Hi Christie and others, I have a Lois Beardslee in Sussex Co. NJ who in 1814 married William Wisner, b. abt 1784 Sussex Co., d. abt 1864 Mahoning Co., OH. William remarried Aletta Howell in Sussex Co. in 1817. I was wondering if the Beardslee book you have has a death date for Lois Beardslee Wisner? I don't believe she had any children with William. I think Aletta Howell is the mother of Mary Ann Wisner, b. abt 1818, my line. Thanks so much for your time and help.
