Rodney, I'm sure we have a connection, but it will take some work to figure it out. I'm working with a couple of people from these boards to try to figure out who fits where in the FISHER pile from NY...we all have different pieces, and they aren't always in agreement. This is what I have that probably relates to your family: GEORGE FISHER born 1759 Rhinebeck, NY,d. 1835 Geneva, Ontario, NY, m. RACHEL INGRAM. Children: HUMPHREY FISHER, b. 1784 Rensselaer Co.NY, d.1873 Prairieville, MI, m. ELIZABETH FRANCISCO B. 1793, D. 1851 in MI. (They came to MI about 1850). One of the other researchers has other children listed for George as follows: CATHARINA b. 1789, GEORGE b. 1793, CHRISTOPHER SR. b. 1802, d. 1884, Ontario Co., NY. It's possible that this George is in your line. Richland, Kalamazoo, MI is just a few miles from Cressey and Prairieville, in Barry Co. where most of mine went. Somehow they are probably all connected. Contact me directly if you have comments/questions. ----- Original Message ----- From: <rod54ney@aol.com> To: <FISHER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 12:30 PM Subject: [FISHER] George Fisher/Nancy ?

George was born in New York state in abt. 1812 according to the 1860 census. His wife Nancy was also from New York state. They had 4 children in 1860 census: Susannah-F/18, William (my gg-grandfather)-M/16, Humphrey ? (handwriting very illegible)-M/12 and Francis-F/3. The oldest three children were born in NY state and Francis was born in Michigan where they moved to. They lived in Richland, Kalamazoo Co., Michigan in 1860. Any information about George and Nancy themselves or their ancestors would greatly be appreciated since I have hit a brick wall. > > > ==== FISHER Mailing List ==== > ----------------- > This is a discussion area for anyone > who has an interest in genealogy or history > related to the FISHER family > The custodian of this List is James Shuman > FISHER-admin@rootsweb.com > ----------------- >
