Posted on: Saline Co. Ne Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ne/Saline/39 Surname: Fisher, Dow, Carleton ------------------------- I was interested in 7-24-99 comment in guest book by Dave Fisher, Major USMC mentioning T.C. Fisher and his farmland. Thomas Carleton Fisher was born in Ohio 7/23/1836 and died in Saline Co. 4/11/1907. He was married to Avis Moore 4/7/1867 at Dixon, ILL. T. C. Fisher was one of 14 children born to Jacob and Ruth Carleton Fisher. One of his sisters, Adeline or Aurelia Adeline was married to William H. Dow at Dixon, Ill. The Dows were my great grandparents and homesteaded in Thayer County in April 1881. I am fortunate enough to have a very old scrapbook that belonged to my great grandmother with quite a bit of info on the Fisher family in Nebr. and Paw Paw, Lee Co., ILL, etc. I am hoping Dave Fisher sees this; T.C. and his wife had six children, three girls and three boys; one of the girls died in infancy.The other girls were Lillie and Cora (Mrs. J.E. LeGrande); the three sons were Willlam E, Charles E. and George L. All but George lived around Tobias I believe. I was raised in Thayer County and am presently researching the Dow side and have discovered this info about the Fishers.
