Biography

Maiden Name

The only maiden's name I have found for Phoebe is Smith, in a SAR Application, listed below. On Ancestry.com the Hood-Carlson Family Tree has her maiden name as Davison Smith. in "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail" p. 189 at this link [1] there is a list of John and Phoebe's children, they had a daughter Phoebe who married Daniel Davison, son of Josiah Davison. Just wondering if this mother and daughter have been confused.

I am in the process of looking into the maiden name of "Gandee", but so far I have not found that name anywhere. If anyone has a reference/source I would love to see it. (Joan Williams Wagner, 28 Jun 2016)

I'm a direct descendant of John Harrison and Phoebe, as well as their daughter Phoebe and second husband Thomas Moore. It was long thought John's wife as a Smith, and a sister of Abigail Smith, second wife to John's father Isaiah. It wasn't until today that I realized it isn't documented. In Settlers by the Long Grey Trail, her surname is not listed.

I have never heard of the surname Gandee associated with the family.
