and the Bogus Connection between Maryland SIAS and New England SIAS |
I am descended from Benjamin
CORBIN & Sarah SIAS of Baltimore [now Carroll] Co., MD, hence my
interest in SIAS genealogy. The progenitors of SIAS in Maryland are
not certainly known, but may be John
SIAS & Mary CHAMBERS. Most SIAS / SYAS in early New England
(and those migrating through the northern tier of states) appear to be
descendants of John
SIAS & Sarah Ann PITMAN.
Many secondary sources have a supposed daughter of Benjamin & Sarah,
namely, a Sophia CORBIN of Huntingdon Co., PA, married to James SIAS of
New Hampshire as either his first or second wife, the other wife being
Patience DWIER. According to these sources, this James SIAS (Sr.)
and Sophia CORBIN, of Huntingdon Co., PA, were the parents of the James
SIAS (Jr.) who married Rebecca ADKINS and became the prolific progenitor
of SIAS in West Virginia. Geographically, the connection to New Hampshire
seemed to me so highly implausible that I set out to study New England
SIAS to see if I could either prove or disprove the connection. The
results of my research show:
Once I became convinced that my southern SIASes have no connection to the New England ones, I ceased research on the northern ones (rather abruptly, which is the reason you will run into obviously unfinished pages for them). Please note that I am no longer researching these northerly SIASes and that I have no additional information on them. Everything I have is online. And while I welcome and appreciate having any errors I've made corrected — please don't hesitate to contact me on that account — I am otherwise not interested in adding new information on these northern families. As for the Maryland ones, I definitely seek additional information on them, especially the identity of Sarah (SIAS) CORBIN's parents. Note that I have a suspicion that SIAS is actually a phonetic misspelling of SEARS, pronounced with either a strong British or Southern accent (try it). |

There is a SEARS Y-DNA Surname Project (including SIAS, SYAS, etc.) in progress at Family Tree DNA, but no SIAS has yet joined. There is also a CYR Y-DNA Surname Project at FTDNA, and a SIAS/SIER/SEARS has joined. If you are a SIAS, please join the project and be tested, so we can discover the origin(s) of SIAS. | |
