General Notes: Husband - Daniel Risher

---

This family is of German descent and the ancestors settled in the Cumberland valley, being among the pioneers. One of their descendants, Daniel Risher, was a playmate of Simon Girty before the latter turned renegade, and who afterward saved his life by warning him of an Indian attack. Risher in turn warned the settlers, and thus saved their lives. He was also in Braddock's army in 1755. He was twice married, and reared a large family. He at one time owned land at Cochran Station.
