Capt. Paul Davison of Sullivan's Army and his brother-in-law, Jonathan Gould, explored and then settled in Indian territory in 1788, in what is now known as Lima, NY. They built a log cabin, the first white man's home in the Genesee Valley. In the spring of 1789, the two men traveled back to the Susquehanna are in CT and brought back the Davison family, consisting of his wife Sally Gould Davison, their 2 children, his mother-in-law, Abigail Kingsbury (Gould) Abbott and Asabel Burchard.
They all settled in the cabin that was built. In 1790, Abigail Kingsbury (Gould) Abbott died, becoming the first death of the newly settled Genesee Valley. In 1791 Lovinia was born to her parents, Paul and Sally Davison, becoming the first child born in the new territory.
