Please advise Connie and Audrey, if you have any additional information to share concerning this family.

Luke MISNER, the earliest known ancestor at this time, supposedly resided in Wood Co., VA (now WV)in the early 1800s with Absalom, Zebulon, Peter, Adam and Isaac Misner. He married Abigail DICKERSON. I do not know how Adam and Isaac may fit in, but Peter was on the 1810 census for Wood Co, VA, age over 45 with 1 other male over 45, besides his wife and children. I'm thinking that he may have been a brother of Luke since he was not listed as a son of Luke. Or they could have all been cousins......
