Thank you for the information. Yes, I believe you are referring to
Elizabeth Henrietta Raney, who married Thomas Cissell, b 13 Mar 1790, in
Martin, IN in 1822. This Thomas is the son of Bennett and Elisha
?Cissell. Eventually this ties into my Cissell line with James Cissell
and Rachel Adams.

melissa,
My wife is a descendant of Felix raney born in Ky, moved to
Indiana. An old member of the family kept many old things from her
mother. She had written on a piece of paper that one of the sisters of
Felix Raney was Ritta Cissell and she married Thomas Cissell.
She also had a letter from Oscar Cissell of Loogoote Indiana dated
Feb 10th 1885. It was adressed to Aunt and Uncle. In it he mentions John
Obrian, and his Uncle Felix and Uncle Bob.
All this data matches up with what I found on
ancestry.com. My
wife thinks the parents of Felix were Clement and Susan Montgomery I am
wondering how you or your husband are related to the Cissell family?
My wife, Sue , and I made a trip to Indiana and did some research.
Felix is buried in Lincoln County, Missouri with his wife Hanna Belle,
nee Morris.
