Joseph and Elizabeth FISHER RIZER

Joseph Rizer died about July 1843 and his wife six months later probably in Jan

James THOMPSON and Mary BARNETT wed and
lived two doors down from the Clarysville Inn. They died about 1870 and 1880,
respectively. They were Catholic, but we can find no record of them at St.
Michael's in Frostburg. It's possible that in later years they may have stayed
with children anywhere from Mt. Savage to Lonaconing or elsewhere. Regardless,
we have no record of their deaths or burials. We've heard that it's possible
they may have been buried near the Clarysville Inn, and when the Old National
Pike was replaced by US40, their gravesites may have been paved over. Has anyone
heard of such an event?

I know that Peter GAREY (also

Two GARY daughters are mentioned in the will of their RIZER grandmother. These
were Margaret and Elizabeth GRAY. Efforts to find this family in the Allegany
Co. deeds and census have only been confusing.
I believe I have found the
will of this Peter GAR(E)Y. He seems to have died in Aug 1870 in Allegany Co. He
has 6 children mentioned in the will so probably was married after the death of
Mary RIZER. Listed in the will are: Elizabeth b. 1816 d. 1871? Married to Daniel
ASH and then to Henry MITCHELL. Julia b. ??? married Harry C. MARKS and lived in
Somerset Co., Penn in 1870 Mary A. b.??? married John SHILLING and lived in

Joseph and Elizabeth FISHER RIZER
seem to have remained in Allegany County for about a decade. Then they moved to
Tippecanoe Co, Indiana. A decade after the move tragedy struck the family.
Joseph Rizer died about July 1843 and his wife six months later probably in Jan

FISHER family may have also moved to Tippecanoe, but have not pieced together
