Person:John Davison (11)

Did John Davison marry Ann Harrison?

Some researchers have stated that Ann Harrison's first husband was a John Davison, but there does not appear to be any records in Chalkley's to support this. It is certainly possible that the "Ann" listed in the record below, who is actually Ann Davison (who married Reuben Moore), may have confused some researchers:

• Page 296.--23d August, 1758. John Harrison, Jr.'s will, yeoman-- Brother Zebulon, eldest son of Jno. Harrison, tract on Smith's Creek, 400 acres; to Phel Harrison, eldest daughter of Zebulon; to sister Phebe Moore, and her daughter; Ann Davison, and to her daughters; Phebe Davison; to brother, Reuben. Executors, brothers Zebulon and Reuben. Teste: Jonathan Douglass, Jno. Hopkins, James Breame (?). Proved, 15th November, 1763, by Jno. Hopkins, and 16th November, 1763, by Jonathan Douglass. Executors qualified (Zebulon's mark ), with Danl. Love, Robt. Cravens.

Additional research is needed to determine if Ann Harrison did actually marry a John Davidson prior to her marriage to Jonathan Langdon.
