Can you state where Mary Ann and Benjamin Horace where born and their approx dates of birth?

I do not know when or where Mary Ann (Cross) Sisco died, but I do know her husband Horace Sisco, married twice more. The given name Benjamin seems to be misapplied to him, as all records found for him list him as Horace, including his military record in the Civil War. I have a lot of data on Horace and his descendants. If you are interested, please contact me.

I was going to try and help you search for data on Mary Ann (Cross) Sisco (no relation to this family) but like alot of members you give very little info to start with. This is a worldwide site there for Mary could have been born anywhere. Having said that is this your Couple's marriage ?

*** Born before Their marriage so is either a child of Horace's from a previous marriage, Horace would have be abt 17/8 at the time or maybe a younger brother. Or it could be a child of Mary who as take Horace's surname

Do know if any of the children in the census above belong to your family

Hi there cherokee2

Have you tried the public trees on Ancestry as there are clues there eg your Mary died 1883 at Dent City, Missouri. Thought it might help. Peter
