The Allisons were strict Presbyterians from Londonderry, Ulster, Ireland. They were instrumental in forming the Donegal Presbyterian Church, about 1723, in Lancaster/Chester County, PA.
Marriage: Page 281, states William Wray married Mary Galbreath (no date) they were related to Grisel Wray, wife of William Allison PAGE Presently, it is not known the name of either husband of Grizzell, but some researchers are investigating the possibility the 1st husband was William Allison of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The reason for this search is the record found in this book on page 177. It says that "James Maxfield assigns Martha Hamilton (a servant from Ireland on the ship Rundell)to William Allison of Lancaster County yoeman for four years from Sept. 21, 1746. Consideration 14,15 pounds customary dues."
