    1. [SISSON] Correction to the Gathering Notes
    2. David A Sisson
    3. Dear Cousins and Friends, I have heard from Sara J. Lyon of Olympia, Washington. Sara says, "Nancy Bruce CRILLY, a 2nd cousin of my husband, and Gary Ward both attended and enjoyed The Gathering very much." Sara also pointed out a mistake I made in the notes I took at the Gathering, and I want to correct it. She notes that I wrote that "Gary [Ward]'s great-great grandfather was Otis Sisson, of Lockport, Illinois." Sara gave me the correct descent: "Gary's great-grandfather was *HOLDER SISSON* of Lockport - not Otis." Gary's descent from Holder Sisson leads through George Washington Sisson, George A. Sisson, and Lorraine Sisson to Gary Ward. Sara's husband, Robert Jay Lyon is also "descended from Holder through a daughter, Harriet Ellen Sisson." If anyone notices other corrections or clarifications I can make to the Gathering notes, please let me know. I will gladly set the record straight. It is really good to get this kind of feedback on the notes. This was a first for the Gatherings; no notes have ever been taken before, and I am glad that we have begun what I hope will become tradition. Yours, David Arne Sisson
