During the Civil War my ggrandfather spelled it Wisner. When my grandfather was at the blind school they spelled it Wasner. We have traced my ggrandfather to Kentucky and on the census record he is from Pennsylvania. His name was Jacob Wesner. There are so many Jacobs with the names spelled differently we haven't been able to locate his family.
