Message Board Post:
Researching/looking for information on the family of Charles Cissna born May, 1860 in
Indiana. 1870 census shows his family in Westchester, Porter county, Indiana: with Charles
(father?) b. 1810 in Ohio, and presumed siblings Robert, John, Sarah, (Charles), Deborah,
William, and Joseph all said to be born in Indiana ranging from 1852 (Robert) to 1867
(Joseph). In 1880 Charles Cissna was living in Michigan City, La Porte, Indiana with his
brother John. Charles married his first wife Maud, surname unknown, there and son Ray was
born there in 1882. They went to Dakota, where son John R. was born (also called Jack).
Then to Washington State where they resided in what became Bellingham, Whatcom COunty,
Washington. Charles remarried Sada (Watkins) Black after Maud died in 1903. They also had
a son named Charles. Other members of this family also came to Washington. I'm looking
for the family connections in Indiana and Ohio. I'd like to know who were Charles
Cissna's parents?
