Notes: On May 7, 1778, Josiah was named the Sheriff of Rockingham County, and the first jail was erected - but never completed - at a plantation known as Smithland, just north of the City of Harrisonburg. Davisson’s term was brief, because of his inability to collect taxes. His replacement, Abraham Smith, had been a member of the Virginia militia during the French-Indian wars. At one time, he was captured and tried for treason. Another sheriff not only was required to locate and arrest an individual, but following the trial, he was ordered to hang the man, a task he performed from a tree in Harrisonburg. Josiah married HERRON Virginia Edith on 23 Oct 1771 in Augusta Co., Rockingham Co., VA. Virginia was born on 03 Jul 1752 in Wading River, Suffolk Co., NY; died in Mar 1801 in Harrison Co., WV.
