For a few years I have been researching my great grandfather, Erastus Sisson. I was beginning to believe he didn't exist. Pulled up on Ancestry.com the Missouri Marriages, 1851-1900. It shows Eratus Sisson married Ravilea A. Roberts on April 25, 1861 in Lafayette County Missouri. Actually I believe his name was misspelled. They had nine children and Ravilea died in 1883 with several young children including my grandmother, Annie Lee Sisson, born in 1874 in Lafayette County Missouri. Erasuts Sisson (note the difference in the spelling) married again to Annie Adams on September 18, 1889 in Lafayette County Missouri. I don't have a DOD yet, but still researching that. In that same year of 1889, a William A. Lockhart married Lissie Sisson. William Lockhart was my grandfathers brother and Lissie Sisson was my grandmothers sister. Pulled up the Jackson County Missouri 1930 Census Report and it shows my grandmothers brother, John Sisson, his wife Caddie Sisson and daughter Lesta Sisson. I shows that his father, Erastus Sisson was born in Virginia as the case of all the information I have. I believe that I need to backtrack from Missouri to Virignia and I think that they were living in Kentucky before moving to Missouri. Erastus was born in 1837 in Virginia. My grandfather and grandmother, Albert M. Lockhart and Annie L. Sisson were married in Lafayette County Missouri January 20, 1895. If any of these names, places, or dates are familiar with anyone that subscribe to the Sisson list, please write me. I would appreciate any information that I can receive. My sister and I made a trip down to Lexington and Wellington Missouri (Lafayette County) a week ago to look up anything we could at the court house and library. The city cemetary in Wellington does have some of my ancestors buried there. One day is not enough to take care of all the years of research I need to do.
