  • Notes 
    • I called Kathy back and explained that Henry Jackson "Harry"Wisegarver was actually married to Regina H. Filtz. The person whosubmitted the Family Tree data to Ancestry.com for Harry JacksonWisegarver incorrectly attributed Pearl M. McCarthy as his wife. Iexplained to Kathy that I firmly believe that Henry Jackson "Harry"Wisegarver is distantly related to her father because of thePennsylvania connection.
      (David H. Drollinger 7 Oct 2013)

      I called and talked with Kathleen G. Wisegarver-Krause-Troyer on 7 Oct2013. She informed me that her father was Harry Ruhl Wisegarver (b 6Dec 1900 Rapho Twp, Lancaster cty, PA died 23 Sep 1979 Harrisburg, PA)and his wife, (Kathy's mother) was Pearl M. McCarthy. Their childrenare Jay H.; Verna; Richard and Kathleen. Therefore, the person Icurrently have listed, Henry Jackson "Harry" Wisegarver (b 24 Jan 1899Bedford, Bedford, PA died 13 May 1965 Altoona, Blair, PA), is NOT thecorrect husband of Pearl and needs to be corrected. Furthermore, Itdoes not appear that Harry Ruhl Wisergarver is a descendent ofElizabeth Drollinger supposedly married to Henry Zimmers "Harry"Wisegarver. I suspect that Kathleen's Wisegarvers are connected toHenry Zimmers Wisegarver who was supposedly married to ElizabethDrollinger. (David H. Drollinger 7 Oct 2013)
