Teresa,

My wife and I run the www.bishir.org website. We got most of our information on Jeremiah's line from Lori Myers and the Gillam book (by way of Rob Bishir in Momence, Illinois.) We had your Great Grandfather as son of Jeremiah directly through his second wife, Malinda Gillam (not a son of Miles). We'd be very interested in exchanging emails with you off the list to learn more about your family so we can fill in some gaps in our understanding of your branch. Please send me an email at worth@ucla.edu. Thanks!

It was from a book "Highland Pioneer Sketches & Family Genealogies" - I don't have any more information about it than that. A researcher sent it to me by email.

Re: BISHIR in Highland Co., Ohio

jblair127 — 2006-07-12 07:37:35Z

I read this history with interest, as you have Susannah HART as the daughter of Joel Hart. Many people have Susannah as the daughter of Joels brother, Andrew Miles & Abigail Smith......hmmmmm. I wonder which one is true? Where did the historical article come from, and when written? Thanks so much, researching the HARTS of which there is an incredible amount of conflicting data, since they were a large clan and a lot of the same names used in each family. John

Re: From Highland County, OH

LMyers8311 — 2004-04-14 02:35:45Z

I am wondering if you have found any evidence linking Jeremiah Bishir of White Co. IN with the Highland Co. OH Bishir's? Jeremiah was born in 13 Jun 1800 in York Co PA (his obit says so, no primary evidence on that yet). Jeremiah married Esther Millet in WArren Co. OH in 1827. Their son, Miles was born in Highland Co. OH in early 1830, by Mid 1830 they were in Tippecanoe Co. IN in sheffield twp. 1840 in Union twp white Co, where he resided until his death. A newspaper article says he drove his cattle to Pittsburgh, which always baffled me, since white co. is so very much closer to Chicago than Pittsburgh. BUT if his family was residing in Highland Co, then it may make a little more sense. I honestly believe that Jeremiah is a son of Jacob, the pioneer of Highland Co. Jeremiah was a cooper, knew how to make bricks and graft trees. Multi talented. Bit of a character, well known in the court system. Thanks.

Jeremaih Bisher/Victoria Worthington

2004-03-17 13:30:41Z

Does anyone out there know what happened to Jeremiah Jr. (son of Jeremiah Bisher and Esther Millett) and his wife Victoria Worthington and children? I have lost them after the 1880 Census in Carroll Co. IN. Their children were Ellen V, Samuel and Joseph (the ones that I know of anyway).
I am also searching for Christopher Bisher (Same parents I believe, but may have Malinda Gillam as a mother instead of Esther Millett). I believe he ended up out in Reno Co., KS.

I have copied the newspaper account of McDonald Lowry's buggy accident and death. Also a couple of obits (Jeremiah the elder, George and James. Would love to get all our stuff together and get a book published. Anyone interested?

There is a book about Eli Gillam and Emily Bishir/er, done by a Weaver descendent, I believe. Does anyone know where to get a copy? There are some wonderful pictures of Bishir descendents in there. It covers the Gillam, Bisher, and Weaver families.

Re: Jeremiah was a bishir, was a good friend of mine!

Jeremiah Bishir

LoriStroleMyers — 2001-06-24 16:28:28Z

Jeremiah Bishir is found in the Tippicanoe co IN 1830 census. His first wife was Esther Millet, dau of JOhn and Mary (Moore)Millet of Darke Co. OH. Supposedly they were married in Warren Co OH in 1827, but I have no proof of that. Miles, the first born was born in Highland Co in Jun of 1830, that is according to his death report at Jasper Co., IN. Jeremiah and Esther had the following children: Miles, Emily, Isiah, Jeremiah, Malinda, Mary, Christopher. Esther died between 1843-1845. Jeremiah (the elder) married Malinda Gillam, Dau of John M. and Mary (Henderson) Gillam. they had the following children: Hannah, Sarah, William, Maria, Malinda, Ramsey, Mary, Eli, Lavina, and Elizabeth. That makes 17 known children. There were probably others that died in infancy, and are unknown today. Jeremiah's first son, Miles, married his step-mother's sister, Lavina. I truley think this line ties in with the Highland Co. Bishirs, the time frame is right for Jeremiah to be Christopher's son, but as of yet, have no proof whatsoever, just a gut feeling. I descend from Miles. The first Jeremiah was my gggg grandfather. My e-mail is VF1S@msn.com if you would like to share info. Jeremiah's son, Jeremiah, married a Victoria (Victory) Worthington. I have a few children for them, and Emily married a Gillam, another son of JOhn and Mary. Would love to share info on this line.

Bishirs from IN

LoriStroleMyers — 2001-06-24 16:28:28Z

Chances are if you are a Bishir that descends from an IN Bishir, we are related. My gggg grandfather was Jeremiah, b. 1800 in PA. HIs son, Miles was born 1830 in Highland Co., OH. Jeremiah had 3 wives, children by 2 of them, Esther Millet, and Malinda Gillam. If any of these names sound familiar, would love to share info.

Mary Bishir

leaverton — 2001-06-22 12:33:00Z

I am trying to confirm: Mary Bishir (1767-1852) married to Gabriel Chaney (1762/MD -1822) Sarah A. Chaney (1794/PA -1875/OH) is their daughter. She died in Highland Co. Sarah was married to Stephen Willett (1789-1882) Any information about these people?

What part of Indiana were you from.. My grandfather has connections to the one in white county, also grant county.. I would say were all realatives. Jerimiah came from white county and had a host of decendants.. My grandpa was Edward he had 4 sons Robert, Merrill, Delbert, Marion .. Merrill and Marion are still alive and living in Marion Indiana. I have been trying to locate family history also.. You can go to a library and get info in any geaology dept also court houses are an excellent tool. They tell me the library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana , has an excellent one.. Hope this is some help to you..

My earliest Bishir is Christopher born in 1850. Do you know if he is related to Mary? Our family bible shows his father was Christopher but no dates of birth or date on him at all.

William Sherman Bishir

2000-08-11 07:04:46Z

According to my research Andrew James Bishir (1828-1911) had seven children Mollie, Aurthur A., Alonzo D., James W., Emma C., Isadora, and Lizzie. Can you post more about William Sherman? Thanks.

Andrew Bishir

2000-06-26 10:39:05Z

Thanks we have the same ancestor..Andrew. We descend from one of his sons. Thanks for the info on why they imigrated to Ohio. I didn't know that.

Bishirs-Highland Cty Ohio

2000-06-23 20:38:11Z

I have Bishirs in my family tree. My 2nd ggm was a Bishir, Mary, she was called Belle. She died in the 30's. I have pictures of her. She had a sister Lestie that married Chester Cochran, they had a daughter Hope. Her Bishir ancestors go way back in Highland Cty. Her father was William Sherman Bishir, son of Andrew (m. to Piety Ann Turner), son of Jacob, born Highland Cty, 1796.

I am guessing from research on other branches of my family, that they were German from Pennsylvania and Virginia. Many folks moved to Ohio based on land grants from the government as payment for service in Revolutionary War and War of 1812.

Happy to share whatever I have.

Bishir

2000-04-25 17:42:05Z

Would be interested in seeing what you have from Indiana - we are totally stuck on our Beishiers (0ld spelling) Beisher (newer spelling) According to my grandfather - Beishiers came from Alsace-Lorianne (altered between French and German rule over the centuries) To me, Beishier sounds French, however, their first names are all German sounding. I checked out information from Higland County but no good leads, cannot trace our Simeon Beishier (1818) back to Ohio where he was supposedly born according to death certificate(not very detailed) and census records. No siblings nor parents. Sons were Jacob, William, Henry, Isala (male or female) Benjamin Hampton Beishier, and John Louis Beishier. They had a daughter - Mary Beishier Wynn. All children except Jacob were born in Missouri - Jacob is born In Pennsylvania 1853. in 1860 family shows up on Missouri census. I would be interested in a list of names, and dates
(Only is you have the time!!!!!)
Thanks for your help - we are stuck, stuck , stuck ,

I HOPE I'M NOT SENDING YOU A NOTE FOR THE SECOND TIME. BECAUSE, I'VE WRITTEN TO SEVERAL BISHIR'S . MY MOTHER WAS A BISHIR , HER FATHER'S NAMES WAS CHARLES AND HIS FATHER'S NAME WAS SAMUEL. FROM INDIANA. THEIR ARE SEVERAL JERIMIAH'S WAY BACK THEIE IN THE L850'S THAT HAD A LARGE FAMILY. THEY LIVED IN WHITE COUNTY, IN MONTICELLO, INDIANA. IT IS INTERESTING TO BE THE DIFFERENT SPELLING , BELIEVING THEY ARE ALL DESTANT RELATIVES. SOME OF THE SPELLINGS LOOK FRENCH TO ME. I HAVE ALSO HEARD GERMAN. I TALKED TO A LADY IN MISSOURI. THAT THOUGHT IT WAS GERMAN. ALSO, ONE THAT RELATIVES CAME FROM FRANCE. FOUND INTO IN A FAMILY BIBLE OF SOMEONE THAT LIVED IN N OR SO CAROLINA. I HEARD ONE GROUP CAME IN AT ELLIS ISLAND. PLEASE WRITE ME IF YOU WOULD ON ANY INFO OF ANY BISHIR'S AS I BELIEVE WERE ALL RELATIVES.

BISHIR'S BISHER'S IN INDIANA

2000-04-14 14:43:15Z

MY MOTHER WAS A BISHIR FROM GRANT COUNTY, INDIANA. HER FATHER'S RELATIVES WERE FROM WHITE COUNTY. WITH NAMES LIKE JERIMIAH, SAMUEL. THERE WERE 2 JERIMIAHS. ONE HAD 20 CHILDREN. SO THIS MAYBE THE REASON FOR THE DECENTS BEING SCATTERED BETWEEN OHIO.IN/[PENNSYLVANIA. THE BISHIRS, OF GRANT COUNTY CONSIST OF MERRIL.,CHARLES, ROBERT, MICHAEL, JUST TO NAME A FEW. ANY WAY WERE RELATIVES.

2000-04-14 13:15:05Z

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE MY MOTHER'S FAMILY ORIGINATED FROM. SOME HAVE SAID, GERMANY, I WOULD WONDER MAYBE FRENCH BY THE WAY IT;S SPELLED NOW. BUT, MOST LIKELY IT WAS CHANGED WHEN ENTERING THE US. I KNOW WE HAD SOME RELATIVES IN MONTICELLO, BY THE NAME OF JERIMIAH BISHIR, WHO HAD 20 CHILDREN HE HAD SEVERAL BROTHERS. I IMAGINE SOME HAVE MIGRATED TO OTHER STATES THIS WAS BACK IN THE 1850-1865 . I'M FINDING RECORDS OF BISHIR'S IN OHIO, CALIF. PENNSYVANIA.FELL THAT THEY PROBABLY ARE RELATIVES IN SOME WAY. IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THEIRFAMILY HISTORY PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT JA816@AOL.COM AND I WILL WRITE YOU BACK. THANK-YOU VERY MUCH.

2000-03-24 18:13:16Z

Looking for information on Jacob Simeon Beishier. Born in Ohio in 1818. Died in St. Louis 1882. Wife's name was Sarah Woodruff who was born in either CT or NJ. We found some Beisher(s) in Berks County and Bucks County PA (but have not looked at census yet - probably will not give names of children) Jacob Beishier - son of Simoeon and Sarah was born in PA in 1853. The first time they show up in Missouri is around 1870/ Had many children One name that shows up a lot is Jacob and Hampton is also used as first and middle names. Can anyone offer assistance.? Thanks. I have looked at the Bishers from Highland County but cannot come up with any connection at all. They were all butchers by trade. One other familytrait - red hair that turns white at a young age - short and stocky - some of them lived well into their 80's -

From Highland County, OH

2000-02-16 11:57:23Z

I should have mentioned in my above posting that my ancestors were from this county but I've compiled a vast tree of Bishirs from all over. I think they are all related somehow because it's such a rare name.

Jeremiah was a bishir, was a good friend of mine!

2000-02-16 11:53:42Z

My line of Bishirs are from this same county descending from a Christopher Bishir b. 1805, and I'm guessing that Christopher and Jeremiah are brothers or related somehow. It would be great to have proof.

2000-02-04 17:57:16Z

My Miles Bishir was born in Highland co. OH in 1836. His father, Jeremiah was supposedly from York Co. PA, born 1800, but I can't find him in any records. Does anyone else have this family in their tree? Jeremiah was married to Ester Millet if that helps any at all. Thanks much for any dates. Just e-mail me!
