I'm hoping through this blog I can share information I uncover as I pursue my family research. Much of my time has been and will be focused on one man, Benjamin Kissam. Benjamin was a lawyer in colonial New York and seems to be best known as the lawyer John Jay was apprenticed too. But Benjamin was involved in much more. He was a member of the first and second New York Provincial Congresses. He was also a vestryman in Trinity Church for almost twenty years. It's rumored he was a member of the Sons of Liberty. He is also my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather.
Hopefully this post will help me to start sharing the information I've uncovered about both this man and his family. We'll see :)
