Marriage Record http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=38618&Type=Marriage

Note: there were two Josiah Davissons of the same age, living in Harrison County (and for a while, in Kentucky) at the same time, who married Shinn sisters with the similar names of Annie and Amy. The situation was partly resolved by nicknaming them ‘Long Si’ and ‘Short Si’. My Josiah ‘Long Si’ married Lucretia or Annie Shinn in 1785 while the other Josiah married Amy Shinn in 1788. Short Si and Amy are both buried in the Davisson Cemetery in Greenup County. It wouldn’t have helped very much to call them Josiah, son of Andrew, and Josiah, son of Amaziah because their father’s names were also similar.
