    1. MOLLESON family
    2. Susan L. Williams
    3. MOLLESON's of Franklin Twp, Warren Co OH from abt. 1820 through 1860's. Believed migrated from NJ (Piscataway a possibility). All of this surname are related, although spelling may be Mollison/Mallison/with e's sometimes added. Ancestry file at LDS has extensive data, but there are obvious inaccuracies & redundant entries. It also includes maternal lines of the MOLLESONs, but again, MUST be checked throughly before accepting any of it. Their ancestry is fairly certain to go back to a Celtic name, but appear in Aberdeen Scotland until they came to America before 1800. I have transcribed copies of Aberdeen records where they were mentioned in records in 1124, and it continued thru 1600's. The family had a strong tradition of naming one son, "Gilbert", which continued down to a Gilbert MOLLESON appearing in Warren Co records ca 1820. Have some Census records 1850/60 but need earlier information and cssp with related familiy descendants. This line totally disappears from County with the death/probate of John D. (Daniel ?) MOLLESON in Apr 1865. John D. married Lucy CHAMBERLAIN (when & where ?) and she d. in Warren Co. (bef 1850 Census, prob 1845-1850). Earliest child, Daniel was b. abt 1828 in OH. John is single in 1850 Census, with children at home, youngest is Lucy Eliza b. abt 1845. He m2) Eliza Jane (also shown as Eliza C.) DUBOIS Oct 1850. It is unknown if Eliza was previously married, but there was no issue from m2. She survived him. Sarah & siblings married into: BAIRD, Mary Jane; TENERICK, --; LIPPINCOTT, Jacob; CHAMBERLAIN, Joseph H, and possibly MacFARLAND, Hattie. On 27 Feb 1854, John D. Molleson, father of Mary MOLLERSON, gave consent for her marriage to Thomas STOUT. If this is the Mary, age 13 in 1850 Census, it makes her abt 16/17 at time of consent given. However, it is proven that this Mary MOLLESON married Joseph H. Chamberlain in 1863 and moved to Johnson Co. KS. I descend from Sarah S. MOLLESON, daughter of John D & Lucy (Chamberlain). She m. John Burdges LIPPINCOTT on 6 Sept 1848, Warren Co. OH. So..after 25 yrs + of searching, I have fragments to link together. Any help appreciated. Susan Bidwell Williams slw02@sprynet.com
