Asa descendant of Jane Jameson Bird Davis, maybe I can clear up some things. Jane (sometimes written as pronounced..Jean but its the same person) was the daughter of Thomas Jameson and his wife Hannah Taggart who lived on Snow Creek in Franklin County VA just over the line from Henry County. A near neighbor was the Davis family. Issac Davis (my ancestor) married the young widow of Abner Bird, ie Jane Jameson Bird. At that time she had a few kids by Abner and was living with her parents apparently. So...Abner was the DEAD first husband of Jane/Jean. I have the record of Jane's marriage to Abner as well as the record of her later marriage to Issac Davis. Williamson Davis was a cousin of Issac's who was from Charles Co. Maryland which is the same place Issac's father, Charles Davis was from before he settled on Reed (aka Reedy) Creek in Henry Co.VA with his family.Jean/Jane is NOT the daughter of John Jameson/Jamison. Significantly, Jane gave one of her sons the middle name Taggart (after her mother, Thomas Jameson's wife). This information is in a variety of well documented family trees. If you want more,I have more.
