I have a Mure in my line, but long before Schuykill Co. My line is from the 1200's back in Scotland. IF ANY OF IT CAN BE DOCUMENTED, THAT IS! I'm still looking for any record of a Joshua F Fisher b. 10 May 1846. Looking for a birth record for our GGrandfather Joshua F Fisher b. 10 May 1846 Schuylkill Co. d. 29 Jan 1929 in Erie Co., PA m. 1st Rebecca Todd Thompson on 21 Aug 1871 Rebecca Todd b. 29 May 1854 d. 30 Jan 1892 Joshua F Fisher m. 2nd Elizabeth Bole on 6 Jun 1906 Children of Joshua and Rebecca: Mary Jane Fisher 1873-1886 never married, never had children (possibly named after his adopted mother Mary Jane) John Enoch Fisher 1876-1895 never married, never had children (possibly names after his adopted father John H Crate and his maternal grandfather Enoch Dye Thompson) William Kelso Fisher 1879-1956 never married, never had children (maybe named after his paternal grandfather???) Sarah Ann Fisher 1883-1919 m. William H Meredith (possibly names after her maternal grandmother) Samuel Alexander Fisher 1887-1920 never married, never had children (maybe named after his paternal grandfather???) Family history states Joshua F Fisher was adopted by a German family (possibly the Crate's) and that he was born in Schuylkill Co. The Rose Twp., Jefferson CO., PA 1860 census shows a Joshua Fisher living with John H Crate and his wife Mary Jane (Thrush)(daughter of Samuel Thrush and Sarah A Kirker)(Mary Jane aka Mary Jame and Mary Ann). The Rose Twp., Jefferson CO., PA 1870 census shows a Joshua Fisher living with John H Crate and his wife Barbara Ann Cyphert. I heard from a Crate researcher that John Henry Crate did not have any adopted children. Don't know where Joshua was in any 1850! Can't find him in any of the 1850 census lists from Jefferson Co or for Schuylkill Co. I suspect they maybe could be related through the Thrush family, but can't make the connection. Our Joshua named his first born girl Mary Jane likely after Mary Jane Thrush (1st wife of John Crate). She must have had a significant impact on him, either by being a relative of just being motherly to him in her short time with him. He named his first born son John (maybe after John Henry Crate) Enoch (middle name after his wife's father). His third born a son was named William Kelso (Kelso is a common name in his wife's family (Rebecca Todd Thompson)). His fourth born a daughter born, our Grandmother was named Sarah Ann (Sarah was his wife's mothers name). His fifth a son was named Samuel Alexander (might be a clue in this naming). >From the census records it appears he took in two Weaver children who seem to be related to his second wife Barbara Ann Cyphert (cousins). Joshua F Fisher enlisted in the Civil War in Sep 6 1864 and was discharged in Jun 2 1865 A lot of the Thrush's were members of the Lutheran Church in Newville. One Thursh married to a Nancy Fisher specifically catches my eye. That Nancy Fisher is the daughter of John FIsher and Mary Alleman. Among the family trees there is mention of "Old Dutch Church" and "Old Dutch Graveyard" and Grace Reformed Church. While this is all speculation and in the Thrush's are mostly in Cumberland Co., it's a bunny trail I at least must explore. [email protected] wrote: > Today's Topics: > > 1.
