4/24/2014 -- Pictures of the Capt. John Bissell homestead, several courtesy of Connie Bissell Schweiger. Also added new information about John Bissell's wives, about the old Bissell Tavern, about the Bissell Ferry and about the death of John Bissell, Jr.
4/21/2013 -- See some new information on the Mercy Ann Searle family tree page and particularly the information about the Goose Pond Sugar Shack website. The website also has a link to their Facebook site, which I think is where they are currently most active on the internet. The Goose Pond maple sugaring operation has been going on for many generations on the Bissell family farm in Goshen, Massachusetts.
