John SIAS I of Ipswich, Wells, and Durham (Oyster River
Parish)
Sarah Ann PITMAN |
There seem to be two versions of the origin of
the John SIAS who married Sarah Ann PITMAN, though I've yet to see documentation
supporting either:
1) that he was a French Huguenot immigrant to New England named Jean SIEYES; 2) that he was born in New England and was the son-in-law of William ROBERTS of Oyster River. I have no idea which version may be correct. It may also be that the father of the John SIAS who married Sarah Ann PITMAN was Jean SIEYES and he is the one who married the daughter of William ROBERTS. Or none of the above. |

Southworth-Anthoensen Press, Portland, ME (republ. 1972ff by Genealogical Publ. Co., Baltimore, MD; Broderbund CD-523). Regretably, the authors indicate that they "modernized" dates and spellings, so this is not a verbatim compilation of records. An example of the reason not to do such tampering is evidenced below by the inconsistency of John's record of military service in 1693-4. Did the original say, "John Sias" or "John Cyas"? We'll have to consult the original to be certain. The authors' entire coverage of SIAS is given below, as found on p. 633 (bold-face as per original):
