am a descendant of Brigadier General William Lee Davidson and have studied my family’s history extensively. No image of Brig. General William Lee Davidson exists. Please correct the posting of this image.

Sourcing for this image is needed to further clarify which William Lee Davidson is depicted in the portrait. G. Moore (talk) 23:30, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
