Howdy,
My parents are Ina Miller and Omer Gillum "O.G." Brewer of Breathitt Co., KY.
My father's parents are Forest Brewer and Orpha Gillum. He is closely related to the Grahams also. I don't know very much about his family.
On my mother's side, my grandma was Ella Miller, wife of Hargus Miller. Ella Miller was the youngest child of Abraham Bud or "A.B." Risner, husband of Fanny Patton. Grandpa Hargus Miller was the son of George Miller and Bettie Howard.
A.B. Risner was the son of Isaac Risner and Mary "Polly" Miller. Fanny Patton was the daughter of Riley Patton and Rebecca Allen.
Rebecca Allen's parents were Joseph "Moccasin Joe" Allen and Fanny Hagins.
I'm not sure who Riley Patton's parents were.
Isaac Risner was the son of Michael Risner and Sarah Howard. He was the son of Hans Michael Risner. That's what I know. I also have some dates and places, etc.
I have some family pictures (Ella & Hargus Miller, A.B. & Fanny Risner, etc.) I could scan and email them to anyone interested.
Your Kentucky Kin,
Rick

BRYAN COUNTY OFFICER SHOT

Unknown Assailant Fires Load Of Buckshot Into Body Of Ben Risner

DURANT, Nov.30 -(Special)- Ben Risner, Bryan county deputy sheriff,
was laidly wounded at 11 o'clock Wednesday night as he entered his
home at Bennington, twenty miles east of here, y an unknown assailant.
A load of buckshot was fired into his body. The shot inflicted
wounds from his head to his feet, some entering his stomach.

Risner was brought immediately to the Durant hospital where the
physicians probed for the bullets. They say there is no chance for
his recovery.

Risner has made a hard fight on the violators of prohibition and it is
thought by the people of Bennington that some law violator was his
assailant. He has been a deputy sheriff for three years and had done
very effective work in stopping law violations in the eastern section
of Bryan county.

Julius Risner m. Rassina Dall

Robert Risner — 13 Jun 2006 9:09:10 GMT

While reviewing marr. records in Cross Co., Ark I came across one Julius Risner (age 44, b. ~1841) marrying Rassina Dall (age 35, b.~1850) on March 1, 1885 in Cross Co., Ark. They were living in Walton, Ark. at the time. Does anyone know who he is, which family line he belongs to? Any information, comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I'm especially interested in knowing why he might have specifically been in Cross Co., Ark. in the mid 1880's, the locale from where my family came. TIA.

Elizabeth Rissner, Warren Co, Tennessee census 1830

Juli_Morgan — 27 Oct 2005 10:27:02 GMT

Anyone know who this lady might be?

1830 Warren County, Tennessee census
page 349, Line 20
Elizabeth Rissner 001001 - 00000001
(1 male b. 1816-1820, 1 male b. 1801-1810, 1 female born 1771-1780.)

The males could be (COULD BE, mind you) George W. Risener who married Rebecca Bonner (some of this Bonner family was listed on the preceding page of the census) and the Moses H. Risener who lived in Warren and Coffee counties until his death in 1876.

Any clue as to who Elizabeth's husband was? If we find out more about Elizabeth it could clear up quite a few Tennessee Risener mysteries.

Bio of Atwood C. Risner w/transcriber's corrections

Juli_Morgan — 20 Aug 2006 11:08:51 GMT

Marriage record(s) for George Risner

Juli_Morgan — 20 Aug 2006 10:46:08 GMT

I found the bio I'd been looking for re: Atwood Risner, son of George Risner & Rebecca Bonner. I'll put it in a seperate post. Then I found the following marriage records in the Choctaw nation:

RISNER, G W MACKEY, LESLIE 4 OCT 1874 BLUE

RISNER, G W MACKEY, SEALY 16 JAN 1875 BLUE

RISNER, J W 21 DICKEN, LILLIE 18 19 DEC 1907 DURANT BRYAN (Marriage book 3, page 69)

George Risner is the only Risner I've found who lived in Blue County. His second wife was supposedly named Celia Homer, a Choctaw woman whose family was prominent in national affairs. Any ideas why she'd be listed as Sealy Mackey? And I'm wondering about who Leslie Mackey was. Was she another wife? Or did they apply for a marriage license and not get married in 1874? If these two Blue County marriages were for George Risner, then is Celia Homer's daughter Caroline his child? She was born in 1875.

Any thoughts?

Warren County, Tennessee land record, 1831

Juli_Morgan — 27 Oct 2005 8:34:03 GMT

I'm trying to find out who the Dunlap and Risner were who appear in the Warren County, Tennessee Entry Takers Index to Plats and Surveys.

The applicants for land were Risner & Dunlap; their entry number was 3220, and entry was made in 1831; the land was surveyed in 1835 and the survey appears in Survey Book 3, page 3. There were 72 acres surveyed.

Wondering if this could be connected to the Elizabeth Rissner who is on the 1830 Warren County census, or could be Moses H. (Holland?) Risener who lived in Warren/Coffee counties.

Thanks!
Juli

South Carolina land records for John & William in 1815?

Juli_Morgan — 25 Oct 2005 8:16:23 GMT

I've an old piece of correspondence between two Risener researchers from back in 1996 where one mentions that there are South Carolina land records showing where John Risner/Risener and William Risner/Risener sold land in South Carolina in 1815. Unfortunately, I don't have enough of the correspondence to know who this researcher was.

Does anyone have any SC land records from 1815 mentioning either John or William?

Thanks a bunch!

I hope someone has some information that may help me. I trying to research my family line, but I am have difficulty. My father is Charles James Risner and his father was Charlie Risner who married an Evelyn Gertrude Griffin (I think she had a sister and brother). They had two childred- Charles Risner and Mary Risner. Charlie (my grandfather) left my grandmother and married her sister Katie Griffin (sounds like a Jerry Springer Show) and they had I believe two girls and a boy. The girls are Viola, Barbara, and boy was Alan. Alan was shot and killed, but the two sister live in Tennessee. My grandmothers mother march the Trail of Tears and from what I know was 100% Native American Indian, but my grandmother won't talk about it due to her being descriminated against for her Indian ties in the small town she lived in. If anyone has any information that could help, I would appreciate it.

Risner trip to Chickasaw Nation, 1905

Dennis Neal — 3 Sep 2003 4:43:17 GMT

Recently came across a piece on the Web that details how several families from Magoffin County chartered a train in 1905 or 06 to the Chickasaw Nation in what is now Ardmore, Oklahoma and attempted an apparent settlement there. The only information on the Risner involvement is that the "Risner Family" was part of this group. Apparently, this was not merely a white land-grab scheme, as some had relatives living there already. I wondered if anyone knew more about this, and if so, what links to the Chickasaw the Risners may have.

Stanford Risner, Salyersville Kentucky

Looking for Isaac Risener's War of 1812 records for sourcing

Juli_Morgan — 17 Aug 2005 2:21:13 GMT

Does anyone have a copy of Isaac Risener's military records from the War of 1812? (Isaac married Amy Hunnicutt in South Carolina and was the father of Silas F.A, Susan E., Seth(e) Benjamin, Steele George Aaron & Celia Polly Ann.)

I have notes saying on January 22, 1814 at Pendleton, South Carolina Isaac joined Nash's Regiment in the South Carolina Volunteer Militia, and that he fought the Creek Indians in the War of 1812 with Great Britain. On February 11, 1814, he died of a disease that he contracted while in the service. However, I do not have a source for that information.

Does anyone have the title of the book or website this info came from so that I may check it for my sourcing?

I also have a marriage date for Isaac and Amy of 5 November 1804 in Pendleton District. Does anyone have a source for that info as well?

Thank you!

Bill Risner — 1 Apr 2003 8:08:32 GMT

My grandfather was Kelsie Risner and moved from Magoffin Co to Hope, KY (Montgomery Co.) in the 1930's or 40's. My grandfather was raised by his grandparents (don't know his grandfather's name, I think his grandmother was called Granny Pig). He took the Risner name from his grandparents (His last name would have been Atkins or Adkins). I don't know of any more of my line besides that. If any one has any information please email me. Thank you.

Benjamin Risener, 1850 Searcy County, Arkansas census

JuliRisenerMorgan — 9 May 2005 5:44:29 GMT

I'm trying to solve a riddle involving Benjamin WOOD and wife Milley/Millie. According to the 1850 Searcy County, Arkansas census, Benjamin WOOD was born abt. 1795 in NC and Milley born abt. 1803 in NC. Listed in their household are William WOOD age 15, b. AR and Sylvester WOOD age 12, b. AR. Also in the household is Benjamin RISENER age 14, b. AR.

Is Milley Benjamin RISENER'S mother? Or are Milley and Benjamin WOOD the grandparents of Benjamin RISENER?

I've found where Sylvester WOOD enlisted in the Confederate Army, 27th Infantry, at Carrollton on 7 November 1861. He joined his company at Locust Grove on 21 May 1862 at age 24. Coincidentally, a Benjamin WOOD enlisted at the same place on the same day with the same company, and reported for duty on the same day as Sylvester. He also gave his age as 24. Could this be Benjamin RISENER who used the name WOOD in adulthood? William WOOD, Sylvester's brother from the census above, also joined this company at Locust Grove on the same day. His given age was 28. Just something else that makes me think this Benjamin WOOD is really the Benjamin RISENER of the 1850 census.

Mystery, mystery!

Margaret in Coffee County, Tennessee 1870

Juli_Morgan — 17 Aug 2005 2:21:13 GMT

For anyone researching Moses H. Risener/Risner in Coffee County, Tennessee:

His widow, Margaret, appears in the 1870 Federal Census for Coffee County, Tennessee, Sixth Civil District, page 64B, Lines 23-28. With her are sons Thomas, Frank & Michael, daughter Martha Adams, and 12-year-old Betsey Thacker. This family is not listed in the census index under any spelling. (I know, I checked every single surname beginning with "R." <g>)

Not sure who Betsey Thacker is, but a Martha Risener married Martin J. Thacker 24 November 1853 in Coffee County, Tennessee. In 1880 Martha appears as Martha Thacker, head of household, with daughter Margaret (the correct age to be Betsey of 1870) and son Jacob S.

Hope this helps someone!

Who are these Arkansas Risner/Riseners?

jmorgan55 — 12 Jan 2003 11:54:41 GMT

I have two mystery men and their families in my files and was wondering if anyone can shed any light as to their family lines.

In 1860 Christopher Risener, age 55, b. NC is in Washington Co, AR with wife Winny (age 53, b. TN), Jacob (age 22, b. AR), William (age 18, b. AR), Martha (age 14, b. AR), John (age 10, b. AR), and Sallie Lucket (age 36). Interesting that all the children were listed as born in AR when Christopher, Winny, or any of the children never showed up in AR before 1860, and never showed up in AR again.

Then in 1870 John Risner, age 60, b. PN, is in Benton Co, AR in Osage Township. With him is a 35-year-old female Risner whose name was pretty much unreadable. Kind of looked like Anzartah. She was born in TN. Again, this is the only time they showed up in AR.

Can anyone help solve the mystery?

He was married to Esta Smoke and had three daughters. I am the middle daughter. He later married Jean (from Canada)? Had a daughter Sherry. Would like any information on John, Jean, & Sherry. Last I knew they lived in Michigan. Please call me at 615-643-4419.
