Trisler: Susanna Trisler was the 2nd wife of Martin Cawby Sr. She died in 1858 in Johnson Co., IN. The date of death and burial place for Susanna's daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Ann Masters, 6 years earlier, is on record. Susanna was missed. That is a needed record!
Sticking with the Trisler family, Susanna's mother has been "possibly" identified as Elizabeth Howser. More info on her would be a big help.
Land: The vitals on the early generations of the Lands. Birth records for Thomas and son John are lacking, as is an exact date of death for Thomas. The Lands settled in Virginia prior to Thomas' birth and migrated to Wilkes Co., NC and Jessamine and Madison Co., KY.
Sumter: The name should sound familiar, my ancestor Anna Sumter Land was a sister of Thomas Sumter, the SC partisan leader and Revolutionary War general. The early history of the Sumter family is sketchy. William Sumter came from England to Virginia prior to 1730. His wife's name was either Elizabeth or Patience. In his will, William named his wife Elizabeth. If William was married to a Patience, then Elizabeth was his 2nd wife.
