I can scan a copy of the will, sure, but it could take a few days to get to gether, and no, the name is not Sessum's for us, but Sisson. I have seen it spelled many interesting ways, though! Hannah Parker Raines married Thomas Sisson, Jr. and Martha Parker, a niece, married Thomas Sisson, a nephew. It is real confusing, I know. There is/was a Nicholas Sessum's in VA, but no relation at all. Just a similar sounding name. As for "both lists....can't help you there.

If so, can you scan it and send me a copy, or is it typed somewhere that you could attach that information? My E-mail is rebeltrumpet@sbcglobal.net 3) Is there any chance at all that your Sisson could have been the same as Sessums? In other words, could the Sessums have been written wrong? I noticed a couple of Parkers married Sessums??? Probably not, but just wondering?? thanks,Kathy Wells. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathleen Sisson" <ironpants55@hotmail.com> To: <rebeltrumpet@sbcglobal.net>; <PARKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 5:00 PM Subject: Re: [PARKER-L] Re: [PARKER-ROOTS] Re: Accurate information > Thank you Kathy for posting this.
