Risher in Pa.

rabbitz1 — 24 Jul 2008 1:55:47 GMT

I am looking for a Vern Risher. I have a photo of him and on the back it says "Vern Risher my father". Date on back of picture is 1956. The picture looks just like my husband's father only he's too old to be. So I believe it's my husband's grandfather. My husband and his father passed away in 2002. Any info would be appreciated. If you like you can email me directly at glo4sythe@yahoo.com

Risher or Rischer

Sam Grisham — 9 Nov 2001 4:00:50 GMT

I'm trying to find the parents of my grandmother, Sadie Risher or Rischer. Not sure of the spelling. Sadie may have been born in Christian Springs, MS and died in Jackson, Hinds County, MS about 1968. She married Jim (James Lafayette) Grisham - date unknown. They had one child, also named James. Would appreciate any info as I am really at a dead end.

Martha Ann

Mary Perkins — 10 Jul 2003 7:16:34 GMT

I am looking for a Martha Risher, birn about 1830, married james Bolton. Some say she was a SMITH, but most have been told she was a Risher. Maybe her mother was a Risher. This was in Al and Ms---MiiMIi480@hotmail.com

Who was Lydia?

drhickmann — 29 May 2003 1:04:11 GMT

Nancy Lanning, born 1787, married Benjamin Servison. She died in 1840 in Tuscarawas Co., Ohio and Benjamin remarried to Lydia Keisher in 1841, who was born there in 1810. Benjamin and Lydia moved to Linn Co., Iowa in 1847 and so did the family of Nancy Lanning's brother, Richard Samuel Lanning.

Samantha, daughter of Benjamin and Lydia, married Willliam Hickman in Iowa. Over the years, Benjamin, Lydia and William died, leaving Samantha a widow with 6 children. Samantha and children moved in with Richard and wife Justine Risher. Was this just charity or was their a family connection? Richard could be loosely called a step-uncle of Samantha's, since her father first married his sister. Or, was Samantha's mother Lydia Keisher related to Richard's wife Justine Risher? The names Risher and Keisher are curiously similar. I have never been able to connect Lydia with the Rishers in Ohio, let alone with anyone else.

Is there a researcher out there who would have even a tiny inkling as to who was Lydia Keisher? The marriage record corrupted Benjamin's name to Swerson, instead of Servison. Was Keisher a corruption of Risher? The name Keisher, exactly spelled that way, is very rare. An additional complication is that Lydia was 31 years old when she married Benjamin, so I don't know if that was her maiden or married name! There were several Keisers, a common name, in and around the area of their marriage in Tuscarawas, Ohio, but I've never been able to connect with any of those Keiser families. Will Lydia's parents be forever unknown?
