Dear Listers, I apologize for not entering the man's name in the body of the e-mail. His name was Benjamin DAVISON or DAVISSON. He was born in New York according to the Information for him on the 1860 Census. Also living in Galesburg was a young man Aria DAVISSON or DAVISON, who may be another son to Benjamin. (Ancestry.com lists the young man's name, as Greg, but it is Aria.) The occupation of Benjamin was that of a tintype artist or an early photographer. Would someone please do a lookup for me in a History of Knox County to locate a biography on this man? Where was he born in New York? I may be grasping at straws, but in the 1850 Census of Knox there is a Henry AREA Family in Henderson. Henry's wife has a very unusual given name, Diadama and she is born in New York and her maiden name was DAVISON or DAVISSON. I am wondering, if she could be a sister to Benjamin. Thanks.
