Was just wondering I think Otis worked with my father. But alas, I cannot remember for sure. I love your signature. -----Original Message----- From: Julie C Hesson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 23, 2000 5:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WVMASON] Newspaper Obit Suzie Crump wrote: > BTW are you related to Otis Hesson? If he's from Mason County, my Sweet Prince probably is related to him. I didn't come by the name honestly, just legally--I married it! I haven't researched the other Mason Co. HESSON families, but am certain they all descend from James and Sarah Ann HESSON, who came down the river from Moon Twp., Allegheny Co., PA (near P'burgh). James and Sarah Ann settled in Mason Co. with their five sons and one daughter, before June 1852. Their sixth and last child, son Willisson, was born in Mason County, 08 Jul 1854. Willisson married Angeline Burris, daughter of Luther Burrows, and their son, John Edward HESSON, was my husband's grandfather. Julie, endlessly sorting out dead relatives.....mine, AND my hubby's!
