Surnames: Risinger/Rysinger/Reisinger/Hicks/Knauber Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cei.2ACEB/3522 Message Board Post: This from a letter I just received from the Ripley County IN Historical Society's Risinger file from Mrs G W Marr to Violet Toph: "Samuel and Caroline Risinger were not Jacob Risinger's children. They were nephew and niece of his altho different ones called Caroline "Aunt Polly". This Samuel Risinger must be the one called "Squire Risinger" that had a sawmill in Ripley Creek. My grandfather worked for him (Leonard Risinger). If I am not mistaken he was Culna Hicks' (of Napoleon) grandfather. Caroline (as Noah Risinger said) 'was Laura Knauber's grandmother'. Way back at the one time there were two sets of Risingers. That I got from Noah and he said his mother told him. There was a Risinger called 'Devil Hen'. He belonged to the other set." I believe the Jacob referred to here is Jacob Risinger who moved to IN in the 1830s from Washington Co PA and Caroline and Samuel would be children of his brother Henry, perhaps "Devil Hen". I think this Henry can be found in Delaware Twp in the 1850 census listed as age 72. Anyone with information about any of these Risingers, please contact me at either [email protected] or [email protected]
