Mary Cissell

Not the same as Mary Dant

Research Notes from David Cissell

“For John Cissell there is no evidence ,that I know of, as to what his wife's madden name was. Similarly there are no records to indicate that he had a second wife. Linda Reno's notes under Mary Shircliffe suggest that she may have married 1st Peter Mills and secondly Thomas Dant [and so not John Cissell] As part of our DNA testing efforts, we have looked for matches with Shircliffe descendants and have found none.”

From Linda Reno

I have come to the conclusion that Mary Dant, daughter of John Shercliffe and Ann Spink was married twice, not thrice. I had married Mary Shercliffe off to John Cissell (d. 1698) because she was listed in the 1707 rent rolls as owning 25 ac. "Poplar Neck" along with the sons of John Cissell. John Cissell's wife was named Mary, but I just don't think she could have been Mary Shercliffe as she had to have been married to Thomas Dant by 1688 and she was still Mary Dant in 1707 and in 1712.
