This may help to discover some relationships. Phoebe (WL3) June 14th 1895 Dear Captain, I went June 4th to East Corning Steuben Co, NY to visit Uncle Robert L. Wisner, son of Capt John by his second marriage to Sarah Hall, I found him well and smart for a man of his age born March 2, 1811. He had 3 brothers and 3 sisters. I will give their names: Asa, John M., Eliza, Clarisa, Henry, Emily, Robert S. (something I cannot read in margin "m dle") To Capt John Wisner by his first marriage to Mary Thompson had 8 children 2 boys and 6 girls as follows Temperance m 1st Cornelius Vanderhoof, 2 Calvin Shepherd Mary m Jacob Vanderhoof Moses m 1st Eliza Carpenter second Mrs. Moore Anna m Gabril Post Hannah m James Vanderhooten Eleanor m David Post Sarah (my mother) m to Peter Eastman (my mother refers to author not transcriber) Children of Peter Eastman and Sarah Wisner and grand children of Captain John Wisner are as follows. John W. Eastman, Daniel W., Mary Ann, James Tl, Peter O, Moses W, William W, Henry M, Charles T, the writer. I will now give you the name of Jeffrey A. Wisner of Warwick, Orange County, who was the father of Judge John Wisner and William Henry of Elmira, N.Y. now deceased, also a son living at Warwick, Orange Co by the name of Richard Wisner, a half brother of John and William Henry.
