My earliest known ancestor, my G5 grandfather Joseph ALLISON, moved to Goshen in Orange County, NY in 1725 and died there in 1755. I have obtained a copy of Joseph Allison's will, which he wrote in 1752, from the NY State Archives which lists the names of his children. They are Joseph, Richard, Richardson, Thomas, Cornelius, Benjamin, Phoebe, Sarah, Elizabeth, Isaac and William. They all lived in Orange County. I trace my ancestry back to Joseph through two of his sons, Richardson and Isaac. I would be most interested in Joseph, Isaac and Richardson ALLISON, but any ALLISON entries would be wonderful. Thanks very much!
