John, Sounds like what is happening to the family my Fishers married into...the farthest I can get back is where the father signed the marriage certificate stating he gave his approval. This is the grandfather of the man the Fisher woman married. Jacob Denton was the grandfather-in-law (in this case...out-law) of the Katherine/Kathrene Fisher that I am searching for. His son, in the 1900 census says his father was born in Tennessee and in the 1910 census says his father was born in Missouri!!! Confused yet??? Cool...cause that is my permanent state where these two families--Fishers and Dentons are concerned! Lainee PointJohn@aol.com wrote:Hi! All the male children in my line have been named John Fisher, back to my Great-great-grandfather. Probably further than him but, I've been stuck at him for 20 frustrating years! I wish that I could have known my Great-grandfather. He had a diabolical sense of humor. Every time the census-taker came around he gave them different information! I can imagine him chuckling as the census-taker walked down the path thinking, "What a cooperative man Mr. Fisher is. So forthcoming with his information. No hesitation at all!" He changed his date and place of birth each time as well as his date and place of marriage! Cheers!
