NOTES

Both of Asher's parents were from Highland County, Virginia which is on the border with West Virginia. His father "Amos Wimer"

married in March 18, 1841 in Pendleton County, West Virginia to an Elizabeth Simmons. I find no other record of Elizabeth Simmons
or of any other marriage by Amos Wimer. It is possible that Asher's mother's full name may have been Phoeba Elizabeth Simmons.

Brownsville, Missouri will is no longer existing due to being completely destroyed by a tornado or as stated by an

April 19, 1882 Saint Louis Globe-Democrat newspaper article, a "cyclone / hurricane".
