Thomas’ parents as shown above were Henry Fisher and Catherine Wilson who married Nov. 5, 1878. Note this date and the childrens ages which indicate previous marriages by both parents - in fact a few are shown as "step".... Henry Fisher was son to Clark Fisher and Elizabeth Michel. Catherine Wilson was daughter to Thomas Wilson and Agnes Lambert (or Lamberk?). Clark Fisher was son to Nathaniel Fisher and Margaret McNeil. Clark died Dec 15, 1869 in Ayr with his widow Elizabeth witnessing the death. I’m sure the children will enjoy the book……………….. :>) L
