To find the descendants, you need to find the marriages and births of children. Look for the marriage of Howard Fisher (if that is the name he used, and not an adopted one) in the Erie County Bureau of Marriages from 1930 (when he is 19 and you know he is in Erie) to 1944 when he died. Even maybe go back to 1928 to cover any early marriage. Likewise search for the marriage of Richard Brown who is about the same age. You will also have to search Rochester, NY up to modern time as he may have a remarriage in NY even if he did get married in Erie. What about city directories for Rochester? Follow him from year to year and see when he drops outs (if he does). Can't tell if that is a move or died, but gives a timeline. You may even come up with an obituary for Richard saying his marital and children status and where they are.
