I have an 1885 newspaper obitiuary of a Eliza(Bailey) Brown, which states that her mother, Sarah (Sally) Ball Sisson was a second cousin to Gen'l George Washington. Sarah Ball Sission married a George W. Bailey and they lived in Frederickstown, Maryland when daughter Eliza was born. But a Census (IL)1860,of Eliza Bailey & husband Nichodemus Brown says she was born in VA. It has been told in my family for years we were connected to Geo Washington. If Sally Ball Sisson is a second cousin to George, she must somehow be a first cousin to Mary Ball, George's mother.
