Hi Carol, Janice found a William F. Sissen (William F Sisson) who was a Private in the Civil War. He served in the Confederacy. Regiment name: 14 Mississippi Infantry, 14th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry. Comany F. Film number: M232 roll 37. The regiment originated in Missippi, but there is nothing to indicate this is the place of birth of William F. Sissen/Sisson. I would like to know more about this person. I have spent this week looking for him in the census records. I didn't find him in Mississippi in the 1870 census. There are many William Sisson names. I have looked at most of the different ways to spell the name. My grandfather, Nathaniel B. Sisson is in the 1900 AR Census. Born Sept 16, 1868, Romance, White, AR, died Aug 11,1904, Pangburn, White, AR. This is the only census I have found with his name listed. The father of Nathaniel is listed to be from Mississippi , the mother from AL. This again could be that there was never a change of residence, because Al used to be a part of MS. I'm hoping someone reading this has Willam F. Sisson in some of their records. Thanks Elizabeth

I am looking for Sadie Jurrel (Jurell) Sisson b.1883 in Blue Ridge GA married William Burton Sisson. They had 10 children, all born in the N. GA area, as far south as Cherokee Co. Thanks for any help, Stephanie

Hi Carol, From everything that I have been able to determine, the male lineage for Edwad Allan Sisson, his father and grandfather have all died out. Larry L. Sisson

David, I am interested to know who will be getting these wonderful family papers. How many pages are there and will we be able to see copies? Just for the fun of it, I googled" James Sisson papers" and came up with all sorts of written things that might be of interest.

Hi y'all, I'm Jan Porterfield from the Southern branch, but I thought I would check to see if anyone is interested in a RIGGIN-SISSON FAMILY RECORD. I bought it on Ebay many moons ago because it said SISSON and was cheap. I've contacted people before about it, maybe Carol? If I am remembering correctly, she told me it was a Kansas Sisson family. Anyway, it's a family record written on what looks like paper from a court book. The front of the page says "Township, ------ County" and on the reverse is Board of Highway Commissioners." One page is RIGGIN FAMILY RECORD. The first entry is Nehemiah Riggin born 1805 died 1882. Then Sarah Webb his wife born Nov. 2, 1813 died Sep 18, 1896. Then on the next page is SISSON FAMILY RECORD. First entry is Ricahrd Sisson born 1608 - his wife name Mary. George Sisson & Sarah Lawton 1664. Thomas Sisson born 1686 has will on record at westerly. R. I. mentions his wife Jane and 5 children. Giles Sisson son of Thomas Sisson Toward the bottom: Frank E. Sisson his youngest son born Jan. 25 1884 married to Irvyl Riggin. Does anybody know anyone who might want this record? (I mean somebody who is a descendant, not somebody who wants to sell it.) I'd be happy to give it to somebody who would appreciate having it for family reasons.

For anyone that might be interested, there are two interesting items listed in the Ebay Stores. I believe that they are both overpriced, but that depends on how much someone wants them. One a campaign button/ribbon for A. E. Sisson, a state senator of Erie Pennsylvania running for Auditor General. It is listed at 49.95 plus shipping on buy it now. The other one is a postcard of The Sisson House, S. Shore, Little Compton, Rhode Island. It list for $29.00 plus shipping. It is also listed as a buy it now. Larry L. Sisson

I looked for just a few minutes on Ancestry.com to see what I could find on this family. Edward Allan Sisson is listed on page 699 in the Sisson Book. His father George Hamilton Sisson is on page 585. Edward's grandfather Allan or Allen Sisson is on page 417. It appears that the male line on this family has died out if Edward's brother Charles Hamilton Sisson had no issue as the Sisson Book suggest. I will look and see if I can find anything on him and report it if I do. Here is what I found in the census records: 1850 Census Mishawaka, St. Joseph Co., Indiana Sissin, Allen 49 clerk NY Nancy L.29 NY George H. 6 Mi. Boultonhouse, William NY This should be Nancy's brother. Others are listed, but most likely are just boarders, the relationships are not noted. 1860 Census Mishawaka, St. Joseph Co., Indiana Sisson, Allen 61 Book Keeper NY Nancy 39 NY George 16 Mi. 1870 Census Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois Sisson, George H. 26 Mi. Sarah 27 Illinois Edward A. 10/12th's Illinois 1880 Census Somonauk, DeKalb Co., Illinois Scofield, Elizabeth 59 OH NY OH Susanah 34 OH CONN OH Edward 32 Minister OH CONN OH William H. 21 IN CONN OH Sisson, George H. 36 Mining Engineer MI NY NY Sarah 37 OH CONN OH Edward A. 10 Charles H. 9 Lucille 4 Genevieve 2/12th's 1880 Census Globe, Pinal Co., Arizona Territory Sisson, George H. 36 Mining Engineer MI.

NY NY The Sisson book list his DOB as Feb. 5, 1844, but I would think that this is the same George H. Sisson. 1900 Census Hamilton County, Ohio, Cincinnati Ward 30 Orr, Anna M. 67 Head of Household Elizabeth 48 daughter L.
