Joseph Brackett Jr. succeeded him in 1774 to 1787 when Jonathan Lawrence became Sheriff until 1778 and W. Thompson in 1781. In 1829 Joshua Conger became Sheriff until 1832. J. Hiram him in 1840. It was said the Congers came to town after the war with pedlars, etc. Henry G. Wisner was County Clerk 1813 to 1815, was a lawyer in 1803. Sam W. Eager in 1813. John Blagg (Blagg’s Clerk) in 1727. There is a monument erected at Goshen in honor of Henry Wisner who died March 4, 1790 — 70 years ago — who was a member of the first Continental Congress and voted for the Declaration of Independence, erected by his Great Grand Daughter Frances Wisner Murray 1887. The Wisners were related to Lothan in some way, from a letter written in 1805 by John Cathan to his son W. B. Cathan in which he speaks of Wisner as a lawyer. Your letter is very interesting to me and I hope you will write soon and send me a copy of that M. L. of Jas. Wm. Arnott and all you can say about the Wards & Arnotts. Lothan was originally “Leraux” — French Huguenots — Lothan was sometimes Lothan in England. Many names are changed here sometimes for various reasons. Enclosed an envelope addressed to you with stamp. Hoping this will find you all in good health I remain
Yours truly, W. B. LathanRelationships
