There were two Nancy Larrison's in Washington co. Pa. at the same time and both had father's named John The one who married John Ramsey was the descendant of John Larrison "the Dane" who came to NJ. in 1666. Her mother was Mary Pelton and her grandmother was Keizah Parke. Their son William married Emeline Maple whose grandmother Keizah Larrison was Nancy's aunt. She is a descendant of William Parke born 1503 who is also the ancestor of John Custis, George Washington's stepson,of Mary Custis, Robert E. Lee's wife and of Robert Parke who married Ruth Webster the granddaughter of Noah Webster(not the Noah who wrote the dictionary but his 2nd cousin and also of Daniel). The other Nancy was born in 1772, her mother was Elizabeth Midkiff or Kice and she married William Gibson. They are not related as far as I can tell.

There were two Nancy Larrison's born in Washington co. Pa. The one who married John Ramsey was born in Amwell township in 1790. She was possibly a descendant of John Larrison "the Dane" who came to NJ. in 1666 and claimed to be a Danish nobleman. Her mother's maiden name was NOT Pelton (Mary Pelton had no children). Her daughterr in-law Emeline Maple, was a descendant of the Dane,.The other Nancy was born about 1772 and married a man named Gibson. I don't believe they were related.
