| Thomas Wiseheart's tombstone is very worn and hard to read. Somehow the information was taken, but the photo was not. We will get it eventually. If in fact he was 81 years of age when he passed, then he would have been born depending on birth month, 1759 or 1760 |
|
The stone reads: Thomas Wisehart d. Sept (1)?5, 1841 aged 81 years |
 Mary Wife of Thomas Wiseheart Died Sept 31, 1845 Aged 76 years |
Mary Addair b. 1769 m.Thomas Wiseheart July 27, 1805 in Montgomery County, VA
|
*Note.. Mary's tombstone actually reads Sept 31 1845?
The poem we all know ..Thirty days has September, April, June...you get
the point. Is that where many have noted that she passed on the 13th? How about
proof and/or documentation? |
Thomas and his wife Mary (Addair) Wiseheart, came to Fall Creek Township, Henry County in 1825, from Virginia. They settled on a farm near Mechanicsburg, Henry county, Indiana.
He died in 1844? and Mary died in 1845. Both are buried in the Mechanicsburg cemetery. They had seven children, the first born being James Wisehart.
