Hi,
I am looking for info on CISSELLS born in Missouri and then moved to Texas in the 1850s.
William Augustine CISSELL married Matilda Ann HOLSTER in Missouri 1859 and had 9 children. They later moved to Yoakum, Texas.
Two of the children, Martin and William Augustine(Jr?), served in the Civil War.
I have very little info on most of the children.
Thanks,
Janet
The Union-Graves Co Catholic Crowd (includes Fancy Farms area) are a bunch I
have not sorted out. I have lots of Cissell's without parents, let alone
grandparents.
Henry Cissell m 1848 Mary Hetty Hardesty daughter of Charles and Mary A
Riney Hardesty-who are the parents of this Henry?
James Cissell m Elizabeth UNK and had Elizabeth Cissell b 1816, she married
George Wathen 1832 Union Co, KY
Charles C Cissell, b 1790, son of Charles and ?, m Catherine McPhereson
1816, Nelson Co, KY -their children Alexander T, Helen, John C, Elizabeth
Ann, and Mary Ann, most of whom married in Union Co, KY.
Nerius Nevins Cissell m Anastasia Blandford, 1825, Union Co, KY. I also
have she married Lewis Cissell, brother to Joseph Cissell who married
Harriet Bowles. I do not have parents for any of these.
And lastly, Raphael Cissell who married Elizabeth Watts, in 1838 Union Co,
KY.
Can anyone share missing information?

Phillip Riley (ptril(a)peoplepc.com) sent me this note
I thought I would send this to you in that it might connect to a branch of
your Cissells. The attachment are the death certificate of Elizabeth
Cissell Mullen and wordperfect documents detailing the Elizabeth Cissell
Mullen family and William Cissell family. According to this death
certificate, Elizabeth Cissell was born May 23, 1826 in Perry Co. Ind.
and died April 5, 1911 in Hickman Co., Ky. Elizabeth married John Mullen
Jan. 22, 1846 in Union Co, Ky., and the newlyweds moved to Hickman Co. that
same year, who they lived out the remainder of their years. This certificate
lists her father as William Cissell, born in Washington Co. and her mother
as Elizabeth Cissell, born in Perry Co. Ind. John and Elizabeth Mullen as
well as William Cissell both appear on Hickman Co. tax rolls for the first
time in 1846. William Cissell disappears after 1857, but he is listed on
the 1850 Hickman Co. Census as being 49 years old. I have researched her
because I think she is the sister of my g-g-grandfather, Silas Cissell, who
married Martha Mayes in Union Co., Ky. in 1844, and who moved to Hickman Co.
in 1853. I was hoping to find the parents of Silas thru Elizabeth Mullen,
but have not yet proven that they were brother and sister. However, the
fact that the Silas's son, William Henry, was living with the Mullen family
in 1870 at which time he is listed on that year's census in the Mullen
household makes the relationship seem likely to me.
I believe that I have seen postings by you concerning a William Cissell who
was descended from John Baptist Cissell, one of the early settlers of
Washington County, Ky. John Baptist had a son, William, who served with
George Rogers Clark, and this William is said to have moved to Indiana about
1815. Allegedly, this William Cissell had a son,born in 1801, also named
William who married several times, once to an Elizabeth. This William
matches the William who appears in Hickman Co in 1846, but oddly, the
listings I have seen don't mention a daughter Elizabeth born in 1826.
Perhaps you can make sense of all this.
Yours truly
Phillip Riley
Do any of you have information to verify his assumptions, and otherwise
provide him with more information about this line? He did send me some
