Josua Clark Samuel Kiser b. 2 Feb. 1802 d. 6 May 1855 m. Susan Carpenter My Great Uncle, Clyde Kiser, and Great Aunt, Alna Kiser, wrote that John, Joseph, Hannah, and Sally died of typhoid fever in 1809. This information is found in their book KISER-CARPENTER CHRONICLE. Perhaps your Joseph Kiser is descended from Joseph Kiser, son of Lawrence Kiser I and wife Sarah. Joseph is the brother of Adam Kiser. I believe I have a copy of this Joseph Kiser's estate record and will check for the names of any children documented in the records. My line from Adam and Sarah Bess Kiser is through their youngest son, Samuel.
