Forwarded from [email protected]: I believe I checked all of the databases listed and cannot find my Sisson family. They must be related to some of them because my 3rd great grandfather is from Westerly RI. The family is: Noah B. Sisson-b Nov 9, 1789 Westerly, RI-d Apr 8, 1852 Cobb Co. GA Wife-Charlotte Goddard-b Jan 7, 2796 Savannah, GA Dau-Henrietta Sisson-b Oct 6, 1827 Savannah, GA-d Sep 9, 1890 Roswell GA Dau-Chalotte Sisson-b Sept 14, 1814 Savannah, GA-same day Son-Elisha Sisson-b Oct 16, 1815-d Sep 11 1835 Charleston SC Son-Lane Sisson-b Jan 1, 1817 Savannah, GA-d Sep 30, 1821 Savannah, GA Son-Charles Sisson-b Nov 16, 1821 Savannah, GA Son-Thomas Sisson-June 10, 1832-d Jan 10, 1844 Dau-Julia Ann Sisson-Feb 12, 1834 Charleston SC Noah owned a fleet of ships. After marriage he liived in Charleston SC, Savannah and Roswell, GA. Elisha fell from the schooner Essell in Charleston Harbor and drowned. Thomas drowned in a creek after moving to Georgia. This information must be credited to Anna Mae Wright Hamilton and the Wright Family book she compiled. If anyone can connect me to Noah's parents and further back I would be greatful.

AOL EmailHi Kathleen, I'm so sorry I couldn't find him. I truly know how it is not to be able to find someone that you know existed. If you'd just keep the name Creameans in mind when you're out searching, I'd really appreciate it. My gggrandfather, Charles Creameans, supposedly came from KY -- no one if for sure. We do know he married Agnes Burton and they traveled a lot. They were married in MO and lived in various locations throughout AR. Her line is well documented, but his just trails off into nothing. Thanks and if I find anything more, I'll definitely let you know.

No, Cathy, it isnot him, but I really appreciate what you have done. I guess I am reaching for miracles here and I am sorry. A letter written to my grandmother says William went to war and never came home and I guess that will always be the case. He wasn't the only sad causualty in that group. Three of his brothers met the same fate....never found, never came home. I will keep this info for someone who can use it to guide them and I thank you from the bottom of the heart. If I can return the favor, please let me know. I do have some books on early Virginia settlers and also deed abstracts from VA very beginnings so if you need a look up for someone(s), let me know.

I found a site called Scottish Documents that lists a Charles Sisson in its database, dated 6/7/1880. It says he was formerly of the War Office, Whitehall, afterwards of 37 Marquess Road, Canonbury, Islington, both in Middlesex, late of Claringbold House, St Peters, Isle of Thanet, Kent. This had something to do with a non-Scottish court. Copies of wills, testaments and inventories, and some others, are available for sale, of course, though I don't know at what price. Documents range from 1500-1901. The site is at http://www.scottishdocuments.com/content/default.asp Cathy

There are 9 Sissons -- including an Oliver and a Perry -- who were POWs at Andersonville Prison. It lists both Union and Confederate soldiers. You can also search for others that wern't at Andersonville. Go to http://pacivilwar.com/pow/ Cathy

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission has 6 results for Confederate Pensions. The link is at http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/pensions/index.html Cathy

Carol and Laura, I think you're talking about a number of documents related to an exchange of lawsuits between Westmoreland Co, VA and Bristol, England between the late 1670's and the early 1700's. Daniel Sisson of Westmoreland had a brother in Bristol and he had named his brother's children as his heirs in case his own two sons did not live to inherit his estate. As it turned out, Daniel's sons did not live, but he had a daughter, Frances, who was born after his death. The brother in Bristol claimed the Frances couldn't inherit because she hadn't been named, and sued the estate. The court said that Frances should inherit, because Daniel would have provided for her if he'd known about her. Later, the Bristol cousins sued again, when Frances died young without children. Eventually, Frances' guardian and executor, Lawrence Washington (yes, THOSE Washingtons!) seems to have settled the question by buying land from Daniel's estate and sending the money to Bristol. Frances left portions of her estate to Washington's children, as well. From descriptions of the property of Daniel Sisson, it appears that at least a portion of his property became part of George Washington's Birthplace. I had suggested that the researcher in England have a look at Bristol, but I'm not sure that ever happened. We have no evidence at all that Daniel and Robert of adjoining Richmond County were related or even knew each other. There is no indication of any interaction between them, but old publications have assumed that Robert and Daniel were brothers. Personally, I doubt it. I'm sure this must be the story you're referring to.
