Individual Details

Henry Wishard

(3 Feb 1812 - 26 Dec 1849)



Land Patent in Johnson Co IN dated 4 Nov 1834

Buried Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. [not on FindAGrave in Nov, 2011]

I found a Wishard family living in Marion Co IN in 1850 - the only one there. It appears that Henry may have taken a second wife named Elizabeth if Elizabeth Sutton died in 1840 - or perhaps this death date is in error. There is a gap in the children around 1840. I have not found another marriage for Henry.
Perry Twp, Marion Co IN, Hh 77
Elizabeth Wishard, 42, b. KY [about 1808]
Joseph Wishard 18
Jane Wishard 16
James Wishard 13
Martha Wishard 6
Elizabeth Wishard 4
Wm. H. Wishard, age 1.

The death date was in error - Elizabeth Sutton did not die in 1840 - the marriage record of the youngest child, William Henry Wishard, b. 1849, states his mother was Elizabeth Sutton; his father Henry Wishard.
