    The History of Warren County, Ohio (Chicago: W. H. Beers & Co., 1882), p853 

    • Rev. John Hisey, farmer and minister; P. O. Waynesville; is a son of Jacob Hisey, who was a son of Christian Hisey, a native of Germany, who settled in the Shenandoah Valley, Va., in an early day. Jacob Hisey was born and grew to manhood there, and there married Emiline Williamson. In the year 1816, he moved with his family to Ohio and settled in East Wayne Township, Warren County, where he purchased a small tract of land, which he cultivated in connection with working in and carrying on a blacksmith shop for many years. He raised a large family of children, and lived to see all those who survive well settled in life. By the industry and frugality of himself and wife, besides raising his family he acquired a considerable amount of property. He was for many years a member of the Free-Will Baptist Church, and was a worthy and exemplary member, and contributed liberally for the support of the church of his choice. In October, 1854, his wife, the partner, of his younger and advanced years, departed this life. He was again married, and at his death left a widow. He departed this life May 6, 1870, aged 84 years, at peace with all mankind, and in full hope of a blissful immortality--the noblest work of God, and honest man.
