    3. Margaret DeHaas from Beech Creek a mile or two from this Fisher family listed below is married to George Updegrove Swarts and a cousin to the Elizabeth and John Fisher I am trying to locate. Being located so close and the same time period it may be this John Fisher family that Elizabeth Quickel married into. I believe according then to your names below Thomas Fisher married Elizabeth Huntley and they were of Yorkshire, England and their son Thomas Fisher married Elizabeth Lamborn and their son is William b 1754 -1845 is located in Howard Dam area. My John could be a possible son of William married to Hannah Packer. If there are any living descendants living in PA or this Clinton Centre Co area I would like to make a contact. OR if you have them in your tree. Connie Philip4@comcast.net -----Original Message----- 1. Re: John Fisher (Jeann8lte@aol.com) --------------------------------------------------------------------- If memory serves me right, abt. 1804 counties were rearranged in PA and Centre was formed from parts of Huntington and Lycoming and Clinton may have had parts of Lycoming added to it. In my family I trace back to William Fisher b. Jan 22, 1754 in Chester County and died July 3, 1845. He was a Quaker and married to Hannah Packer. They settled near where the Howard Dam is today. The grave yard is still there along the road. He had many children and married them into other Quaker families. Two of his wife's nephews became important politicians. He gave a lot of young men a start on their way. His father was Thomas Fisher 1727-1791 in Chester County and he was married to Elizabeth Lamborn. They were part of the Kennet Meeting. Thomas's father was Thomas Fisher from Yorkshire and he married Elizabeth Huntley. His parents were born abt. 1658 in Yorkshire and were John Fisher and Margaret Hindle. I do not have the names of the children that are not in my direct line, but perhaps this will help you find if you are sibling or cousin to some of these names. Hope that this helps also try the genealogy societies in Lycoming, Centre and Clinton Counties.' Jean
