Dear Jim,
I'm responding to your recent post on the Allison family GenForum page
concerning the Allison family originally of Augusta Co., VA.
I recently learned of a family Bible record stating that the maiden name of
my g-g-g-g grandmother was Jane Allison (1771-1854). Jane was born in
Virginia, married to David Gray (1768-1824), and lived most of her adult
life in Kentucky. I don't know where in Virginia either one came fr
who their parents were.
Some circumstantial evidence suggests that Jane could be the daugher of
Charles Allison and Jane Campbell.
1. There is a gap in Charles and Jane Allison's children between Mary b.
1769, and Sarah, b. 1776, into which Jane, b. 1771, would conveniently fit.
2. John's wife was Anna Gray - perhaps David's sister.
3. According to land records, David Gray and John Allison lived next
to each other in Nicholas County KY.
4. Charles and Jane's daughter Mary Allison married Lawrence
Harrison, also David Gray's neighbor.
5. John had a son named "David Gray Allison."
6. David named one of his sons "William Campbell Gray," Campbell
being the maiden name of Jane's mother. One source I've seen gives William
Campbell as the name of the father of Jane Campbell Allison.
I've written to Susan Allison Willmott, and she does not know whether Jane
Allison Gray was a daughter of Charles Allison.
I am interested in learning if you have any information that would help us
trace Jane Allison Gray's ancestry. I would also like to know what the
source is for saying that John Allison's wife was named Anna Gray.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks,
- Warren Gray
