Im new to this particular list having just pushed my family line back to a suspected connection into this Clinton county. I would like to introduce myself, offer the information I already have, and request any any help in extending it. I'm Dave Ellis helping my mother-in-law research her family tree. Her family is mostly from Vermont but the roots go back into NY, some of them possibly into Clinton county. I'm actually working on a Sisco line that is in Swanton, Franklin Co., VT. This is really a case of having eliminated every possibility in Vermont, the only plausible one left is in Clinton County. Elezer Sisco first shows up in Sunapee NH in 1776 with a William Sisco. The relationship between these two is not clear, possibly they are brothers. Elezer must be about 16 at least as he is a signer of the Revolutionary Association. That puts his DOB before 1760 so he could be a brother of William who was born in 1749. Anyway, by 1790 William has crossed the Connecticutt river and is in Weathersfield VT. There is another male living with him who is too old be be one of William's children. It could be Elezer as he is no longer showing up in NH. Later William moves up into the Burlington VT area and eventually to Franklin VT where he dies in 1832. My theory is that Elezer may also have gone towards Burlington but continued on into Clinton Co. where he shows up in the early 1800's. I also believe I've eliminated the Sisco's from the West Haven VT region as I can find none of them coming north at an early enough date. I've traced my Sisco line back to a Uri Sisco who was born before 1810, location unknown. He marries in Swanton VT in 1823. I'm trying to determine if Uri might be the son of Elezer and whether Elezer really is the one who shows up in NH in 1776. I have eliminated William from this search and all his sons are accounted for. {Two of them started the Sisco lines in Troy/Jay VT and one stayed in the Weathersfield are VT region.
