Sophie -
In addition to the other material that I mentioned in my previous msg,
I note the following in abstracted records of New Garden MM,PA:

1-25-1753 Francis Fisher, son of Thomas, dec'd, Chester co,PA, marries
at London Grove MH, Rachel Wickersham, dau of William,
Chester co,PA
1- 2-1762 Francis Fisher, wife Rachel & children Hannah, Jane, William,
Job & Elizabeth rocf Bradford MM
8- 3-1765 Francis Fisher disowned for disunity

The father, Thomas Fisher, is likely the individual granted certificate
to Bradford MM on 5 4M 1742 by Newark MM. There is no clear evidence
at Newark MM, but appears likely that this Thomas Fisher is son of the
Thomas Fisher (b.ca.1688) who married Elizabeth Huntley on 13 2M 1713
at Concord MM & was received at Newark MM on 4 10M 1714 on cert from
Concord MM.

Perhaps someone with access to records of Bradford MM could confirm
this theory.

Regards, Jerry Richmond
