Research Comment:

Mary's maiden name appears to be Allison. Her great granddaughter, Ann Trigg Bradley (Mrs. Ivie McNees), submitted records taken from what she reported as John Davis' Bible (printed by the Church of Scotland in 1768) to the National Genealogical Society Quarterly in 1934. She annotated the submission with the statement that John married first Mary Allison and second Mary Curry. Mary's son James Davis named a son James Allison Davis. Mary's granddaughter, Hannah (Moffett) Hawk (daughter of Mary's daughter Isabel) named a son Robert Moffett Allison Hawk. The Allison name is not otherwise explained in either family.1

  1. [S1708] Mrs. Ivie McNees, "Davis Records," National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Volume XXII, No. 2 (June 1934): 36. Transcribed entry from religious record printed in 1768 lists John and Mary Davis's dates of birth followed by the names and dates of birth for each of their children (also John's first child from his second marriage). The NGS submission included an annotation, presumably by Mrs. McNees that stated: "John Davis md. 1st Mary Allison; md 2nd Mary Curry (said to be a widow) in 1786."
