Alison DAVIDSON ^2,6

   Another name for Alison was Aly.

  General Notes:

Family saying:
As a large family, meals could get out of hand. Often relatives, such as Edward Coon's boys, would stop in to visit (and eat). Alison would tell the family, F.H.B. , her code for Family Hold Back, letting them know not eat too much so there would be enough to go around.

  Research Notes:

"I found Alison on the census and knew she emigrated from Canada . She and Robert married in Toronto on September 29, 1881. Robert William Coon was 27, lists New York State as his birthplace. His parents were Robert W. and Catherine Coon. Allison was 24, born in Toronto to Duncan and Elizabeth(Fisher) Davidson. Robert was Lutheran and Allison, Congregational. They were married by Joseph Wild. Their witnesses were Willett F Caey and Amelia Jettie Davis (this was my great grandmother's sister). As, you already know Robert was a carpenter.
Allison's brother , Edward Sylvester Davidson was a gold beater. My grandfather was his eldest son. They came to Chicago 1887."
