Hi Cuzzin',
Sorry I have not been in touch sooner. My computer has been alot of problems for us and being new to all this well it was a mess and quite frankly I forgot to check my Dewitt Co query!
I have others researching the Bissett's and would love to know what you know about them. I know that our Bissett's came from Nash Co.,N.C. to Ala then to Miss. and on to Tx. where they settled.

Generation #1
Lodewick Bissett b.5-8-1807(family says Germany)came from Nash Co.,N.C. and married Mourning Williams in Greene Co.,Ala., on 12-15-1829. Mourning Williams parents were Henry Williams and Mary(Polly) William. Yes they were kin! A double line of Williams.Their first born was a son born in Greene Co.,Ala. then the rest were born in Miss.

Generation #2
1) Lancelot L. Bissett(Baptist Minister) b.11-13-1830 Ala. d.1-1-1894 Dewitt Co.,Tx.
2) Barzilla Bissett b.5-7-1832 Ms. d.1-7-1921 Tx.
3) James Lee Bissett b.3-30-1834 Ms. d.11-1-1862 Tx.
4) Celety(Celesty)Ann Bissett b.7-26-1835 Ms.d.1-7-1842 Ms.
5) Amanda May Bissett b.10-2-1837 Ms. d.4-2-1924 Tx.
6) Aquilla Bissett b.4-29-1839 Ms. d.8-1919 Tx.
7) Emily Bissett b.2-20-1841 Ms. d.12-20-1920 Tx.
8) John Henderson Bissett b.5-24-1843 Ms. d.11-9-1924 Tx.
9) Christopher Chase Bissett b.3-29-1845 Ms. d.6-24-1863 Tx.
10) Lelia Arkigh Bissett b.5-9-1847 Ms. d.4-30-1921 Tx.
11) Henry Hines Bissett b.2-16-1850 Ms. d.9-28-1939 Tx.
12) Mary Jane Bissett(Mollie) b.6-13-1852 Ms. d.11-12-1923 Tx.

My line is Lancelot L. Bissett and his wife Sarah Lusk/Rusk ??? She was born in 1832 in Ms. This is all we know at this time on her.
Their children:
1) Theodocia (Doshey) Bissett
2) Alice Bissett
3) Caleb Bissett
4) Joshua Albert Bissett
5) Harriett Bissett
6) William Lewis Bissett
7) Isabella (Belle) Bissett
8) Matilda Adaline Bissett
I am descended from Matilda Adaline Bissett who married George Washington Squyres. She died after giving birth to her last child. She had 5 girls and 1 boy. Her husband remarried and they stayed in the area but the Bissett's had moved on to Bee Co.,Tx.
William and Isabella were twins. I have a picture of Belle.
I have alot more info but wanted to wait and see what you have. I am in touch with several of the Bissett descendants. I would love to share their email addresses and our history but wanted to wait and see what you have and want.
