Robert,
Little tid bits but conclusive facts.
In summary, I only found a vague reference to Hector and a confusing referece to Wisners in the Elmira area.
Hector C. Wisner served in a NY regiment in the Civil War.My suggestion is to get to follow this up.
Lt Col. Henry got a tract of land from Gov Clinton and started Elmira (Chemung).But he did not have any sons called Joseph. He did have 10 children.
There were very few Joseph's in the book and I check every one.
The Wisners in American book went on to quote another book about the history of the Elimra area, then said part of it was wrong, it was not the Congressman Henry, but the Lt Col. Henry that got the grant.
I will send you a more detailed message but that is it.
