I don't know if this is Mary Ann and Roxalana's father but assume it is. > > The SYPERT family migrated from Chatham Co. NC to Wilson Co. TN in the early 1800's. > Mary Ann Sypert married James RIZEN (RISEN). She had a sister Roxalana who married Peter Rizen in 1830. I have not yet located any further information about the Rizens. I wonder if James and Peter were brothers?? > > Let me know if there is any other specific information you need. I will be glad to share what I have. > > ______________________________
