George Addison was born possibly 1766 or 1767.
He and Mercy Dodge, both residents of Weare, NH, married on 08/30/1798 in Dunbarton, NH, when he was 23 and she was 18-20.
One of their children was George W. Addison who was born 11/29/1803 in Huntington, VA, and died 02/04/1857.
They also had a son William, born
1768, married 12/25/1788 to Margaret Moreland. My notes say "they went
west" and I presume this means William and Margaret.

MERCY DODGE married
George Addison, Jr. on Aug. 30, 1798 in Dunbarton. The bride was the
daughter of Antipas Dodge, born in Haverhill, Mass. and Anna Ramsey. The
groom was the son of George Addison and Sarah Gott

Dess's father George H. is referred
to in Jackie's notes as George the 6th. There are an alarming number of
GeorgeAddisons in this family, which makes family tree work difficult.
Anyway, Dess's father George H. was
born on 02/10/1836 to George W. and Esther Miller Addison. George H. had
a sister named Elizabeth J. (Eliza) and a sister named Mary
(Henderson). Eliza is the one who wrote the letter to her nieces Emma
and Esther, sisters of Miller Henderson and daughters of Mary
Henderson. In George H's obituary it is stated that he made several
trips to California and that on one of the trips, his third, he took his
sisters Eliza and Ann and Ann's husband Charles Mallory. I am starting
to get a headache here.
Esther, Emma, and Miller were the children of Mary Addison Henderson, Dess's aunt.
Eliza and Mary were the daughters of George W., Dess's grandfather, and, of course, the sisters of Dess's father George H.
George H. sold two pieces of land in
Illnois for a total of $750 - $500 for 40 acres on 12/09/1863 and $250
for 40 acres on 03/01/1864 (sold to Lucius Deal). I wonder why he wasn't
fighting in the Civil War? Many men paid a substitute, so possibly he
did this.
George may have used the money he
received from these sales to go on the third trip to California. He was
back in Illinois by 1865 because he married Adelaide on February 16 of
that year.

George Harrison Addison came to
Oakland, Iowa in 1889 and lived on the same street [then called Grab
Street] for 33 years, until his death on March 2, 1922.
He ran a rendering plant, one of the
first until he retired, and his son George H. Addison, Jr. took it
over, running it for 40 years, he owned the first house on Grab Street.
George Jr. dug wells and many farmers today are still using these wells.
Another brother Dess D. Addison
settled at Minden, Iowa and also ran a rendering plant for forty years,
he also dug wells, and moved large buildings, moving the Minden school
house out two miles east of Minden on the old Cook farm. The school was remodeled and the family moved in after fire destroyed their home in the spring of 1915.
The street in Oakland, Iowa is now called Addison Ave. [see separate note on this]

John Addison
is found in New Boston Township in the 1860 census: John, 53, farmer,
born New Jersey; Abba, 45, born Ohio; Mary J., 22, In; Jasper, 16, In;
Elizabeth, 11, In. Jasper married Mornelva Pullen, daughter of Elias and Susannah Pullen
on 2/6/1865. There was also an Addison marriage in Rock Island County
on 2/16/1865 (George H. Addison to Adda Bowker) so there may have been
some connection to this Addison family. No other Addisons are found in
Mercer County. John and Abigail are still in New Boston Township in
1870. John's birthplace is shown as Ohio in this census. Elizabeth and
Mary Jane are still at home and there is a son John E., age 10. Son
Jasper and family live nearby (see Pullen page).We
did not find a marriage record in Indiana for John and Abigail, nor do
we find marriages in Mercer County except for Jasper and Mornelva.
