    Notes 
    • [sisson.FTW]

      Philip Sisson, Jr., was a member of the family which released the "Negro
      Jack" to fight in the American Revolution (see The Sisson Newsletter, v 8
      #1). Philip was a ship builder and dealer in confiscated cargo. He had a
      half-brother Alvin Shepard. Philip and his wife Susannah (or Lusannah)
      Bowen were married by Judge Thomas Durfee at Freetown (later Troy),
      Massachusetts. Philip inherited land from his grandfather Thomas, on the
      Massachusetts-Rhode Island state line, seven miles from Fall River. They
      drove a cow across the state line to avoid paying a levy on the cow. The
      house had six bedrooms on the second floor, with a smokehouse above them.
      Downstairs was a keeping room, two parlors, a store room, bedroom,
      kitchen, pantry and hall. They had four slaves. In June 1813 the family
      moved to New York (probably State), then in 1816 they removed to Terra
      Haute, Indiana. Philip died circa 1817 in Indiana. See a map of Philip's
      house on the border of Rhode Island and Massachusetts: The Sisson
