  • Notes 
    • (Research):Per Mike Johnston, Ancestry World Tree, The Wisher-Shaffer Project:
      James G. Wisher (or James J.) was probably born in Fairfield County, Ohio, was a carpenter by trade, and married Sarah Evans in Fairfield County. Later he bought a small farm near Breman where his children were born. In 1869, the family moved to Allen County, Ohio and settled near Elida, where he died at about seventy years of age. He belonged to the United Brethren Church and was a class leader.

      From the Lima Daily News, Saturday Evening, May 23, 1908
      AWAITING THE GRAND REVIEW
      "The following are the names of the soldiers wh aere quietly resting in the different cemeteries of the vicinity and city, whose graves will be decorated May 30th 1905."
      .....
      DUTCH HOLLOW CEMETERY
      --Blosser, J. W., Clark, Jno. Ensign, 1812; Victor Huston, Franklin Judkins, Abraham Laman, Daniel Mullenhour, George Nicholas, Caniel Stemen, Hohn Stemen, Wm. Snow, James G. Wisher, 1812"

      Curiously, William Snow and James G. Wisher were born after the war of 1812. Both were the right age for the Civil War.
