Everyone has expired. > > Sincerely, Maria Sisson-Tarkington Hi Maria! One possibility could be the "Monroe Sisson", age 4, in the 1850 census in Friendship, Allegany, NY. His parents were William and Sally Sisson. In this 1850 census, this William was 37, his wife Sally was 31, and they were living in the next household to Pardon (age 62) and Sally (60) Sisson. I have always believed that William was the son of Pardon and Sally, but have never been able to prove it by paper documentation. He could have been a nephew of Pardon instead. This Pardon Sisson's database webpage entry is currently at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~dasisson/richard/aqwg43.htm#1835 The names in parentheses behind his name are his ancestors in order, back to the immigrant couple Richard and Mary Sisson of Rhode Island, and each is clickable for more information.
