Dear Lin, thank you for your resonse to my White County query. Mourning Fisher (b1793 Rutherford, NC) m. Jeremiah Franks. Jeremiah and Mourning lived for awhile in White-Warren Counties near Caney Fork. They migrated to Marion Co., AL in the mid-1820's. Mourning was the daughter of John Fisher (b1756 Halifax, VA) and g-dtr of Nicholas Fisher (1730 Germany). Mourning had a brother named William Fisher (1783 Rutherford, NC). I have recorded William's wife as Nancy Chisam. Is this the same William that you mention? My information on the Fishers comes second hand from a book by E.R. Whitley "The Fisher Family". I have seen excerpts from this book but have never found the actual book. This is about all that I know of the Fishers. Anything that you could add would be appreciated.
