Hi Laurie Welcome to your extended family. Caleb was known as the Squire of Rockbridge -- Big land owner around 1790 to 1810. There are a few Sissons in the area after that -- Abram Sisson in 1820. I reside in the Shenandoah Valley and could probable do a look up on the Hollingsworth family over Thanksgiving weekend. Note to Sharon: I thought Robert K. Sisson of Ohio (around 1880) was kin to the Caleb Sisson branch from Rockbridge-Roanoke. Don't we have a DNA link on that line?

Steven, Laurie's question wasn't about Sisson. It was about Hollingsworth. That name may be a coincidence, but a Hollingsworth man married a Sisson woman descended from Caleb. We don't have any information yet about Laurie's Sisson line. But if it's a Virginia line, one of us will probably have the details.
