Dear Steven, Congratulations on finding Robert Sisson in the Valley Forge Encampment lists. That is a wonderful discovery. I wonder whether any of my folks were there. Could you explain how you found the Valley Forge site and what its address is? Thanks very much also for noting Jack Sisson's presence in the Revolution. I remember some talk a few years ago on this list about Jack Sisson. He was a slave belonging to one of Richard and Mary's descendants. There was a fairly extensive article about him in the Sisson Newsletter edited by Dave and Joan Sisson. Jack was "allowed" to enlist in the militia. He fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill, if I recall correctly. I hope I am correct in reporting that, but I am relying on my frequently faulty memory. I'm sure that one of my cousins will correct me if I am wrong. I wish I could remember how to find the references to him. I've tried using the Pico search engine that Carol as furnished for us on the Sisson site - to no avail. And my index to the Newsletter refers only to "blood" descendants (and their spouses) of Richard and Mary.
