Hey Gary....we have corresponded before concerning the family of the William Brown in Essex Co., VA who married Elizabeth Allen (and the association of that family with the Landrum and Cloutson families).
While I have not seen the original of the Will of the Robert Allison mentioned in your post, I just wanted to add that Robert Allison's daughter Mary Allison married John Davison, Senior.John Davison, Senior fathered a son who was named John Davison, Junior, and John "Junior" appeared with his father in a list of men associated with a road order in Augusta Co., VA in 1762-1763.If John "Junior" was an "adult" at that time, I have to wonder if Mary Allison was the SECOND wife of John Davison, Senior (since Mary Allison was apparently not born until the early-mid-1740s).As I assume you know, Robert Allison was married to a Hannah McClure.
There was a Michael McClure who married a Nancy Davison/Davidson in Botetourt Co., VA in 1805.Nancy was a daughter of a Thomas Davison, and we know that Thomas was a member of DNA "Family 7" at www.davidsongenes.org.It is highly unlikely that this Thomas Davison (originally from PA; he came into Botetourt from the Campbell Co., VA area around 1800)) was related to the above John Davison, Senior and Junior (we currently have no DNA donor from this last family).Do you know the ancestry/lineage of this Michael McClure?Thanks.
By the way, I see that you have also researched the McCorkle family.A daughter of William Davidson, Senior (William died about 1812 in Botetourt Co., VA; he was a member of DNA "Family 16," per a recent DNA test) and Martha Baker named Ginny/Jane Davidson married a Mr. McCorkle.Mrs. Ginny (Davidson) McCorkle's husband died around 1815, and Ginny's brother William Davidson, Junior (who had married a daughter of the above-referenced John Davison and Mary Allison in 1799 in Rockbridge Co., VA) took-in the McCorkle children.I have no idea, however, if this McCorkle family is part of the family in which you were interested.
