Biography

John was born about 1739. He was the son of Jacob Wismer and Nanny Souder.

From the book of Jacob Wismer History: "He lived with Jacob Angeny, Jr, where he died. From Feb. 1784 until his death he was looked after by his brother, Henry who furnished his wearing apparel, &c. paying for same out of his own (John Wismer's) estate. The £3. 6s. willed by Jacob Souder, and paid into the hands of his brother Henry, and his portion of his father's estate, also in Henry's care, the remainder of which after his (John Wismer's) death was paid in 1795 to his remaining brothers and sisters, is conclusive evidence that he had no issue. Among the items of sickness and funeral expenses paid to Jacob Angeny, Jr. by Henry Wismer, in accordance with the custom of the times, was '2 gallons and 3 quarts of whiskey for John's burying 10 shillings 2 pence.'"^[1]

He passed away in 1794.
