The name is spelled DAVISON in census records -- not DAVIDSON.

In looking at the 1880 census, W.J. Bridges is listed as the step-son of C.B. Davison so, yes, I would say that Rachel was married to a Bridges first. W.J. Bridges is 16 and Julia DAVISON is 15. I don't see a Mary E. Bridges in the household.

The census also says W.J.'s father was born in KY while C.B. Davison was born in S.C.

Here's the family in the 1870 census and it's obvious by Rachel's age that she must be a second wife to C.B. (Calvin) DAVISON because she's too young to have given birth to the two oldest boys, John and William, unless she was 12 yrs. old.
