This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CISSON, GILLESPIE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UeB.2ACI/3119.1 Message Board Post: Patsy, Would you by chance have an Emma CISSON (1853-1922) listed? Just guessing by the ages and dates, she might be an aunt or older cousin to your gg-grandfather John. She was born in NC (in what would now be Transylvania Co.), but I am absolutely STUMPED beyond her -- at least with definitive proof of her parentage. There is a possibility her father's name was Jackson CISSON, mother's name might have been Nancy. Any help would be appreciated!
