He is the one that found Thomas Lawton's and Elizabeth Salisbury's marriage record for us. I had found a record that listed George Lawton, the six Wheelers and William (W)Odell on the same voyage on the Planter in 1638. I don't believe this record does. As many of you know, William Wodell was mentioned in the will of Thomas Lawton as "his loving friend." Their properties are side by side on the early Portsmouth map. When I learned that William also came from Cranfield, I thought he and Thomas had probably known each other since childhood. I was glad to see that this record tells where the ship Planter arrived , (Newport). So many of the ships landed at Boston, I had thought it probably did too. The Wheelers were probably cousins of George, as the Lawtons and Wheelers of Cranfield were related. I believe, without checking, that either Thomas and George's mother or grandmother was a Wheeler. The 'master' of the ship Planter was Nicholas Trerice, there are several records showing that he made several trips to America, with the Planter, including one in 1635. Since Thomas isn't listed here, he must have come a few years later. I believe George was the oldest son, and Thomas was one of the younger sons, so there was an age difference between them. I told the man who sent me this information, that he was a fine English gentleman, to be so helpful.

Carol, I have information on Elizabeth and her descendents. I believe that Gayle borrowed and copied the "Descendents of Ludlow B. Sisson", and the information is there, accompanied by photos. It starts on page 53. If Lisa could tell me where the Sissons lived, I could hunt them up.

Does anyone have information - stories, pictures, etc. - about Elizabeth "Betty" Sisson, daughter of Ludlow Branham Sisson of the Robert and Amy of Virginia lineage? Anything other than census (already have). Betty was born in 1825, died in 1906, and lived most of her life (probably) in Roanoke/Shawsville/Floyd Co. region of Virginia. She had two children - Lidia Jane Sisson and Timothy Preston Sisson, their father's name not known. Gayle Buresh is seeking more information on Betty. On another branch, does anyone have photos of Henry Hardy Sisson (1846-1915) and his son Robert Jay Sisson (b. 1882) of the Robert and Amy of Virginia lineage? Lisa Mann posted some time ago about pictures of these, did anyone contact her at the time? Thanks, Carol Sisson Regehr Sisson-L list mom -- cregehr@phys.ksu.edu

I never knew when to use emigration and immigration, until I found this today. I always figured I was using the wrong term, and anyone reading my data, would think I was very ignorant. For others who don't know either: Immigration means to enter and settle in a country or region, to which one is not native. Emigration means to leave one country or region to settle in another. I found this on The Olive Tree Genalogy. Mary Jo

Thank you Deb....I will forward this to the SISSON list and Mary Jo's attention since she is the one doing most of the searching in Rhode Island.? She lives there and hopefully this will help her.?

Yes, some of the Lawtons were Quakers, and they married into a lot of the early Portsmouth RI Quaker families.? I have all these lines in my ancestry also.? A guy named James Arnold spent his life going around to all the towns and early newspapers, preachers, churches, etc. assembling Vital Records for RI from 1636 to 1850 or so.? 20 Volumes!!? Perhaps you are familiar with them??? There is one for Friends Records, but that just gives the bare basics, (and perhaps?he "missed" a few marriage entries?)? Do you know if there is an online posting/transcription of those Quaker Records that we could access?? They DO hold a LOT of information.? (If you know how to work their transfer of membership information, I am told you can track the migration?paths of whole families across the USA.)? My Grandmother was clerk of the Portsmouth Friends Church for many years, and I know that all of the records were at one time (1960's era) in the Newport Historical Society.? (Perhaps they are in Providence by now, though).? But alas, I am no longer home (in Portsmouth) and having to do my genealogy long distance like the rest of us.? So I have never seen those early Monthly Minutes of the Friends-- and I am not sure whether they would have been under Portsmouth, Newport or Rhode Island Meetings.? Portsmouth Meeting would be the easiest to research, less info.? Perhaps someone living in the Portsmouth/Newport area would have the time to dig into them for us? Sincerely, Deb Gustafson??

This Samuel Sisson, a virginia sea captain had a daughter named Ann who married a Bartholomew and was still dancing the waltz at 91 yrs old. She said she was born New Haven in June 1808, **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

I am not sure who the following Peleg Sisson is, but he is probably a descendant of Richard and Mary. Taken from Ohio Records. Sisson, Peleg, of Columbus. Dated May 6, 1848. Proven Oct. 24, 1848. Mentions: Wife, Eliza Sisson; Son Francis; Son George P.; Daughter Eliza; Thomas Sparrow is to sell certain lots and pay the money to daughter, Mary Sisson; Son Charles; Daughter Martha Sparrow. Wife is to be guardian to George, Cornelia, and Eliza Sisson. Thomas Sparrow is to be guardian to Francis and Mary Sisson. Executor : Thomas Sparrow. Witnessed by Joseph F. Smith and Joseph R. Swan.

I have found a record of the genealogy of a George Robert Lawton (1813-1885) which states that he "was a descendent of one of the earliest families in Rhode Island, his father's family arrived at Aquidneck in 1638 aboard the ship "Planter" from Cranfield, Parish, Bedfordshire, England. The family settled in the Portsmouth, Newport area and obtained a land grant known today as Lawton's Valley." These Planter passengers are obviously our Lawtons, prob. George & Thomas both. Does anyone know how to locate the passenger list for the Planter? I have been trying to, but have had no luck. Evidently there is such a record (somewhere) because the information appears to be very reliable. Someone must have located the Sparrow records, unless it was just information handed down in the family, and I doubt that. Please tell me where I should look. Mary Jo

Does anyone on the List know who the following was: Josias Wilcocks, alias Card, son of Jane Card, born July 19, 1766, Portsmouth. (Vital Records of R I) This makes it sound as though Josias was illegitimate. This Jane is definitely not the Jane who md. Thomas Sisson(3), but a later Jane. But she apparently was a Portsmouth Card. I just accidentally found this record as I was searching the Vital Records of Rhode Island. Mary Jo

I'm not certain if we have this burial record of William Sisson (4) or not. I scanned through William's records but did not see it. Great Plains Cemetery #57, North Stonington, Connecticut Cemeteries. William Sisson died October 15, 1798, age 53 Mercy (Noyes) Sisson, wife of William Sisson, died Dec. 8, 1824, age 76 William Sisson (Jr.), son of William and Mercy, died August 20, 1800, 1age 16. In case we don't already have Williams' burial site recorded, it is always nice to know where a person's final resting place is. Mary Jo
