Jerry, I'm afraid that I have not worked much on this line. I know that John
Nihiser b: 1817,
Fairfield Co., OH and Carlotte
Cave were married on September 17, 1835.
John is believed to be the son of
Goerge Nihiser and Catherine Tertes.
Other siblings include: George
Nihiser, b: 1810, Virginia; William
Nihiser, b: 1812
Fairfield Co., OH; Joseph
Nihiser, b: 1822
Fairfield Co., OH; Rebecca
Nihiser, b: 1824; Sarah
Nihiser, b: 1825
Hocking Co., OH;
Amos Nihiser, b: about 1826 (and believed to be my ancester); Stephen
Nihiser, b: 1829
Fairfield Co., OH; and Kezziah
Nihiser, b: December 1831 (it is unclear if she is a member of this family).
Beyond my on direct ancesters I have not done this research. I am still trying to confirm that my gg grandfather Joseph P. Nihiser, is in fact the son of
Amos and Rachel (
Sigman)
Nihiser. The only thing that I have currently that connects Joseph to
Amos and Rachel is the fact that my great grandfather (Joseph's son Lester) lived for a time with his cousin that happened to be a
Sigman.
Perhaps the place names will help.
