Thank you for the information but that doesn't sound like my Fishers. My George W. was born somewhere in Kentucky in 1807-08. His son Samuel M. was born somewhere in Illinois in Jan 1835. I have old photos of these two men if you are interested I could email them to see if there is any resemblance.

Fisher b. ca 1840 Illinois I have a George Fisher b. 1812 in NY state, with sons William b. 1844 and Humphrey b. 1848 (both in NY state). Most of the family immigrated to south-central Michigan around 1850. Does any of that fit? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry & Chris Thiessen" <jthiesen@ipa.net> To: <FISHER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 8:58 AM Subject: RE: [FISHER] William L.
