MISNER FAMILY and variants:

MEISNER, MEISSNER, MESNER, MESSNER MIESNER MISENAR, MISENER, MISENOR MIZNER, MIZENAR, MIZENER, MIZENUR MYSENAR, MYSENER and even NISNER, NIZNER, WISNER

Found the following persons, listed by state, who were in the Militia during the War of 1812. The spelling of each name is as it was shown in the information. Following each person is information relating to them that is known for sure. Ones with the "??" in front of the information is a possibility for that person. It is interesting information in that once again it confirms my theory that most of the early families from Sussex Co, NJ and Northumberland Co, PA, knew each other and were possibly related in some way.   Connie DUKE
