Franklin county, Penn., of substantial Dutch stock, and was a soldier in the
War of 1812. After a short residence in Franklin county, Penn., he removed to
Wayne county, Ohio, where he was a pioneer, and made himself a good home. He
was the fathter of twelve children: Conrad, John, Archie, Philip, Lucretia,
Sallie, Nancy, James, Jennie, William, David and Samantha, all of whom lived to
rear families.
Later in life Mr. Fisher settled in
Defiance County, Ohio, on uncleared land, where he made a good home. He died
April 3, 1872, at the age of eighty-two years. His wife died April 30, 1864.
Both were earnest members of the Presbyterian Church. He was a Republican,

three years in an Ohio regiment, his principal duty being to guard rebel
prisoners on Johnson's Island.
