First Record of Josiah

    The first record of Josiah's name that I've seen was a copy of page  from "Gibson County, Indiana Marriage Application Book 1882-1890".  " Jas. T. Davidson", of Princeton, Indiana, listed his father as "Josiah Davison" and his mother as "Sarah Todd" in this book.   James said he was born in Xenia, Ohio.  So in the 1820 Greene County, Ohio census I found a Josiah Davisson, age 16-26, and a female age 16-26, living with another male age 26-44.   The marriage records of Greene County, Ohio show Josiah Davisson and Sarah Todd were joined  on 11 May 1819 in Greene Co. by Robert Armstrong.
