To Larry and R. Brock, Larry is correct about James Caldwell Fisher. I dug out some information this morning and can provide the following (albeit it from a rather photocopy). James Washington Fisher (1753-1832) married twice that we know of. First wife not proved on name. Second wife was Nancy Ivins/Evans from Greenville, SC. Son James Washington Fisher, Jr. married Dorcas Levisa Bowling/Bowlin, etc. 5 sons and 5 daughters (James, Jr. and Dorcas) Sons: James L. Fisher married Elizabeth ? Clark Fisher married Louise Chowan William Fisher married Harriet Simms John Fisher maried Orpha Belle Carruth Benjamin Perry Fisher married Nancy Patterson 5 daughters: Laurette (or Lorette) Eleanor married Levi H. Butler (son of Moses Butler) Harriett Esther married Jacob King and moved to Arkansas for her health - lived, died and buried in Arkansas Polly (probably Mary) married Thomas Cantrell (of Tryon) Nancy married John Green (a long hunter with James, Jr.) Cynthia married Ben Breedlove Children of John and Orpha Belle Carruth Fisher Margaret Fisher married ?? can't read Ephraim Taylor Fisher died at age 12 of typhoid fever Warren Alexander Fisher never married. James Caldwell (or Colwell) Fisher married Fannie Henderson Andrew Jackson Fisher married Jennie Neuman George Washington Fisher married Adelina Newman (Neuman ?) Lee Roy Fisher married first Amanda Walker; married second Nettie A. Galloway William Clark Fisher married Rhoda E. Walker (sister of Amanda) (my ggf and ggm) John Scott Fisher (believe never married) Susan E. "Sue" Fisher married James Booker I show your James Caldwell born 1855 and died 1936 married Fannie Henderson. Their children: Can't read, could be John Brock?? 5/23/1895 Amanda H. Fisher 11/1/1897. Rozeli Lorance Fisher ?? Lucille M. Sampies (10/6/1899) James Kitchen Fisher (born 6/23/1906) Eber Sophie ?? and another name starts with an E. I hope this is helpful to you. This list of names and dates is on a large tree and I am not certain that this last group of names were all the children of James Caldwell Fisher and his wife. It is possible that some are spouses. I am pretty certain about the groups of names before that. Many of the above named Fishers lived their lives in Transylvania County. James and Dorcas and John and Orpha Belle are buried in the Lake Toxaway Baptist Church cemetery (which some of the Floridians now want to call Lakeside Cemetery). If you have a chance to visit that cemetery, you will find many Fishers there. Also other cemeteries in the county. Lake Toxaway Baptist Church is located just off Highway 64 about 1 mile or less from Toxaway Falls. About 10 miles up the mountain from Rosman,NC. Much of the land surrounding the river and falls was original Fisher land and some is still owned by Fisher descendants. Larry, So good to see you are still working on the Fisher line. Have you found anything new?? I will see Tony in about 4 weeks. The Fisher Reunion is next Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at Lake Toxaway Baptist Church. I can't make it. I am still working overtime on extended tax returns. I won't be able to get away until about Oct 1 or Oct 15. I can't decide if I want to go east again and dig or go to Salt Lake and just work in the history center there.
