In Memory 

of

James H. Alison

Who departed this life

In the year 1830

I asked Claude.ai to read this tombstone. Claude.ai say the last line reads “on Oct. 30, 1830”.

Personally, I do not see Oct. 30.  

James Hugh Alison was the son of Hugh James Alison and Frances Rebecca Bellune. James Hugh was the oldest of 3 sons and a daughter born of this union. 

About 1813, James Hugh Alison married Rachel Davis. Rachel, born abt 1792, was the daughter of David Davis and Rebecca Keziah “Kezia” Godfrey. James Hugh and Rachel had 4 known children, 2 daughters and 2 sons.  

James Hugh Alison died in 1830.  Rachel Davis Alison died after 1860.  

Rachel Davis Alison, wife of James Hugh Alison

is my 2nd Cousin, 5X Removed.
