Notes for David* Fisher: Daniel and David Fisher may be the same person. COLONIAL FAMILIES OF AMERICA http://www.familytreemaker.com/_glc_/5886/5886_133.html Page 129 FISHER FAMILY DESCENT FROM ALFRED THE GREAT CLAIMED--A NORMAN KNIGHT ANOTHER PROGENITOR--VOLUNTEERS IN ALL WARS--HERALDIO EMBLEMS DENOTE CHARITY, LOYALTY AND TRUTH The name Fisher being that of one of the employments of man is found as a surname in all nations. Hoker, Percheurs, Langelier, Poissonier and Chabot, at first sight, do not seem to be names belonging to the family, yet they all have the same origin. For example, in France, in some of the provinces, chabot means fisher, or fisherman. Hence comes Cabot, and Sebastian, the explorer, may therefore be claimed by the family. Fysher and Fyshere are old orthographies, "ffisher" being a form of frequent occurrence in colonial records. In a will, dated 1674, Joshua Ffisher, of Medfield, Mass., leaves to "John Ffisher, son of my son, John Ffisher, ś5. To Vigilance Ffisher, my grandchild, son of my son, Joshua Ffisher, 40 sh." The executors of this will are "my beloved cosen daniel fisher and Joshua, my grande child"--so curiously free and easy and "simplified" was the mode of spelling in those primitive days. One branch of the Fisher family claims descent from Alfred the Great, who is responsible for a large growth of family trees. Descent is also claimed, by one branch, from Eustace de Monte Alto, the "great Norman hunter," who was a knight in the train of William, who gave him the manor of Montault, in England, where descendants still reside. The great castle is called Montalt, Mold or Mould Castle. Maud is another corruption of the original name Monte Alto. Maud, it may be mentioned, in recognition of this descent from the Norman, is a name often bestowed upon both masculine and feminine members of the Fisher family. Jabez Maud Fisher was an original character in London whose appearance at a certain coffee house was always awaited with great impatience, because he could repeat all the speeches of the day made in Parliament, from memory, on the all-absorbing topic of affairs in the American colony. This was during the Revolutionary war, when both houses of Parliament forbade the printing of speeches in the newspapers. One distinguished member of the family was John Fisher, bishop of Rochester, who was chancellor of the University of Cambridge, and procured the Greek professorship for Erasmus. Bishop Fisher lost his head at the same time as Sir Thomas More, and for the same cause. One pilgrim father was John Fisher, who came over with William Penn, and another progenitor of an American line was Joseph, born in Saxony, 1734, who settled in New Jersey. He was a Revolutionary soldier. Middletown, Pa., was settled by George, son of John Fisher, pilgrim father, and Fisher's Lane, Germantown, is thus called for the family. The first survey and chart of Delaware Bay was made by Joshua Fisher, about 1750. The chart is now in possession of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. To the hospitality of Captain Daniel Fisher, of Dorchester, Mass., the regicide judges of Charles I., Goffe and Whalley, owed shelter and protection for nearly a year. They lived in a house in a forest near the captain's, and his daughter Lydia waited on them. One of the founders of the Maine branch of the Fisher family was Samuel, born 1722, who was living at North Yarmouth, 1745. He had the title "captain" and was a lineal descendant of Sir Anthony Fisher. Captain Samuel's great-grandfather was Lieutenant Joshua, grandson of Sir Anthony. There are good war records here, for Captain Samuel's son was Corporal Onesiphorus, and his grandson was also Captain Samuel. A member of the Maine family was Jonathan, "faithful minister," author, poet, artist, wood-engraver, farmer, carpenter and clockmaker. He was an early riser--so it is put down in the records, and we are not inclined to dispute the statement. He was also "a terror to evildoers, and a praise to them who did well." He kept a stern eye on his congregation and woe to any one who absented himself from church, without an excuse. His sermons numbered 3,000, and his book on "Scripture Animals," was illustrated with pictures of every animal, bird and insect mentioned in the Bible. These were all engraved by himself. His portrait, painted by himself, is in Mt. Bangor Theological Seminary, of which he was one of the founders. For forty-one years he was pastor of Mt. Blue Hill church, where his salary was $200, 30 cords of wood, with a vacation of five Sabbaths thrown in. Nor was this all of the story. He brought up a family of seven children, of whom one daughter was sent to boarding school, and one son, Rev. Josiah, to college. One of the volunteers of the Revolution was Thomas of Delaware, a mere youth at the time. He kept up the record, and was in the war of 1812, with the rank of brigadier-general. Heitman's "Officers of the Revolution" gives the names of other Revolutionary soldiers: Lieutenant Isaac of Massachusetts; Colonel Frederich and Lieutenant-Colonel John of New York; Lieutenant Hendrick of New Jersey and Captain Samuel of Pennsylvania. One of the belles of the Revolution, if not a heroine, was Mary Vining, great-granddaughter of John Fisher, of Pennsylvania. The fame of her charms was carried to Marie Antoinette, who eagerly inquired of Jefferson, Minister in France, whether the extravagant compliments of French officers in America had been exaggerated. Among her admirers were Lafayette, Duc d'Orleans and Louis Philippe. The Spanish patriot, Miranda, once passed through Wilmington at night, and left his card at the post-office for Miss Vining, never having seen her. Even a twentieth century belle would not scorn the Revolutionary belle's rich and costly attire--the "pearl-colored satin gown, lined with cream-colored Persian; the blossom-colored satin cloak lined with white mantua, and the white satin petticoat, quilted with flowers." Marriage connections include the Reeds, and the Ames--Fisher Ames, the statesman. The arms illustrated are: Azure, a dolphin, embowed, naiant, or. The heraldic significance of a dolphin is charity, and the color azure is emblematic of loyalty and truth. The seal used by Joshua Fisher corresponds to these arms. There is a similarity between this coat-of-arms and that of the dauphin of France, which would argue descent of Joshua from the Norman knight. The arms of the martyred bishop were: Azure, a dolphin between three ears of wheat, or, and his motto--Faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum--"I will make you to become fishers of men." |
