Some more info:

Lucius Q. C. Wisharts was a paint dealer starting as early as 1855. He took over the grocery business of Cincinnatus Wishart in 1856. These two business were next store to one another on Washington Avenue in Philadelphia. I suspect that Cincinnatus was Lucius father.

The assocaition of paint and turpentine in Lucius' first paint business may have led to the pine tree tar codrial that he formulated later.
