  • Notes 
    • (Research):From Mike Johnston, The Wisher-Shaffer Project:
      James Wisher was a blacksmith by trade, was of German descent, (he may have been born in Germany) resided near Bremen, Ohio, and lived to the advanced age of ninety years, dying in Fairfield County.
      (The entry in the History of Fairfield County lists James as the father of James G. Wisher. New information, including a transcription of grave markers in Fairfield County, strongly suggests that James's name was David and his son James G. was James J.)

      Census: 1840 Rush Creek Twp, Fairfield Co, Ohio
