Priscilla Foulke, wife of John Cessna, who died in Newberry, York, Pa, in 1751.Evidently when John died, she remarried a man by the name of Abraham Elliott and they ended up moving into North Carolina.Per his will, he lists his kids including two children, Ruth and Stephen Cisney (Cessna).......these were the two kids Priscilla and John had when he died.There was a Stephen Cissna/Cessna/Cisney that went into Muhlenberg Co, Kentucky that had a family in the Rosemont/Cisney township.......he was a comtempory of my 3rd gr grandfather in the same county........and both of these men had sons named Robert Cessna and they are listed in the 1850 census but they did not know or claim kinship to each other.Also in Muhlenberg co was a woman named Ruth Grundy married to a William Grundy.Her maiden name was Ruth Cessna and she was supposedly from North Carolina.She had a son named Robert Cessna Grundy.Again, I have no link between Ruth and my Robert Cessna and this other Robert Cisney/Cissna/Cessna, all in Muhlenberg co, Kentucky in the 1700 and 1800s.........how weird is that...........and whats the connection to Ruth and Stephen Cessna (Elliot)cheryl cessna in calif
