| 3 | Correspondence of Norman C. Miller, Jr. with Elizabeth Wilson Williams, 1988. (See Contributors page.) "Jonathan Wimer's first born son was Daniel, born circa 1836 (or 1832...or 1838) and middle initial was N (or M or W.) I know Myers (ie. Paul W. Myers in "The Wimer Family") does not list him as a son, but he was. My grandmother Miller said her Uncle Daniel was the blacks heep of the family...she said he was one of her favorite uncles and she gave me a small pocket photo album that Daniel carried during the Civil War. Inside the fly leaf Daniel wrote his name as Daniel N. along with his unit - Battery B, 1st Pa. Artillery. Daniel enlisted in Bat'ry B. in Aug of 1864 serving until discharged in June '65." Miller gives further military records of Daniel N Wimer, Daniel M Wimer/Wymer, (indicating birth years 1836, or 1838)and brother William Wimer; and a grave for Daniel W. Weimer (calculated birth year 1832)with marker for Co. G. 134th PA Vols. at Zion Baptist Cemetery in Worth Co., where Daniel's father Jonathan Wimer is also buried. |
