Okay! With some detective work by Carol, and listings of unpublished genealogies that I have from Richmond/Westmoreland, we can take your family line all the way back to Robert and Amy, founders of the Richmond/Westmoreland line of Sissons. I have William Henry Sisson, Jr., born 21 July, 1856 in Richmond County, and died 4 Jan 1919 in Westmoreland. He was married to Willie Ann Collins (5 Mar, 1860-19 Jul, 1923), daughter of George W. Collins and Elizabeth Ann Reed He was the son of William Henry Sr. (1802-15 Aug. 1871) and Wm. H. Jr. was the son of his second wife, Elizabeth Sanford. William Sr.'s father was Henry Sisson (1762-5 Apr,1830), who married Winifred Smith in 1787. Henry was the son of John (ca. 1727-ca. 1792) and Mary Strother. John was the son of Henry (ca. 1705-6 Mar, 1775). His wife was Ann Meeks (d. after 1778), daughter of Richard and Ann. Henry was the son of William (ca. 1669-6 May, 1719), who married Martha Hudson (sometimes spelled Hodgson). William was the son of Robert (ca. 1630-ca. 1692), who was married to Amy, and Robert and Amy were the founders of the Northern Neck line of Sissons, with Robert first listed in the colony in 1653. So, Laurie, your line reads Robert, William, Henry, John, Henry, William H. Sr., William H. Jr., Benjamin R., George R., your father, you. Lots of information about these men is already listed on the website, ending with William Henry Jr. You might want to contact Carol with details of your line after William H. Jr., to bring it to date.
