John Allison (Ellison), the son of James Allison and Jean Wilson Allison, of Windyedge in Avondale, County Lanark, Scotland, (Also referred to as "Lanark, Windyedge County, Scotland") follower and companion of Sir Robert Hamilton, married Ellin (Ellen) Hamilton, daughter of Sir Robert Hamilton. They came to America and settled at Archer's Hope in Virginia in James City County about the year 1625. James is the earliest Allison that I have a record of. John’s arrival in America is shown in an various places as 1610, 1621, 1622, 1623 and 1625. John was born in Lanark, Windyedge County, Scotland about in 1570 and died in Virginia about in1660. It is believed he and Ellin had two children, George and Robert. His father, James is the first Allison that I have knowledge of.
