Jasper(Casper)Kizer(Cisor)d.1812 in NJ
Clark Robbins 8/16/99
I found this information originally in bits and pieces from family here in PA.Then I saw a cemetery transcription in the New Jersey Genealogical Society booklet.Being of a curious nature(aren't we all ?)I went to NJ.Jasper's wife Anna and their son Abraham(my link)are buried side by side
in the Frankford Plains Cemetery. Jasper is buried in the Stillwater cemetery.His stone says Casper Cisor.His will says Jasper Kyzor.His son Abraham's stone says Abraham Kizer.Anyway.in Jasper and Anna's wills they mention their children and spouses.The elusive one is Isaac.I haven't found anything but mention of him in the wills.Abraham married Anna Spangenberg.Their children except for a daughter moved to Luzerne County(now Lackawanna County), Pa.The town was called Kizer's mills or Kizer's, PA until 1908 when it was changed to Cortez, PA (story is that there was trouble brewing in Germany and the residents, not all Kizers by that time, decided they didn't want it to sound like the Kaiser in Germany, so they put names in a hat and Cortez was the one pulled)
