I am looking for one of my great grandmother's daughters, a young lady Sisson -- her name might have been Sarah or Eliza Sisson born about 1805 or 1810. She was a daughter of Sarah (Cook) Sisson and William Sisson. William was of Dartmouth, Massachusetts. I have confirmation of William and Sarah's marriage and know that my William was born 1819 in Tiverton, RI, had two older sisters, one who died about 1840 and another who married and went to Texas with her husband. She married from Fall River, Massachusetts, or Tiverton, Rhoe Island, and moved with her husband to Texas. Sarah was alone in Troy (Fall River), Massachusetts, in 1820. Sarah's mother was Mary (Perry) Cook. Mary's will says that Mary "had done all she was going to do for Sarah Sisson and children. Thanks, Zelma Anderson "
