VISER
The Viser family records their ancestor William Viser, sometime spelled Visor, had a trading post on the Tishomingo River, around 1831. He then left Mississippi, and moved to Texas, where records show he lived in Montgomery County until his death. Since he missed both the 1830 Census ( he was living in Tennessee) and the 1840 Census ( lived in Texas), we are especially interested in any records that may show with whom he lived, if his children married in Mississippi, what propoerty he owned there. Any assistance you can provide will be invaluable. Thank you.
