[This book's author apparently added the "(Aud)" which is NOT in the original record; also, the original shows his surname as 'Davison'. (see transcript of original)]
[This is interpreted to mean that Mary is Mary (Aud) Avis, the widow of ? Avis because her bondsman would have most likely been a blood relative - brother or father. Also, four years earlier, a Mary Avis was baptizing a son without the father present. The conclusion is that Mary Aud married ? Avis who died leaving her a son and that she later married M. Davison]
