I've been away for my research for a few years due to health problems, so my apologies
if I'm repeating an old question. Listed below is what I think is my Cissell ancestry,
but I know there's been a lot of confusion with so many Johns and Jameses. I've
been reading the St. Marys, MD list and there is also some controversy about John Baptist
Cissell (#2 below) marrying Mary Shircliffe. I'd appreciate help from fellow Cissell
researchers in correcting any mistakes in this branch of my tree, including a listing of
supporting evidence.
Thanks.
