Mary J. Polly JONES, daughter of Zebulon JONES and Mary COOLEY, in 1789 in New York State. Mary was born 20 Sep 1771 in Somers, Tolland Co., Connecticut. She died 3 Dec 1862 in Crown Point, Essex Co., New York.
Apparently Mary J./Polly/Molly (Jones) Sisson left the family between 1813 and 1815. Mary re-married, to Mr. Eaton. Her headstone contains the names of both John and herself. See Sisson Newsletter v.3, no.1. Mary/Polly Sisson is listed as a widow born in 1771 in Vermont, and living with her daughter Hulda and Hulda's husband Silas (or Cyrus) Buckman in the Crown Point assessor's rolls in 1835. Source: The Sisson Newsletter, v 6 #1 p 12. The Sisson Newsletter, v.4, no.1, p. 18, reports "In Volume 3, no.1, page 11, we stated that Mary Jones was born in Vermont as stated in the 1860 census. The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Statistics indicates that she was born in Somers, Connecticut. This is confirmed on her gravestone."
Mary married John Sisson. (John Sisson was born in 1769 in Hoosick, Rensselaer County, New York and died in Nov 1848 in Edinboro, Erie county, Pennsylvania.)
