Forwarded. Please respond directly to SalleeAnn Sudbury Miller at salleeann@yahoo.com I am writing this message because I am stuck on my Sisson line! I know that a Jennie Pearl Sisson (b. 1879 d. 1936) married a William Otho Miller (b. 1868 d.1940). Jennie Pearl was the daughter of Samuel Sisson (b. 1835 d.1918) and Mary Caroline Redford (b. 1848 d.1942). I can't figure out where Samuel came from, though. Some family members think that his father's name was Frank and a mother's name might have included the name Sinclair, but that's all I know. Any help? Thanks, S. Miller love ya SalleeAnn

Anyway, I have some names that may be of some use, ( I have tried doing some research on the OneGreatFamily web page, but I have a mac. and can't download the browser to get the info that I need that may be of any help.) I have managed to recover a few names from my Grandfathers family, which may or may not be of use, His name was Cyril Sisson born 1910, he had a brother Percy Sisson, and three sisters, Gladys, Mabel or Mable ? and Patricia. His brother Percy ended up living in Jersey (channel Islands), with no descendents. My Grandfathers fathers name was John William Sisson, (died 1916) his wife Sarah (maiden name Dent I believe) He was a farmer/auctioneer in Temple Sowerby/Appleby District. Apparently, some of the earlier members of the family were Laywers. My Grandfather had a son, from a previous marriage, who would be the only direct descendent from him that is male, his name is Michael Sisson, who lived or lives in London, should probably be about 70 years old or so, and worked for Ford Motors. We are not sure if he had any children but are working on finding that out. I may be able to get some more names towards the end of the week that may be of some help!!

Hello all again I have managed to gather some more information that I hope may be of some help. My mum remembers two maiden aunts of my grandfathers, Minnie and Annie who she visited as a child. John William Sisson my great grandfather, was married TWICE, his first wife died as a young woman, the daughter of his first marriage was named Linda, and she married a man named Leslie Lafolley, they lived in Jersey - (channel Islands) UK. Linda and her husband had about 5 sons, and remained in Jersey, Linda died in the early sixties? , Willis, Harold, Keith, and Dennis I believe are the names of four of Linda's sons. Hope this is of some use!! Sarah

Hello I am a member of the Sisson family originally from Temple Sowerby - Penrith area in the UK. My great Grandfather was Joseph Sisson, a farmer and raiser of Clydesdale horses, his wife was Sarah. The book 'My Bolivian Aunt, written by Cecil Beaton is about Jessie Sisson, my grandfathers cousin, who I oddly enough look very similar to!!. From what I have been told since being a child, the name Sisson, was derived from France as they cam over in the times of the Norman Conquest, from Soisson. Anyway, I came across your Sisson page, as I have been doing some research on my family tree, I didnt know there were so many Sisson's out there. Sarah

Dear Friends and Cousins, The Sisson DNA Project has over 65 participants now, and counting. But maybe you're also interested in seeing how Scottish, Anglo-Saxon, or Norse you are.

I have been trying to piece together my mother¹s family genealogy. My maternal grandmother was Ethel Newton Sisson, one of four daughters of Harvey and Mary Sisson of Harwich, Massachusetts (see excerpt from the Sisson genealogy site below). My understanding is that Harvey Handy Sisson Jr. was a descendant of Richard and Mary Sisson of Rhode Island. The information on the Sisson site seems to confirm this. Is there a published Sisson family genealogy with information on my branch of the Sisson family? The Lovelands, my mother¹s maiden name, are well documented in New England from the mid 1630s, but I have little information on the Sisson branch of my mother¹s family beyond what I¹ve seen on the Sisson site. Any information related to my search would be appreciated. Thanks, Ralph Stello Jr. 4333. Harvey Handy SISSON Jr;. (Harvey Handy , Peleg , Philip , Richard , Richard , James , Richard ) was born 3 Mar 1861 in Harwich, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts. He died 16 Dec 1926 in Harwich, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts. Harvey Handy Sisson, Jr. was a railroad employee and then a farmer in West Harwich. Harvey married Mary A. NICHOLSON, daughter of Malcolm NICHOLSON and Sarah S. MCINNES, on 16 Nov 1893 in Harwich, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts. Mary was born about 1869 in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. They had the following children:   6583 F i Ethel Newton SISSON was born 5 Apr 1896.   Ethel married Spencer Nye LOVELAND, son of Isaac LOVELAND and Myra HOWES, on 1 Dec 1917 in Boston, Massachusetts. Spencer was born about 1896 in Chatham, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts.   -- Ralph Stello, Jr. VP Creative Jobson Medical Information LLC NJ phone: 973-954-9235 NJ fax: 973-954-9305

Thank you very much, Sharon. I will add this information to the Harford line also. This isn't my direct line, but I am a Sisson (through Richard and Mary-DNA confirmed) and my husband is a Harford, so the names really caught my attention. I've been doing genealogy for nearly fourty years and am fascinated with it. I'm currently trying to do a Harford website similar to the Sisson one. I truely admire all the work that has been done there. And it is people like you that freely give of their time and knowledge that really make this work so worthwhile.

I was sure I had more on this family, and I have a family tree/history that was done for this branch in Westmoreland County, Va. by a professional genealogist. It starts with William Henry Sisson and Peggy Muse m. 1789 (d of Charles Muse), parents of William R. Sisson m. Ann Harvey in 1824 (d. of Joe F. Harvey). This record says "MARSIE B. Sisson, age 18, married Henry Harford at Montross on Feb. 19, 1859. His age was 32 and his parents were Henry and Susan Harford." The record also quotes the 1850 census with the name "Marion". There is no other information on Marsie/Marion.

I can only find one Marion B, Sisson from the records I have on hand. She is listed as the daughter of Ann Sisson of Westmoreland Co.. Ann seems to be a widow. However, Marion is listed as being 12 years old in 1850. If you find Marion married to Henry in 1850 and 60, this doesn't seem to be the right person. In 1850, Henry himself would only have been 18, and not a prime candidate for marriage. I checked the birth records in Westmoreland and Richmond Counties, and I found no other Marion. There are lots of Mary Sissons, and one Mary B., born to Henry and Winifred in 1805. I have no marriage record for Marion nor for Henry in Westmoreland County. This leaves you with bigger questions than you had before! Sorry.
