3697. Lorenso SISSON (Augustus Lyman , Augustus , Nathan , William , Thomas , George , Richard ) was born 1 Apr 1822. He died Aug 1870 in Cleveland, Cayahoga Co., Ohio.

This Lorenso Sisson, son of Augustus [7] Sisson (Richard [1], George [2], Thomas [3], William [4], Nathan [5], Augustus [6], Augustus [7]), fits so well with the Lorenzo (note spelling) Sisson who married Elizabeth Warner, that Carol Sisson Regehr and I (David Arne Sisson) have decided to include the marriage and their descendants, as far as are know so far, in this database. We need to search the records for Cuyahoga Co, Ohio, for a death record. Carol has obituaries for Elizabeth (Warren) Sisson and for Minnie (Swett) Sisson which seem to promise many more descendants.

Lorenso married Elizabeth WARNER on 14 Oct 1847 in Geauga Co., OH. Elizabeth was born 7 Sep 1828 in Leroy, Geauga Co., Ohio. She died 26 Jan 1922 in Amden, Ohio.
