Son of Michael and Catherine (Radinger) Trisler. Lived in Jessamine Co., KY from about 1798 until after marriage and until about 1820, then moved to Clermont Co., Ohio. Husband of Elizabeth (Hamilton) Trisler (1783-1849, bur. Mt. Olive, Franklin Twp., Clermont Co., Ohio), father of Joshua (1809-ca1849), Catherine Judd (1810-1890, bur. near Fairland, Shelby Co., IN), Andrew (1813-1871, bur. here), Isaac (1819-1851, bur. Davis Co., IA), James Harvey (1815-1896, bur. Woodland Cem., Des Moines, IA), Gabriel (1817-?), Emanual (1821-?),Samuel (1823-?). The name of "Trisler" is not German, per resident Germans in Germany, but was Moravian. The Trislers were refugees from Moravia due to religious persecution, and came to America by 1780. Some researchers believe that Michael was here before his brother, Dr. Peter Trisler, because Michael was an English translator for people whose native language was Germanic. Also Michael became a "taylor", probably a tailor in Washington and Frederick counties, Maryland, per deed records there. A large number of like-minded families journeyed to Fayette county (Jessamine county carved out later), Kentucky, about 1796 or 1797 and settled on Hickman creek.
