So as you head back watch for someone being born Fish and changing to Fisher. Most I've seen where in the mid to early 1800's. If not that look towards the Fisher line from Dedham Mass. Their found come over sometime in the 1600's if I remember right but I'll guess your a Fish:) Check out my web site at www.allaboutnhre.com/familytree If you are connected to the Fish I recently started a Fish Society at www.allaboutnhre.com/fishsandwich Your possible cousin:) John R.
