Nancy Allison Davies Talbot

Allison was born on February 3, 1945 in Cleveland, Ohio to her late parents, Nancy Allison Mills Davies and John “Jack” Rumsey Davies, III. She grew up in Chesterland, Ohio with her three siblings and cousins next door and spent her summers in Sargentville, Maine. She graduated from Laurel School in Shaker Heights, Ohio and married Timothy R. Talbot, III, known as Terry, in November 1967 after graduating from Wells College.
