My source for my info is 20th Century History of Lawrence Co., PA, by Hon. Aaron Hazen, in particular a bio contained therein for Robert Richford Robert Fisher in which his parents are listed as John and Sarah Roberts Fisher. Bio states he was named after his maternal uncle Bishop Robert Richford Roberts. Also states the John and Sarah had 13 children. ---------- > > Stephen Fisher wrote: > > >>I have a Sarah Roberts m.
