I asked Simone Barrett Lawrence who is a descendent like me of Henry Johnson and Rebecca Kissiah.They were both born around 1790 and were married around 1810.Simone said her grandfather Allen Washington Winburn left a pedigree dated about 1935 and he had Henry Johnson married to Rebecca Kissiah or something like that.In Hartsville there is a Larry Joe Kissiah, Jr. and he has given her information.When I was at Cheraw, in the cemetery book for Chesterfield County, there is a whole long list of Kissiahs in various spellings.Related to the Kissiahs are the Padgett and the Isgetts and Gaineys.Elizabeth Kissiah of 1833 married Jordan Gainey and Mary Catherine Kissiah married William H. Gainey about the same time, I think.We ran a check on ancestry.com and found a lot of Kissiahs all over the place.I asked two people with German background one of them born in Germany and they said it was a Jewish name.When we checked Jewish.com they said they did not have it on record.There is a word in the Bible of Kezia, but they did not use surnames in the Bible.The name can be spelled with ss or zz or with one or two s or z.In the mid 1800s on some of the titles and plots I have of the Johnsons in lower Chesterfield County, John Kissiah is living around them.They were related, I assume, some how.I assume that John Kissiah and Henry are both related to Rebecca Kissiah.I have seen John Kissiah listed in the cemetery book too.There has to be a real close relationship either kin or close friend between the Johnson, Kissiahs and the Gaineys.I am two or three other people checking on the name Kissiah besides my personal research.I would like to know, since she is supposed to be my g-g-grandmother what her background was, her culture, her family, where they came from, etc.If your grandmother has any information about Rebecca Kissiah or any of her family, please send me the information.My personal e-mail is [email protected] for responding to my query.Lonnie T. Johnson
