Sisk was born in Hopkins County, Jy., November 4, 1832, and is a son of Travis H. and Kesiah (Sisk) Sisk, natives of Hopkins County, and of English descent. Travis H. Sisk was educated and married in his native county, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits all his life. Robert Sisk, the grandfather of our subjuect, was a veteran in the war of 1812, and served in the Canadian campaign under Gen. Harrison. Travis Sisk's death occured January 27, 1882, in his seventy-second year. William H. Sisk was employed on his father's farm until he attained his majority. He then bought a partially impoved farm seven miles southeast from Madisonville, upon which he remained one year. He then bought 100 acres of wild land in what is now Dalton Precinct, twelve miles west from Madisonville, where he now resided and to which he has added from time to time, now owning well improved farms amounting to some 1,100 acres. His home farm, of 240 acres, is one of the best improved places in the district. In the fall of 1871 he erected a store building new his residence, and has since been successfully engaged in merchandising in connection with farming. He carries a well selected general stock, amounting to an average of about $3,000. He was one of the magistrates of the Dalton District for sixteen consecutive years, and for the last six years has also been postmatster at Silent Run. He was first married December 28, 1852 to Miss Pernecy O'Byran, a native of Hopkins County. To this union were born thirteen children, eleven of whom, seven sons and four daughters, are living. Mrs. Pernecy Sisk departed this life April 26, 1880, in her forty-third year. She was a devoted and consistent member of the Missionary Baptist Chruch. Mr. Sisk was next married in September, 1880, to Mrs. Martha (Holloman) Shackelford, also a native of Hopkins County. Two daughters have blessed this union: Gippa L., and an infant not named.
