Some acreage in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, including Sisson Pond and the Lawton Valley Reservoir, have been preserved from development. Quoting from the Bristol (RI) Phoenix (newspaper) from June 1, 2006: "The Aquidneck Land Trust closed the largest conservation easement deal ever on Aquidneck Island last Thursday, May 25. First revealed over the summer, the agreement permanently protects 404 acres in Portsmouth and Middletown, property that includes three of Aquidneck Island's seven public water reservoirs and associated buffer lands. It finalizes an effort announced and celebrate last July at a gathering that included Governor Donald Carcieri, officials from Portsmouth, Middletown, and Newport, representatives from the Aquidneck Land Trust, and others. Under the pact, the City of Newport conveys a perpetual easement to the Land Trust on an area in Portsmouth and Middletown which includes Lawton Valley Reservoir, Sisson Pond, St. Mary's Pond and buffer lands all owned by the City of Newport."

We know through DNA testing that Vincent Sisson is a possible ancestor. I am more excited about this because of the family names James and margaret and the name "Jane", which was mentioned in a casual conversation at one time by my Aunt, a daughter of N.B. and Mary Joyce Sisson.

Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RFIBAIB/364 Message Board Post: A biography/family history of Edward Octavius Sisson is included in "Montana, Its Story and Biography", Vol 2. Edward was born 24 May 1869, in New Castle on Tyne, England, and came to the US in 1882.

To all Sisson researchers.......During my research of my Louisiana, Mississippi Sisson I have obtained the death certificate of a William L Sisson who died in West Carroll Parish and to know avail have not been able to place him..Below I am enclosing research of this man by another researcher and maybe someone is looking for this link ...Janice Dear Janice, Thanks for sending the death certificate. I think this is your line: 1880: Spottsville, Henderson Co. KY p. 609A J. H. Sisson, 33, KY farmer KY KY Lelela, wife, 29, KY KY KY William, son, 11, KY KY KY James son 10 KY KY KY Ana, dau. 7, KY KY KY Geneva, dau. 3, KY KY KY Jane Benett, other, 65, KY VA VA 1870: Part of 12th War, Louisville, Jefferson Co.

KY James Sisson, 64, Cooper, $200 personal prop., born VA Margret, 54, b. KY James, 30 KY Eliza, 24, KY Thos Ann, 20, female (yes, it really looks like Thos), KY Sabra, 17, female, KY John, 14, KY 1850: Dist. No. 1, Jefferson Co. KY page 194 (printed) or 384 (written) James Sisson, 52, Cooper, VA Margaret, 44, KY J. W., male, 21 KY E J, 17, female, KY S or L A, 9, female, KY S or L E, 7, female, KY J. H., 4, male, KY Emily, 17, born Indiana (don't know WHO she was!) On ancestry.com, there are four entries for what I think has to be this James Sisson. None have sources, but here is what they say, and they are a good jumping off point: James L. Sisson, b. Aug 1798, Fairfax Co. VA, d. 16 Oct 1871, Jefferson Co. KY, son of Vincent Sisson, b. 1778, Richmond Co. VA and Julia ____, b. abt 1780, Fairfax Co. Married 24 July 1828, Margaret Randolph and had: Effie Sisson, b. 1829, James W. Sisson, b. 1833 Laura Sisson, b. 1841 S. E. Sisson, b. 1843 Unknown Sisson, b. 1846 Continuing: Vincent Sisson, born 1778, Richmond Co. VA, d. after 1850 in KY, married Julia ___ in Fairfax Co. VA. They had five children, James L. being one of them. This same tree says Vincent Sisson was the son of Robert Sisson, b. 1756-1760 in Richmond Co. VA and Sarah "Sally" Washington, b. 1760, VA. Robert died 21 April 1825 in Fairfax Co. VA. Robert was the son of William Sisson, b. abt 1735 in Maryland or Virginia, married Katherine/Catherine. William died after 1782. I have no idea how good the Fairfax and Richmond Co. Virginia records are on the internet. There used to be a Sisson family organization, but I've been out of touch with them for a very long time. I really thank you for putting me onto this research. For years I have wondered who the John Sisson in Henderson Co. was in the 1880 census. I was pretty sure he wasn't my John, but he was a mystery. Now the only mystery is why he was in Henderson Co. at all and why he wasn't a cooper any more. Good luck tracking down the Sissons in Virginia. Susan Jones

Hello Everyone, A last-minute reminder - The Sisson Gathering is planned for the Radisson Hotel in Rochester, New York, on June 22-24. I talked with the woman who handles "special functions" there a few minutes ago, and she tells me that they must "release" the rooms now being saved next Monday, May 22. After Monday, May 22, the $84 rate will no longer be available. What worries me more is that once the rooms are released, it may be difficult for you to book a room there altogether. That weekend is graduation day for many area high schools. Many wedding receptions are planned for that weekend too. This is High Season here in Rochester. If you think you might be coming to the Gathering, now is the time to book your room. The Radisson's phone is 585-475-1910. Be sure to mention the Sisson Gathering and the special $84 room rate. Yours, David Arne Sisson

In the 1900 census, Wesley is living in Mt. Vernon, NY, working as a book publisher, with wife Mary Elizabeth and a daughter Claudine (b. 1882) who is working as an actress. In 1910 census, still in Mt. Vernon, Wesley working as secretary of an insurance company. In the 1920 census, Westley (sic) and Mary still in Mt. Vernon, Wesley now working in magazine advertising. From "Descendants of Richard and Mary Sisson: Ten Generations from 1608" by Joan and Dave Sisson, p. 291, Wesley and his brother William were both living in Mt. Vernon in 1938.

Information about the newsletter is available at // http://www.eogn.com/ <http://www.eogn.com/>/. /Well-Known Genealogist Murdered* * When neighbors in Port Orange, Florida, heard the pops, they thought Linda Sue Anderson was shooting off fireworks again. The 54-year-old Gregory Circle resident was known for her erratic behavior. Neighbors said she was "unbalanced." Even when some peeked outside their homes and saw Anderson holding what looked like a gun, no one suspected what police would later tell them: that Anderson had apparently shot and killed Robert F. and Shirley B. Goerlich. Anderson would later tell Port Orange police: "I hate them . . . they have been torturing me . . . they make me cookies with green mothballs in them and I get sick." The woman was described by neighbors as having "some sort of mental problems." When arrested, she kicked out a window in the squad car that was to carry her to the police station. Linda Sue Anderson, 54, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the couple's deaths. Anderson remains in jail without bail, according to officials from the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach, Fla. Shirley B. Goerlich was a well-known genealogist. She and her husband lived in Unadilla, New York. Following their retirement, they spent winters in Florida and summers in Unadilla. Shirley Boyce Goerlich was the author, editor or transcriber of many books, including: * Genealogy : A Practical Research Guide * History of Unadilla, Otsego County, New York * History of West Unadilla : Otsego County, New York : Riverside Route 7, northwest Unadilla and the business district of adjacent Sidney, NY (Delaware County) * East Guilford (New York) Cemetery * New York State census, town of Guilford, Chenango County, New York * Delaware County, New York : raw materials from the past * Etched in stone in Sidney, Delaware County, New York * Masonville, Delaware County, New York : early records from the past * Military service roster, Civil War, Town of Masonville, Delaware County, New York * U.S. Federal/New York State census, Town of Sidney, Delaware County, New York, 1850 * Military service roster, Civil War, Town of Franklin, Delaware County, New York * At rest in Unadilla, Otsego County, New York * New York State census, Town of Unadilla, Otsego County, New York * Guest register, the Unadilla House : January 1888 to September 1890, Unadilla, Otsego County, New York * Town of Guilford, Chenango County, New York: burial grounds and cemeteries She also wrote a column for the Daily Star of Unadilla, NY.
