Trisler information, provided indirectly from Richard Cawby, who in Aug 1982
provided by letter to Mr. Frank Trisler of Harrodsburg, KY the following information:

Dear Mr. Trisler,

I was pleased to receive your letter of July 15, 1982, inquiring 
about Dr. Peter Trisler (Trissler, Tristler) and his old Bible and 
medical books. Unfortunately, we do not know the whereabouts of any 
of the old books mention in Bennet Young's History of Jessamine co.

My aunt, Margaret Cawby Neal, a grand-daughter of John Thomas Cawby, 
has in her possession several old German Bibles and medical books, 
but only one of them has any family information recorded in its pages.
Enclosed is a rough copy of that translation….

Also, Mrs. Nelle Ellis, another grand-daughter of John Thomas Cawby 
has in her possession an old German Bible printed in 1744. Enclosed 
is a copy of the translation of the family records contain therein. 
We do not know the relationship of Peter Trissler to those recorded. 
…

John Thomas Cawby was a grandson of Dr. Peter Trissler, and I feel 
certain that his mother's name was Susan. I am a great-grandson of 
John Thomas Cawby and a great-great-great-grandson of Dr. Peter 
Trissler.  ….

Signed: Richard Cawby
