of Col Hathorn's Orange County Regiment

son of Henry Wisner, Sr and Sarah Norton

Children:
- Sarah Wisner (1773-1817) m William Thorne
- Henry G Wisner (1777-1842) m Sarah Talman
- Gabriel H Wisner (1779-1847)

Wisner was killed by Brant. Badly wounded during the battle but in full possession of his faculties, Wisner was found by Brant. According to Col Brant's report, Brant was sure that if Wisner was left that wild beasts would devour him. So Brant engaged him in conversation and, in a moment of inattention, gave Wisner a fatal blow to the head.
