Misc. Notes
The family moved to Ohio some time between 1844 and 1850. They are listed in the 1850 Ohio census.
Charles Wesley WISNER married Sarah KUNKEL (KUNKLE) in Knox Co., OH in 1853. They moved from OH to Cedar or Muscatine Co. IA (family notes by Oscar Wisner say Muscatine, but they show up on Cedar Co. census and nowhere in Muscatine so far) and had 3 children.
Oscar Francis WISNER was raised by his uncle John in Wooster, OH after his father died. He was a professor, author, and missionary traveling to China where he helped establish a university. While there, he met and married Sophie PRESTON.
This information comes from family notes written by Oscar Francis WISNER and Francis Preston WISNER who informally recorded family history as well as Federal Census and court records.
The birth dates of the children born to Benjamin and Margaret Wisner were deduced from OH census records of 1850 and 1870. The marriage of Charles Wesley and Sarah Kunkle are available in Knox County, OH records 1808-1875.
There are two books on Doris Jean Todd's Ancestors. We Seven: A Family Story by Donna Todd McBryan, 1976, and The Todd Family in America Gazette Printing Co., 1920.
