Surnames: Risley Grant Griswold Petty Reed Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1AC.2ACI/1823 Message Board Post: Seeking info and children of Asa (or Asahel) Risley (or Wrisley) listed on the 1800 census having lived in Williamstown, Orange, Vermont, and in 1810 he lived in Berlin, Washington (formerly Orange), Vermont. He was born 1776 in Gill, Franklin, Massachusetts. By 1820 he had moved to Canton, St. Lawrence, New York. He died 1843 in Hermon, St. Lawrence, New York. He was married first to Abigail Grant and then to Sophia Griswold. Asa Risley is sometimes listed as 'Jr.' and believed to be the son of Asa Risley and Dorcas Petty. I believe that Asa Risley and Abigail Grant are the parents of Asenath Risley born 1805 in Vermont. I believe she married John Reed (born circa 1795 in Hermon, NY). Would like some proof. Any help appreciated.
