1808 - 1890
London merchant, son and partner of Crawford Davison the elder (q.v.); he was also one of the executors and beneficiaries under his father's will. Although the compensation records do not distinguish between the two men, it appears that Crawford Davison the younger was the awardee of part of the compensation for Sion Hill in Antigua, while the other awards in which 'Crawford Davison' was a claimant or awardee refer to his father.
