Hmm: George Wing Sisson Jr. is a cousin of mine. I have a copy of a letter by his father GWS Sr. on his company letterhead. This family owned the Racoquette River Paper Company in Potsdam, New York and I have corresponded with Francis TenEyk Sisson who still lives in the Potsdam area. The letter was from George W Sisson Sr. to Mrs. C. W. Durland of Fredrick, South Dakota (spelled Fredick, So. Dacota) It was the first clue I had that my gggrandfather James Samuel Sisson had relatives in upstate New York!
