Claudia Redden 2/15/99 Posted by: Claudia Redden Date: February 15, 1999 Re: JAMES RISHER, SR. by Mary McGuire of 671 My g.g.g.grandmother was Martha Rischer. She married John V. Wainwright. They are listed in the 1860 Clarke County census with their children and their son-in-law, Charles Thomas Besser from Walker County, Texas. His wife was Louisa Elyette Wainwright. He met his wife when he was visiting with a friend from Quitman, Mississippi but lived Galveston, Texas. Charles Thomas Besser and his wife returned to Texas. They are buried in a small family cemetary behind the Boswell Baptist Church outside New Waverly, Texas. Martha Risher Wainwright is buried there also. She died while visiting her daughter and her new husband.I would be interested if anyone has any information about the ancestors of James Risher, Sr. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Morning, We migrated to mailman a couple of weeks ago. No one has posted anything yet. If you have a problem please contact me. In the meantime I think if everyone could post their interests it would be good. My interest is Jenny (Sheina Eugenie) BESSER (my great-grandmother) born 17 April 1855, Quaritz, nr Glogau, Germany. Arrived London UK sometime in the 1870s-no marriage record found. Her father was Wolf (Ze'ev) her mother was Roeschen RUSS and she had a sister Ottilie b 5 Dec 1856 and a brother Julius b 13 Jul 1858. Her grandfather was Jacob BESSER who died in Jun 1867 in Glogau. She also had an uncle Abraham David and through him cousins, Julius b 26 Oct 1855 and Heinrich b 2 Nov 1859. I know nothing about what happened to these people, except Jenny. If anyone has any information, however small, I'd be most grateful to hear from you. Best wishes Sherry Landa (list admin)
