General Notes: Husband - Abraham Fiscus


He was a farmer, who took pride in always having his farm neat and clean. Just, generous and sympathetic, he was popular in his community, where he was often consulted by his neighbors on business affairs. He was a Lutheran in religious faith, a republican in politics and served as one of the first officers of Valley township, when it was organized, in 1835. He was a soldier of the War of 1812, serving on the northwestern frontier under Gen. William Henry Harrison.


General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Martin


She died in 1853, aged seventy-seven years. [BHCIA, 395] This would have her 15 years older than her husband and bearing children at 68 years of age. This seems unlikely. Could this refer to her father?
