Hello, This is my first post to the Windham Co. mailing list. I live in Louisiana, a long way from Windham County, VT. My ggggg grandparents were DANIEL FISHER (b. 1752-Milford, Worcester Co., MA, d. 1820-Newfane, Windham Co., VT) and HANNAH (probably SADLER)(b. 1756, d. Jan 2, 1843-Newfane) Daniel was living in Townshend in 1774 when he married Hannah. They were farming near Newfane by 1775. Daniel Fisher raised a great deal of corn (approximately 1000 acres) and thereby acquired the nickname 'Corn' Fisher. Their children were Daniel Fisher Jr (b. 1776, m. Milliscent Durren - not sure of spelling); Simon Fisher (b. 1781-Newfane, d. 1830-Newfane, married 1. Nancy Wood/Woods, 2. Mary Morse, 3. Mary Crosby); Hannah Fisher (married ? Ellis); and Lydia Fisher (married ? Henney). Sometime after the death of Daniel Fisher Sr. in 1820, Hannah married Abram Holland. Four generation of my Fisher ancestors lived in Windham Co.: Daniel Fisher > Simon Fisher > George W. Fisher (b. 1800-Newfane, d. 1877- Newfane, married Laurinda Kennan) > Chesselden Fisher, MD (b. 1822-Putney, d. 1892-Grayson Co., Texas). I do not know where any of these ancestors are buried except Chesselden, however I noticed that there is a Fisher Cemetery in Townshend. Does anyone have a listing of the people buried there? Does anyone connect with any of these Vermont families or know anything about any of them? Thanks for the help. Betty
