I am seeking information on my paternal grandmother, Beatrice Sisson b. July 4 1890 d. 1957, daughter of John Henry Sisson and Grace Lincoln. Beatrice married Raymond Lee LaRose and their children were Kenneth and Raymond LaRose. She later married Bernard Chandler and had more children.

Hi Melba, If you google Sisson Genealogy, you will fine a website for the Sisson genealogy web base. Once you get there, click onto the line of Richard and Mary. Click on descendants, Follow it from Richard, his son George, his son Thomas, then Peleg, Peleg Jr., Timothy, Timothy Jr., Jacob Alonzo, John Henry, Beatrice. This should give you some of the info that you are seeking. Larry L. Sisson Nyartunltd@aol.com wrote: I am seeking information on my paternal grandmother, Beatrice Sisson b.

I am looking for a connection to Richard and Mary Sisson for Rchard and Sarah Sisson of Herkimer County, New York. Richard and Sarah had a son Abraham born 1779. I have been looking Abraham Sisson Family information. He was born 1779 New York and died in Floyd township, New York 14 June 1841. He married Amy Cole and had a son William 1808 in Herkimer. They had another son Ormund/Ormond/Ormand. I am trying to find the thread that connects the Rhode Island Sissons to Abraham, thus I would be connected too. Aramintha Williams married William Sisson and had Almeron Sisson my great grandfather. They settled in Great Bend, New York where my family resides today. If there is any person who can help in my search I would be very grateful. Sincerely, JoAnna Sisson-Emerson **************Start the year off right.

I have searched forever and still have not found a firm connection for my sisson line. I do know however we are a positive match for John in Georgia. My grandmother said the Sisson were black irish. so I know all of their names from 1749 till now. Where should I look for records. Can some one help. My William Eldridge Sisson was born about 1749 supposedly in South Carolina, his mother Virginia. Janice **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

While perusing Connecticut cemeteries tonight, I found the following tombstones: Greene, Lafayette M., Musician, Co. K, 5th. Regt., Connecticut Volunteers, 1828-1906. Lydia M. Sisson, his wife, 1827-1910 Brewster Cemetery, Part II, Preston, New London, Connecticut. This Lydia is listed, without this much information, on our Sisson website, Number 920, 7th generation. I found this information on a web site for Stonington, New London, Connecticut. The children of William Sisson, son of Thomas Sisson(3), and the unknown Jane, allegedly had 10 children born in Stonington, between the years of 1738 and 1758. I thought Carol might want to add this data to our web site, and perhaps some descendant might be looking for Lydia and Lafayette. I am still searching for Jane. Mary Jo

Hi Mary Jo, I think you have a good idea here and naming patterns do indeed lead you to more possibilities.? Good luck with this one!? Regards,? Joan Fitzsimmons Mary Jo Sisson March <benoni@centurytel.net> wrote: I hardly know where to begin with my update on my Jane/Card/Freeman/ Sisson research. But I have found some very interesting records. I decided instead of ignoring the Freeman theory, that I would search for Freeman history. One of the unconfirmed records says that Jane was the dau. of William Freeman. William was born in 1664/65, and Jane was allegedly born about 1690, and Thomas Sisson was born 1686, so the time line is plausable. What started me on this was the name William. That was not a Sisson or Card name, either one. But it was a (very) popular name with the Freemans. The Freemans also used the names Rebecca and Rachel, and I don't believe the Sissons or Cards did. Jane and Thomas had children named William, Rebecca and Rachel. This Freeman line is extremely interesting. John Major Freeman was the emigrant from England, and the above mentioned William Freeman was his son. John Freeman had married Mercy Prence, whose father was William Prence, governor of New Plymouth. Mercy Prence Freeman's mother was Patience Brewster, dau. of the "most famous Plymouth colonist William Brewster," of the Mayflower. He was a preacher, and died 1644, April l0, at Plymouth, Massachusetts. There is a fine photo of him on the Encylopedia site. There is that name William again. If Jane Sisson had a grandfather that famous she would most likely have wanted to use the name William for one of her children. William and John Major Freeman both resided in Eastham, Barnstable, Mass., which I believe was originally part of Plymouth. Perhaps that is why we have had so much trouble searching for Jane. Since I only just began on this line of Freeman research, I am not vouching for any of it. But it certainly seems promising. Perhaps I have been wrong in ignoring the Freeman record. Jane Freeman's mother Lydia Sparrow Freeman was from Newport, R. I., so perhaps that is how they could have known the Sissons. I would appreciate your comments on this subject.

I agree, Larry. Mary Jo has a very plausible theory here. Naming patterns are always good clues. I have just tried the name "Jane Freeman" on the New England Historic Genealogical Society site (at http://www.newenglandancestors.org/). Their broadest search engine turns up only 19th-century a "Jane Freeman." Much of that site is accessible only to members. I'll return and do some more searching later today.

Hi Mary Jo, That is very interesting and plausable. In fact, I have tried that on other lines that I am researching but so far to no avail. It looks like you may have something on this one.

I have received my reply from the Rhode Island State Archives, and regretfully they did not have a marriage record for Thomas Sisson, in any town in Rhode Island. They suggested I try Massachusetts. But they said they checked their Probate Records "and found the following reference: Mr. Sisson & probably Jane Card - mentioned in a will of wife's father filed 1717, Newport, Volume 6A, pp. 209-211. They gave me an address in Newport to email for this. I don't know why they just said Mr. Sisson, they knew I was looking for Thomas. I am afraid this will of Joseph Card to a Sisson son-in-law will turn out to be to Richard Sisson who married his daughter Ann. Mary Jo

For webpage announcement, go to http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~dasisson/gathering2008.htm and for registration form, go to: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~dasisson/gathering2008registrationform.pd f Hope to see you all there! Forwarded from David Martin: You are invited to the 2008 Sisson Gathering, to be held June 26-28 in Springfield, Illinois. The "central days" of the Gathering will be Friday, June 27 and Saturday, June 28. Some people may arrive sooner or stay later to enjoy the region. Many of our Sisson ancestors lived in the region or passed through on their way westward. Our speaker at the Saturday dinner will present information on local Sisson genealogy, including a building named for a Sisson at nearby Bradley University. You are also invited to share a story or some family lore at the Gathering. This kind of "Show and Tell" has been a highlight of all of our previous Gatherings. We will also have several formal reports concerning our DNA project and our on-going research to find our British roots. We will have tables for you to display your Sisson family treasures-photographs, old letters, genealogy charts, and anything else related to Sisson history. If you could arrive by Thursday June 26, you would have many interesting things to see and do in the Springfield area; for example: a church with a beautiful Tiffany window, an interesting local museum, Lincoln's home and law office, a Frank Lloyd Wright house, Lincoln's store, and old Route 66, among other highlights. On Friday, June 27, we will have excursions using car pools to local cemeteries where Sissons are buried, a visit to a library where we can research Sisson genealogy, and other relevant sites; lunch will be on our own. We are also invited to stop by the Sisson Inn, hosted by our Gathering hosts, Donna and Mark Sisson. For motel reservations, please make your own reservation with the Signature Inn; call 217-529-6611. We have reserved a block of rooms for the Gathering at a reasonable price of $71.48, taxes included, per night. However, those rooms will not be held after May 15, 2008, so it will be best to make your reservation before that time. A continental breakfast is included in the room price. Be sure to mention Sisson Gathering when you call. That rate is reserved for us from Wednesday night, June 25 through Saturday night, June 28. Our meal functions (lunch and dinner on Saturday, June 28) will be at the motel, and our meeting room will be there also; the cost of these two meals is included in the registration fee of $65 per person. All of your other meals can be on your own. If you are flying instead of driving, you would probably do best to fly into the airports at Springfield or Bloomington, Illinois. The airlines flying into Springfield include American Airlines and United Airlines. The motel has a free shuttle service from and to the airport, but you would need to call them from the airport. The motel is located at Exit 94 from Interstate 55 in Springfield if you are driving or renting a car. We will also be nominating places for the 2010 Sisson Gathering and will welcome your thoughts. We look forward to seeing you in Springfield in June-remember to make your check out to David S. Martin but send it to Larry Sisson (address on the Registration Form) by June 9 or preferably earlier.

This will not solve the issue of Jane's surname - however - in colonial records persons were often noted as "freeman" which indicated their social status! It has been my experience that where only their given name is noted "Freeman" has often been taken as this persons surname by inexperienced researchers. Going back even farther to medieval records - I have seen household offices mistaken for surnames i.e. "knight" "butler" and "seneschal" among others! Also, unfortunately, married women's surname often disappears completely - in fact there is a Sisson, who lived in Cincinnati, who's wife is only recorded as "Mrs. Sisson" thus her name has completely disappeared - there are no known records of her actual name! I believe that, in some segments of society, it was customary for husband and wife to address each other as Mr. --- or Mrs. --- and never in fact actually use their given names.

Also, Ann Card and Jane Card had a younger sister Elizabeth who md. Oliver Arnold, who was the son of Caleb Arnold. Some unconfirmed records suggest Giles Sisson's(4) wife Elizabeth was the dau. of Caleb Arnold. I need to work out the dates on Elizabeth, to see if she was the right age. I am beginning to think the mystery of Thomas'(3) wife Jane (unknown) and Giles's(4) wife Elizabeth (unknown) are all connected. That is why I am trying so hard to find a mg. record for Thomas Sisson(3), and wife Jane. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been trying to locate a marriage record for Thomas Sisson(3). Although I haven't found it, I now know where it isn't. Portsmouth, Newport & Westerly do not have the record. I have always found the Portsmouth City Clerk's office to be very helpful, but they were unable to help me this time. I have now written to the Rhode Island Archives, which was recommended, but I will have to wait for a snail mail reply. Does anyone else have a suggestion as to where I should look?
