Rebecca is specifically listed as Jeremiah Cissell's mother in O'Rourke's
"Catholic Families of Southern Maryland," and also in Jourdan's
"Colonial
Records of Southern Maryland." Both of these books refer to the same
source, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church records. To my knowledge, these
records are considered very reliable.
There were a few John Cissells alive in SMC at the same time as the John
Baptist Cissell who came to KY. This marriage between John Cissell and
Susanna Brewer in 1770 must have involved one of the other John Cissells.

Now that I have had time to review the corrections Mary sent, I question
that Rebecca Unknown, the first wife of John Baptist Cissell can be the
mother of Jeremiah Cissell. I have his birth:
26-Sep-1773, based on St Andrew's Episcopal Church Records, p 20 in for
registry of his birth. If this is the case, then Barbara Fitzgerald
bcf855(a)nwws.com 65 Upland Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80906, research
shows that John m Susanna Brewer 1770. (the marriage to Rebecca was c 1762
based on the births of Thomas, Ann 'Nancy', and William Cissell-these birth
dates based on O'Rourke- Births St. Andrews Epis. Church, Leonardtown,
Maryland) Therefore, Rebecca can't be the mother of Jeremiah. Any others
weigh in on this?
