Edward Sise was born at Castlelyon near Cork, Ireland. He took passage to America via New Brunswick, Canada in 1784, narrowly escaping death on Dec 16 when his ship ran aground at the entrance to Kennebunk Harbor, Maine. He settled in Dover, NH as a house builder until 1791 when a fall from a scaffold led him to go into the wholsesale lumber business with a partner, Joseph Gage (1764-1802). He returned to sea in 1796 as a supercargo but fell into the hands of French, then British, privateers in the West Indies. He returned to Dover and served as Lt Col commanding the 3rd Regiment of the New Hampshire Militia in the War of 1812.
Edward saved letters to and from his relatives in Ireland which proved invaluable in tracing Sise family history.
