Now that we have a good group of subscribers to this list, let us all
introduce ourselves to each other.
My Cissell connection-my great great grandparents, Edward Thompson and Mary
Jane Mattingly were first cousins. Edward's parents were John Clement
Thompson, b c 1802 in KY, and Catherine Cissell b c 1805 in Washington Co,
KY. Catherine was the daughter of Jeremiah Cissell and Mary Vessells.
Jeremiah was the son of John Baptist Cissell and Rebecca Unknown.
Mary Jane's parents were Ignatius George Mattingly, b 1802 KY, and Anna
Nancy Cissell b c 1801, in Washington Co, KY. Her parents were the same
Jeremiah Cissell and Mary Vessells. The details are documented on my web
site under the report on the Ancestors of Bernard Thompson. As I have noted
before, researchers have yet to document the birth year or parents of this
John Baptist Cissell, although, since he was born in St. Mary's Co, MD, he
is clearly related to John Baptist Cissell the immigrant. Additionally,
Mary French, the wife of Robert Thompson b 1640, the immigrant, next married
Thomas Cissell, son of John Baptist Cissell, the immigrant, and Mary
Calvert. They had one son, Adam who married Betty ?. I have no further
information on this line.
