I also come from a Fisher (Fischer) family that settled in Wayne County, Michigan. Christian Fischer came from Wurtemburg, Germany, possibly through PA. They settled in the Plymouth, Nankin area of Wayne County. Anyone happen to know of this family? Debbie

Debbie, Do you have approximate dates for any of these events? We have three Christian Fishers in our line. I'm going to list below more info than you could possibly want, but maybe it will help both of us determine if we have a family connection. The numbers that appear at the ends of words are for the footnotes which ID the sources. Apparently my word processor can't handle subscripts. I've taken out the sources to reduce the size of this, but I'll be happy to share them with you if you need more info.
