ID # 9395, (1832-1912)
| Father | Moses Wismer (1794-) |
| Mother | Eunice Noble (1802-) |
| Birth | Hannah Wismer was born on 27 July 1832 at Markham Township, Home District. |
| Marriage | She married Christian Earhart on 4 September 1848 at Markham Township. An index has been found to the marriage of Christian and Hannah that directs us to page 29 of the Home District Marriage Register for the years 1843-1849. When turning to the available images to be found online, page 29 is missing. Dan Walker & Fawne Stratford-Devai have transcribed this register and they have evidently attended at the Archives of Ontario and worked from the original register. This indeed shows the marriage of Christian and Hannah and their transcription appears below. Global Genealogy, now of Ottawa, makes available this transcription and a printed or digital copy may be ordered from them. The following is extracted from a list of marriages appearing on page 29 by: Rev'd James W. Sharrard Minister of the Gospel in the Christian Church (Entry nbr. 25) Christian Airheart, to Hannah Wisemer, both of Markham. 4 Sept 1848, Markham. by Rev. Sharrard. Witnesses are not shown. |

Loughboro Township is in Frontenac County; Ryde Township is in the Muskoka District. The 1881 census shows Wesley Ruttan to be present with his family in Muskoka. He was almost certainly a widower when he married Hannah Wismer. |

| Burial | She was buried at Little Britain Bible Christian Cemetery, Mariposa Twp., Victoria Co.. |
| Note | Hannah and Christian, with their last name shown as 'Ahart', appear in the 1851 census of Markham Township. They have with them two sons, William, age 4, and Jonas, age 2. Of course, the way the age question asked for the 1851 census was: What is your age as of your next birthday? Add to that, the 1851 census was not begun in Canada West until January 4, 1852. How accurately this question was asked or answered no doubt varies. By the time of the 1861 census, the family is in Mariposa Township of Victoria County and Christian and Hannah appear to have remained there for the rest of their days.
