Hello Norman, If you are related to the second FISHER FAMILY, then we are cousins. My line goes; ANTHONY, DANIEL, ISRAEL, ABIJAH; SYLVESTER SR., SYLVESTER JR., GEORGE, MARY JANE FISHER-MACK(GEORGE MACK), ELBERT LEO MACK, HAZEL MACK, BETTY HUNTER(living), and me, Sandy(Sandra Sue Smith-Parrish). We have a website at www.kenparrish.com There is a picture of George Mack, born in Perrysville, OH, 1928. Sylvester Sr. and JOSEPH JONES JR., an American Rev. War Vet., came to OH around 1818. LYDIA JONES married Sylvester(born VT.) but I will never be able to prove the marriage as the Richland Co. OH marriage BOOK 2 has been missing for over 44 years! The church burned around 1865!! Of course I have letters Lydia wrote in a couple law suits....and Joseph's will. Joseph was born in Harvard, Worcester, MA. A lot of my information came from the county histories and the New England web site. Do you think this is your family? My home town is Loudonville, Ashland Co.(part of Richland Co. until 1844), OH. Good luck!
