Fourth Generation
(Continued)
|
108. Peleg SISSON (Thomas
, George
, Richard
) was born 1720 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island. He died Dec 1799 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island.
Besides the children named for Peleg and his first wife, Rebecca Ingraham, there were probably other children. Some sources call his first wife Jane Ingraham. Peleg and his second wife Content Lamphere West, widow of Timothy West, were married by Joseph Crandall at Brightman's Pond, Westerly, RI. Peleg's will was dated November 27, 1798, and was proved December 30, 1799. It named his wife Content, and sons Elisha, Sanford, Barney, Joseph, and Peleg. SOURCES: Arnold 5:59, 60, 133, 134; Westerly, RI, VRs; Rhode Island V.S. Washington County, p.288.
Some sources list Peleg with children Esther, Lucy, Rebecca, and Catherine. These are in fact the children of Peleg's son, Peleg Jr.
|
|
Peleg married (1) Rebecca INGRAHAM about 1742 in Brightman's Pond, Westerly, Washington Co., Rhode Island. Rebecca was born about 1723.
According to the Sisson Newsletter, v 6 #1 p 14, "Among Gerry's [Sisson's] records we found unconfirmed information that the first wife of Peleg, v 1 #4 p 7, was _Rebecca_ Ingraham. It appears reasonable since there is a granddaughter named Rebecca. Recent correspondence from John Deland of Utah also mentions this. If anyone has confirmation, please let us know."

112. Jane SISSON (John
, George
, Richard
) was born about 1714 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island. She died before 1768 in Foster, Providence Co., Rhode Island.
Jane Sisson may have been born about 1714 in Tiverton or Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Jane Sisson is mentioned in her grandfather George Sisson's will of August 20, 1718, as "daughter of John." Jane and her husband Hugh Cole moved in 1750 to Scituate. She is buried in the Peabody Burying Ground, Newport, Rhode Island. It is not clear whether Hugh Cole married Jane Sisson, the daughter of John Sisson (Richard 1, George 2) and Jane Peabody, or Jane Sisson, the daughter of George (Richard 1, George 2) and Mercy Ann Warren. Indeed the two Janes may be one person, born to George and Mercy, but taken in by John and Jane. It has been published both ways. Sources: "Luther Family: Descendants of Capt. John Luther of Massachusetts Bay Colony," Leslie L. Luther, Moravia, New York, 1952, p 1264.

Jane married Hugh COLE Jr. on 13 Aug 1730. Hugh was born 19 Sep 1706 in Swansea, Bristol Co., Massachusetts. He died in Foster, Providence Co., Rhode Island.
Hugh Cole's line is given in the Cole genealogy as James [1], Hugh [2], [3], [4], [5], and in the Luther genealogy as John [1], Samuel [2], Martha (Luther) Cole [3], Hugh Cole [4]. It is not clear whether Hugh Cole married Jane Sisson, the daughter of John Sisson (Richard 1, George 2) and Jane Peabody, or Jane Sisson, the daughter of George (Richard 1, George 2) and Mercy Ann Warren. Indeed the two Janes may be one person, born to George and Mercy, but taken in by John and Jane. It has been published both ways.
