I also have a William Fisher born 1822 in AL and ended up in Carroll Co, MS by 1850 (age 28) where he was married to Minerva Standley. William died in 1862 during the Civil War. Their children were: John David, James Monroe, M. Ida, William Henry, Mary Jane and Benjamin Franklin. Below are Fisher HH's who were listed in Carroll Co, MS that I'm unable to connect to my William: Charles F. Fisher (listed on 1840, 1841, 1845 census) Elias Fisher (listed on 1840, 1841, 1845, 1850 census) Nicholas Fisher (listed on 1840, 1841, 1845, 1850, 1860 census) Wiley Fisher (listed on 1841, 1845 census) Thomas Fisher (listed on 1840, 1841, 1845 census) John Fisher (listed on 1840, 1841, 1845 census) John S.

Wilma - Do you know where your ancestor's settled? I have a brick wall at a Ephraim Fisher (b. ~1785) who was married to Catherine Pegg. My Fisher's were from Darke Co. Ohio. The reason your post was so interesting to me is that one of the family names is Absolom. I'm hoping that we may have a match! I'll look forward to hearing more about your Fisher's in America.

You know, I don't recall who it was now, but someone I was exchanging mail with recently was telling me how he was descended from 2 lines of Fishers from the same common ancestor (which was also my ancestor). The family had gotten spread out and had apparently lost track of each other, and then came back together inadvertently in the mid-west. I don't think they ever even realized they were related. :-) Then, to top it off, someone else in his lineage married into another offshoot of the same family, but that couple had remained childless or he'd have had triple-cousins. I don't think it was anyone on this list that I was discussing this with, but if it was maybe he can clarify it for us. haha Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Robison" <janrobison@yahoo.com> To: <FISHER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 10:55 PM Subject: Re: [FISHER] Lynn A.

Dear Marcia, I saw your post and it caught my attention. My Fishers were also in Western PA. Mercer, Lawrence, and/or Beaver counties. They also were Scotch-Irish. I haven't been able to find the parents or sibllings of my GGGrandfather. He said he was born in Mercer Co, PA March 11 1837. I have my web site at http://www.geocities.com/sbeireis/index.html?1041978594403 if you want to see if we might have a connection. At this point in time, I am hoping he named some of his children after his siblings. Good Luck in your search. SB

Hey there list-- Thought I'd add my William Fisher in the mix too. He was born about 1800 in NC (according to 1850 IN census). Wife name: Anna ____. Children: David ( born abt 1830 KY), John (1832 KY), Thomas (Feb 1838 Warrick Co , IN -- my 2nd great grandfather), Morris (1839 Warrick Co IN), Anna (1844 Warrick Co IN), Altamire (1847 Warrick Co IN). All 1850 IN census. Regards, Carol Mudd Fuchs

Connie, I have three Michael Fisher's. Born on these dates; 7-3-1767, 5-4-1786 and 10-30-1816. My direct line moved to Canada circa 1800, I do not know if more than my Michael moved. Some of his siblings may have remained and your Michael could have been named after my Michael born in 1786. Then again we could be talking about totally unrelated lines. Bear in mind that my Fisher line is a German Fischer line that changed the spelling when they immigrated in the mid 1700s. Surprisingly of those that spent time in Canada in the 1800s and then came to Michigan circa 1900 added the "c" again reverting back to the Fischer spelling. So my great grandfather and his brother used the Fischer spelling when they came to Michigan but their parents and siblings continued to use the Fisher spelling.

Thank you Rick and Mary for the insight into the Fisher family. I have been stumped on my line for quite a while, and cannot find anyone who links into it. My Fisher family is from Allegheny County, Pa., near Pittsburgh. I can trace a Matthew Fisher to his marriage in 1792. There are several other Fisher's there at that time, and I plan to extensively look at records generated for those men. After reading your post, Rick, I am thinking that perhaps my Fisher family was the Irish Fishers. My Allegheny county ancestors were Presbyterian and the majority of them came from Ireland. Because the Germans and Scotch-Irish didn't intermarry often, and the Scotch-Irish are known to have settled in the Western part of Pennsylvania, I am almost certain now that my Fishers were probably Irish. Thanks for your posts Marcia Helton

I also have just been reading all this activity on the Fishers. My William Fisher was born approx 1810 in Augusta Co., Va. and married Sally Selby on July 15, 1830. They had two daughters, that I know of. Martha Caoline fisher b 11/5/1847 (my line) and Nancy Jane Fisher b 8/28/1833. Does anyone have any connections to this family? Thanks Deborah Wilson

Thank you so much for answering this. I knew that there had to be more than just 2 or 3 main fisher lines. I still wish I could find the site I read though, even though that information was incorrect there were some other things there I want to read. I wish I had bookmarked the page!

George What other information do you have regarding the Fisher line Nicholas Fisher who immigrated from Germany? My great-great-grandfather is George Nicholas Fisher. He immigrated from Germany and I have very little information on him. He is a brick wall for me. Please email me directly at coloamy@aol.com. Looking forward to hearing from you. Amy Fisher

My Fisher's were from Germany my line had the spelling, like Rick stated. My ancestor Adam Fischer Sr. His father's name was Johann Aboslom Fisherback, also Johann Abslom Fischer.b:1684. then another was Absolm Fisher b:1803-d:1887 he marrriedJudith Ora-b:1811-d:1887. then The Barron Fischerbach was the father of Abraham_Jacob_Daniel & AdamJr.This Adam shot a Deer over there which was A Big, NO, NO, so he got sent to the USA with brother Abraham in the 1700's,on The Mary Ann. ship Wilma.

My greatgrandfather is another William FISHER...the only info I have on him is as follows: He was married to Lucy Sherrow. They had three children: Mary Katherine Rebecca, Alfred and Louella. The info I have on Mary Katherine Rebecca (my grandmother) is from several sources and documents: Born 5 December 1901 in either Argentine, Wyandotte County, Kansas or Calhoun, Henry County, Missouri. In 1926, she married Clarence Denton. They had two children, Virgil Monroe Denton and Lorence Denton. Clarence Denton died in 1958 and Katherine subsequently remarried Henry Edward Dirk in 1963. Henry Dirk died in 1968 and Katherine lived till 1987. This is my FISHER brick wall!

To All the Fisher Researchers: I am a Fisher genealogist and I would like to help clarify this idea about the number of Fisher Lines in America. The earliest is Robert Fisher, 1611, who arrived on the East Short of Virginia from Wales on the Elizabeth. He was still living in the time of the first Virginia census in 1625. However, other subsequent Fisher arrivals in 17th century Virginia include: John, Henry, Thomas, Edward, Samuel, William, Gabriell, Richard, Francis, Jeremy, Jonathan, Joseph, Peter, Phillip, Benjamin, Caleb, George and Paul. [cited from Filby's Master Index]. It is unlikely that these Fisher derive from a single Fisher line in England and there is simply no evidence that this is the case. Another major line of Fisher's originated from Sylekham, England and fled England because of religious persecution and settled on the Charles River near Boston. This line is well documented and did not migrate to Virginia. Another line of Early Fishers was John and Thomas Fisher who came over on the Welcome in 1682 to settle in Penn's Colony. Thomas was a son of John and married Maugery Maud. This line is also well documented and is totally different from other early Fisher immigrants. Perhaps yet another important early line is Nicholas Fischer who immigrated to Virginia from Germany and soon changed the spelling of his name to Fisher settling in Brunswick, later Lunenburg, Counties. Simply stated, we just do not know how many independent Fisher lines immigrated to America in the 17th and early 18th century but it is certain they did not derive from one or two Fisher lines elsewhere.
