Notes for: Josiah Davison

In addition to the nine children of Josiah & Mary listed here as contained in the authoritative "The Davissons" by Russell Lee Davisson, Jeff Whittaker reports another son, William Davisson, born ca 1734. Josiah Davison of Princeton, NJ, grandson of Daniel, changed the spelling of the family name to Davisson. Six of his eight sons adopted the double-S spelling. His six sons and grandsons carried the name to West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and beyond. ["The Davissons," flyleaf]
