Janice These are the two Sisson and Wright burials shown in the listing of The Promised Land, which is geared more to Claiborne County, with some listings for Jefferson. Rocky Springs Methodist Cemetery in north-eastern Claiborne County, located near the Natchez Trace parkway: James Sisson Apr. 5, 1778 May 16, 1856 John M. Wright Apr. 5, 1803 Jan. 8, 1844 I don't have much on Lizzie Sisson, except a marriage in Claiborne County 5 Apr 1900 to John E. Boren. Apparently this was a second marriage for John E. Boren who married S.M. Herrington 7 Apr 1883 in Claiborne County. John E. Boren was born about 1860, son of Thomas G. Boren (b. 22 Dec 1820 Tennessee d. 23 May 1898 Claiborne Co. Buried at Sarepta Methodist Cemetery) and Elizabeth Jane McPherson (b. Jul 1823 Miss d. after 1900). Thomas G. Boren was the son of my gg-grandparents William M. Boren (d. 5 Jun 1844 Claiborne Co.) and Jane Bell (d. 13 Apr 1864 Claiborne Co.). They moved to Claiborne County from the Christian/Trigg county area of Kentucky in the 1830's. That's probably more than anyone wanted to know about the Boren family, but if anyone wants more info, my cousin Bobbie Jean & I have them pretty well documented back to about the early 1800's in Kentucky. Thomas G. Boren was the only one born in Tennessee. We figure they must have been visiting family in Tenn at Christmas of 1820, but who knows. Good luck on your Sisson & Wright family.

I have a link to the Boren line. But my biggest brick wall has been the sisson line.and the wright line. Looking for the burial of Martha M Wright from Claiborne county. She was a large slave holder and died after 1860 her sons were William P. Wright and James S. Wright. Lizzie Sisson married John E Boren. She was my grandmothers sister. Janice Stevens
