Yes, Nancy Hibler is George W. Fisher's wife. The birth year of 1791 is wrong. I don't know who put the information on Ancestry/Rootsweb but it isn't correct. I have them on the 1850 census and Nancy gave her birth year as 1803 and that she was born in Missouri. Her children later gave census information that their mother was born in Missouri. Her parents and family moved to the St. Louis area from Kentucky about 1799. So I am confidant that 1803 is the correct birth year-also her last child was born in 1841. 1791 would have put her age at 50 which would not be impossible but not likely. Long story-I had been looking at this Nancy Hibler who married a George W. Fisher but had found no marriage data on them (also thinking that the birth date data of 1791 on Rootsweb/Ancestry was correct). I made a trip to Shelbyville, Illinois the summer of 06 to do research because I knew that my gt grandfather Samuel M. Fisher was born in Illinois. I discovered a marriage license for a Nancy Simmons and George W. Fisher. I still had not connected Nancy Simmons to Nancy Hibler although I knew Nancy Hibler's father's name was SAMUEL. After I returned home to the Springfield, Missouri area I was at our local wonderful genealogy library searching for any clues. I was getting ready to leave, dejected because I had not found anything and walking past the last row of books on my way out a book titled "Divorces in Missouri up to 1850" just appeared. It was a thin book. I still don't know why it caught my eye. Any way for what ever reason that book just "jumped out at me". I looked under the name of Fisher and didn't find anything. I looked under the name SIMMONS - lo and behold there was a record of divorce for Nancy nee` HIBLER from William D. Simmons in 1829. I couldn't wait to send for the record from St. Louis. When court records finally arrived I discovered that Nancy Hibler and William Simmons were married in 1821 (I think-don't have my papers right here now.) They had two small boys. He went out of state in 1824 on business and was never heard from again. She continued living in their home until all of the money ran out and then moved back in with her parents. In 1829 she filed for divorce and it was granted. Now, did tragedy befall William Simmons? Or did he just leave his wife and two small boys? Another mystery. I have found no information about him. Probably Nancy was visiting her sister who lived in Shelbyville, Illinois, in 1833 and met George W. Fisher. They were married early in 1834. My Samuel M. Fisher was born in 1835. Three girls were born in St. Louis County in the late 1830's and 1841. George W. Fisher is found on the St. Louis 1840 census with this family in the appropriate age groups. I have "met" wonderful Hibler cousins online and they have shared family history on the Hibler family. My grandfather George Nicholas Fisher (1862-1941) had an old diary where he wrote the death date of his grandfather George W. Fisher 22 June 187_. The last digit is on the edge of the page and it is so frayed I cannot make it out. I have Rev. George W. Fisher's Bible that he gave to his son Samuel M. Fisher after 1873 (published date in Bible). As an aside-there is another Rev. George W. Fisher in Shelbyville, Illinois in the next generation. I have been unable to determine who his parents were and how he connects to my Rev. George W. Fisher. Mysteries, mysteries! I didn't intend to write a book, but this has been such a journey and I am so anxious to find out what happened to Nancy and George. I find no record of Nancy after the 1850 census although there are records of Rev. George W. Fisher in Shelbyville, Illinois until about 1854. I have an older Fisher cousin that is in very poor health and he would so love to know the history of our Fisher family. George W. Fisher was born in Kentucky in 1808-1810 and that is as far as I have discovered. Chris Fisher Thiessen Ps. I live on the "Old Fisher Farm" that was purchased 1895. Samuel M. Fisher and George Nicholas Fisher, George Frederick (my father) and I have all lived here, plus two generations of my daughter's family. So six generations of Fisher descendants have lived on this beautiful place and I would love to solve the mystery of where we came from!!

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Silas DUNN which was taken at the Brigham Studio in Dover, New Hampshire. The photograph is dated 3 March 1865 with Silas likely in his 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Silas and his family: Silas DUNN married Abby ? And has a son Silas F. DUNN born Oct 1858 in Dover Township, NH Census records provide the following information: 1860 census of Dover, NH: Silas DUNN, age 31, a Watchman, born NH Abby DUNN, age 35, born ME John S. DUNN, age 3, born NH Silas F. DUNN, age 1, born NH 1870 census of Dover, NH: Silas DUNN, age 41, Works at Print Mill, born NH Abbie DUNN, age 46, Keeping House, born ME John DUNN, age 13, Attending School, born NH Vera B. FISHER, age 2, born NH I am hoping to locate someone from his family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this DUNN Family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I believe a document from familysearch.org stated Tunnel Mill and at the time I wasn't sure what of the meaning, but came to find out it it was a town that know longer exists. Gilbert's siblings included a William Fisher. I do not know much about this sibling other than I think he was born in Marshall Co., IA. A few other siblings are: Fred Pearl Fisher 1876-1953 is buried in Sherbun, MN; Winfield Jackson Fisher 1868/ 1869-1951 married Addie Cornelia Lane McKinney, moved around quite bit, held a number of different jobs, eventually died from a heart attack and is buried at Eastside Cemetery in Estherville. George Fisher born 1872; Roxie Carol Fisher born 1878 and married a man by the last name of bond and at Gilbert's death was living in Drumwright, OK, Mary Elizabeth born 1884; and Mame who married a man by the last name of Young and at Gilbert's death in 1949 was living in Drumwright, OK. It appears all family members lived in/ around Hamilton Co., IA growing up. Gilbert married Emma Arp in Spirit Lake, Dickinson Co., IA in 1902. Gilbert and Emma then lived in Wilton Junction until about 1922 as Gilbert worked for the railroad and then they moved to Estherville. Gilbert's death obit only mentions 3 living brothers: Fred and Jack (Winfield) who live in Estherville and Charles in Webster City and then 2 sisters Mame and Roxie in Oklahoma. I'm wondering if we're talking about the same William Fisher? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Well what do you have in the 1850's Census [is that the 1851 Census?]. I would guess that you have more since you can identify them in that Census. Since the 1850, what does the line look like, who is in it and where are you finding the family members. Tell us what you have & perhaps someone will recognize something to get you going once more. The DNA Project that would handle these Fishers would be the Fisher Project [http://www.fisher-surname-study.org.uk/1.html].I looked at this project and the administrator has also had a "Fisher Surname Study" for many years. If you look to the left of his site and hotlink on "Projects" that will take you to the DNA Project. I did not see his Pedigree Page but it should be there someplace.
