1658 Immigrated to either Barbados or MD from Wales, England
From the book "Colonial Settlers, St. Clement's Bay 1734-1780, St. Mary's County, Maryland" by Mary Louise Donnelly, states "John Cissell (Cecil), a Catholic, immigrated to the Province of Maryland in 1658 from Wales, England (Patents 4:29). He married Mary_______. Upon his arrival John Cissell was a man of means as he purchased a numer of tracts in St. Mary's County. He became the possessor of 150 acres of "White Acre" which on 11/12/1652 had been patented to Samuel Harris; 200 acres of "Poplar Neck" which had been patented for William Brough on 11/25/1642, who died in 1651 leaving his total estate to his wife Sarah (w 1:37). By 1707 the sons of John Cissell owned this acreage. John Cissell purchased 100 acres of "Cadloe" as did his brother William, which was patented on 11/4/1650 for Joseph Cadloe, who died in 1652. John Cissell also obtained 100 acres of "Long Neck" which on 6/10/1681 had been surveyed for John Addison who moved to Prince George's County.
John Cissell, a gunsmith, wrote his will on 4/28/1698 and it was probated on 6/6/1698. To his sons John, William and Thomas, he left 150 acres of "White Acre." To his sons Richard and Robert he left 100 acres of "Long Neck". His son Edward was to receive the home plantation "Poplar Neck" after the death of his wife. If Edward died without heirs it was to pass to his youngest son James. On 7/26/1698 the estate of John Cissell was appraised and valued at L75.11.oo (inv 16;200)
Elise Greenup Jourdan, in "Early Families of Southern Maryland, Volume 1" 1992, states that "the Cecils and Cissells were prolific families who settled in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania in the 17th century. Their descendants pioneered lands in Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois and many other states. " Generally, Cecil is used for the Protestant lines and Cissell for the Catholic, but there are many spellings used in an assortment of records that are not consistent.
