Biographical History
The members of this family were descendants of Caspar Wister (1696-1752), the owner of a glasshouse in New Jersey. Caspar's brother, John (1708-1789), was a merchant and real estate investor in Philadelphia, PA. John's son, William (1746-1800), became one of the most eminent and wealthy merchants of the city. William's nephew, Charles Jones Wister (1782-1865), was also a merchant and was interested in such scientific pursuits as botany and mineralogy.
