Research Notes
The original marriage record spells Rachel's last name as Davison. It appears they ran out of room to spell Davison. It appears someone misread the name as Davis and this has been used by everyone since then. Both Davis and Davison names should be rsearched, but the name hasn't been changed from Davis to Davison in this record. Need others to weigh in.
