Notes
a. Note:   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.
 ****
 His birth year is uncertain. His tombstone says 1832 but this date would have him be 15 years old at the time of his first son's birth. Census records have his birth year as1825, 1832, 1826, and 1830. His wife is usually listed as 2 years older.
