Benjamin F. Wysor, born November 24, 1813, was a lawyer and a prominent man, many years commonwealth's attorney of Pulaski County, a member of the Constitutional convention of 1850-1851, and a member of the Secession convention in 1861. He married Harriett Jane Jordan, daughter of Michael and Elizabeth Jordan, of Newbern, Pulaski county Virginia. He was shot by the Federal troops, at Newbern, Virginia, in 1864, just at the close of the battle of Cloyd's Mountain, in which he had taken part, and he died from his wounds on May 26, 1864. He made a deep and lasting impression upon the people of Southwest Virginia, where he is still remembered with honor and affection. Two of his sons, H. L. Wysor and William Wirt Wysor, although too young to go into the Civil war at its beginning, saw some service in the Confederate army in the last year of the war. William Wirt was vice counsul at Cadiz, Spain, under the last Cleveland administration, and died at sea when returning home.
