INTRODUCTION.
This work was undertaken in a small way in the spriufj^of
1892, and soon assumed quite large proportions. But itluLs
been the source of many pleasantly sp^ hours, and in its pro-
duction the writer has gained a clearer insight into the character
of the people of New England, with whom he has been brought
in contact, and the phases of the social and political life of the
communities they resided in, than perhaps he could have had
by any other means. It is not an unnatural thing that one,
reared far from the home for so long of many of his ancestors,
should desire to know whence they hailed from, and what
history and tradition reveal of them. Journeys have been
taken to many places in New England, and the reconls
searched, and yet the whole field has not been completely cov-
ered and all available records collated and recorded. This is
a task of a lifetime and it must devolve upon some resident
in the nudst of the district long the home of the family.
Many persons have undoubt^y searched long anddiUgeutly
for records of both early and later generations of the family,
but much of their work is lost, or destroyed, or happily placed
away while they await a season of inspiration and zeal before
they get at it again. But it has been impressed on some to
give what they can, — yea, they feel they are under obligations
to do so for those who have not the opportunity of gaining
even what they have, and so they put foith what, be it much
or little, helps others at the time help is so much needed.
There is a necessity that the histories of many families be
written up and published ; that the work in the earlier genera-
ations be as systematic and thorough as possible to clear up
the doubtful points before the time comes when there will be
no chance of a solution. Even to the person who is but run-
ning down one line to find a Revolutioiiary sire, or perchance
a Mayflower ancestor, there is the liability of repeated errors
if the whole ground is not gone carefully over, and care taken
that the successive generations are correct. With that in
view, the present woik is offered in the hope of doing some
good at once.

Col. Horace Newton Fisher made investigations on the
subject oX the Dedham immigrants when in Harvard Law
School, supplemented by research in Bngland during a resi-
dence there just before the war. These investigatiras were
made particularly with regaxd to his branch of the htmily, and
were greatly facilitated by the use of material collected by his
father and uncles. We have placed the account which he
gives of the Fishers of Syleham, England, and their connec-
tions, in the first pages of this work.
Many years ago, Charles Fisher, of Cincinnati, O., gathered
family records among all the relatives he could find, but this
material has long ago disappeared. The late Nathaniel G.
Chapin, Esq., of Brookline, Mass., worked for a number of
years, desiring to gain a complete record of all the descend-
ants of Nathaniel and Hantuih (Baker) Fisher, of Canton,
Mass., and his material is accurate and very complete to the
last day he woiked upon it. We have had but to re-^urange his
material, kindly placed at our disposal by the widow, Mrs.
Harriet Louisa (Fisher) Chapin, and add the latier events.
Or. Harriett P. Hooper, of Lebanon, Pa., had worked for
six years, gathering material for a genealogy which should be
a memorial to her mother. Her prof esabnal work has allowed
her to give less time to the work than she desired, and she
has kindly sent a vast amount of material of her own and
other branches of the family to the compiler, and it has been
incorporated into the work.
Much help, counsel and wise suggestion have come from
the officers of the Dedham Historical Society. Mr. Don
Gleason Hill, its president, has given the greatest aid to the
compiler in the use of books and manuscripts in the society's
building in Dedham, Mass., and Mr. J. H. Tuttle has printed
a large number of the families of the earlier generations in
the Dedham Historical Register. We are pleased to look
back to the time when the first installment came out in the
Register (October, 1892), and see the hope realized in this
book that an interest would be excited that could lead to an
extended memorial of the family.
Among many others who have helped toward the com-
pletion of the work: Miss Mary Curtis Fisher, of Ponka-
ApoSf Canton, Mass., by personid counsel and a great many
records of events in the descendants of Ezekiel Fisher, of
Canton ; Mr. Albert Judson Fisher, of Chicago, by records
in the descendants of Aaron Fisher, Senior, of Wendell,
Mass.; Mrs. Alice C. Hall, of Cambridge, Mass., by items of
Rev. Jonathan Fisher, of Blue Hill, Me., and descendants ;

For the coat of arms we are all indebted to* the research of

In Papworth's ''An Ordinary of British. Armorials "is a
description of a coat of arms granted to a Fisher :
Azure, a dolphin embowed naiant or. Tlus corresponds
to the coat reproduced above except in one particular, that
'* naiant" shows the dolphin facing the right of the shield,
whereas in the illustration it faces the reverse. As yet it has
not been lound when and upon whom this coat was bestowed.

PISHBR COAT OP ARMS. VU
The seal used by Josliua Fisher (2) ou his will was care-
fully examined by Mitchell, the seal eugraver of Boston, in
1858, who also took wax impressions and reproduced the anus
used by said Joshua. The seal corresponds to what libenexer
Fisher (d. 1847) , cashier of the Dedham Bank, used to say was
the seal used by his grandfather, Capt. Ebenexer Fisher ( 144) ,
of Dedham (b. 1721 ; d. 1798), which seal he had in posses-
sion at his death, but which, with several valuable family me*
mentoes, have disappeared, to the great regret of his children
and other members of the family. • Mr. Mitchell was directed
to reproduce the coat of arms from the seal as accurately xs
might be, which he did ; though he said that the dolphin
ought to face to the right instead of to the left of the shield ;
and so the arms reproduced have followed the facing of the
arms actually used.
As was customary with the English Puritans of that time,
Joshua Fisher, Senior, used on his will, dated May 2, 1674,
his arms, but no crest. The crest copied by Mitchell, on the
annexed coat of arms, was the crest used by Captain Daniel
Fisher (11), of Dedham, on several Indian treaties and deeds
negotiated by him, and also used by his son. Captain Daniel
Fi^er, 2d (25), of Dedham, on his will, dated Sept. 15,
1 7 13. There is some reason therefore to consider the crest
and arms engraved by Mitchell as authentic, for their use
would be a crime in the eyes of the Puritaas if the user had
no right to them.
There is a remarkable similarity between these anus and
those of the Dauphin of France, bestowed by the last Count
of Dauphine on the heir-apparent to the French crown. It is
also the same, states Jameson's History of Medway, Mass., as
the one described in 77i€ History of Norfolk County, JCntr-
laiul, with notices of Richard and Edwanl Fisher, *' Gentle-
men," '* Richard Fisher, Chaplain, 1442, John Fyshere, 1449,
burgess of Thetford, the Reverend William Fisher, a Public
Benefactor," and of Mrs. Mary Fisher, '* who died and went
to Heaven in a hurricane."
The arms of Bishop John Fisher, the martyr, are as follows:
Azure, a dolphin embowed between three ears of wheat or.
John Fysher, Bishop of Rochester, 1504, and a Cardinal.
So Edmondson's Hei^ldry described them, and we have
learned that his motto, found engraved above his cha]>el and
tomb was the* words : * ' Faciam vos fieri Pi.scatores hominum. * '
(I will make you to become Fishers of men.) He was born
about 1460, martyred June 22, 1535, one of the four children
of Robert Fisher, a rich mercer, who resided at Beverly in
the East Riding of Yorkshire.

THB PAMII^Y IN ENGLAND.
1. Anthony' Fiskbr lived in the latter part of Queen
BUzabeth's reign, in the parish of Syleham» County Suffolk,
England,, on the south bank of the Waveney River, which
separates Suffolk from Norfolk, on a freehold esUte called
" Wignotte/' His wife was Mary, daughter of William
and Anne Fiske, of St. James, South Elmsham, County
Suffolk, —an old Puritan family of that county, which had
suffered dtiring the regions persecutious of Queen Mazy's
reign. The Parish Records of Syleham contain several refer-
ences to Anthony Fisher and his descendants which are an-
neaced in the language of the Records, namely :—
Anno Domini 1585. Joshua Fysher et Maria Fysher, Gemi-
ni, baptisadi fuer 24th die Februarii ano super dicto.
Anno Domini 1591. Antonius Fysher bapt. erat 23 Aprilis
anno sup. dicto.
Anno Domini 1599. Comelitis Fysher the sonne of Antho-
nye Fisher was bap. the six daye of Augusti.
Anthony Fysher was buried the eleventh day of April 1640.
Anno Domini 162 1. Joshua Fysher, the sonne of Joshua
Fysher, was baptized on the ii daye of Aprille.
Anno Dom. 1633. — Amos Fysher and Anne Lord were
married September 24;
Joshua Fysher and Anne Luson were married 7th February
Anno Dom. 1638.

refereuce to which will be found beyond. The author of that
Manuscript was Matthew Candler, a prominent Puritan min-
ister, settled at Codenham, County Suffolk, from which vicar-
. age he was ejected for nonconformity in 1662, by Bishop
Wren. Candler was a nephew of Mary Fiake, wife of An-
thony Fisher, of Syleham, and consequently first cousin of
Anthony Fisher, Senior, of Dorchester, and Joshua Fisher,
Senior, of Medfield. Thus Mathew Candler (b. 1604 ; d. 1663),
was not only likely to be acquainted with the leading Puritan
families of Suffolk, but was a cotemporary and near relation of
our kinsmen whocame to New England in the ''Great Puritan
Emigration." His statements in regard to them are therefore
worthy of confidence, especially as they are corroborated in
some detail by their brother Cornelius in his will dated 1638,
to which reference is made. Wlience it appears that in 1638
both Anthony and Mary (Fiske) Fisher, of Syleham, were
alive, and also their six children, whose names are given in
the Candler Manuscript.
Cornelius Fisher, M. A., of East Bergholt, in his will, dated
May 23, 1638, refers to members of his father's family byname,
thus:—
'*To my three brothers Joshua, Anthony and Amos, and
my two sisters, Marie Brigge and Martha Bucingham ....
My father and mother during their natural lives .... My
part in one tenament and certain land in Sileham called Wig-
iiotte .... My wife Elizabeth .... copyhold land in East
Bergholt."
His win was admitted to probate in London, in December,
1 64 1, in which year he probably died. From the Parish Rec-
ords of Syleham it appeals that Anthony Fisher, of Syleham,
died in 1640, and we know from other sources that his eldest sou,
Joshua, removed in that year to New England with his family.
Candler states that Elizabeth, the widow of Cornelius Fisher of
East Bergholt, married Rev. George Smith, of Dedham, in the
samecounty. Of the two daughters of Anthony Fisher, Mary
Brigge and Martha Buckingham, I have no further informa-
tion, not having inquired in regard to them, though possibly
their children may have come to New England and been iden-
tified with the Buckingham and Briggs families here. — Ac-
count of Col. Horace N. Fisher, of Brookline, Ma.ss.
ACCOUNT OP THE CANj^LBR MANUSCRIPT.
It is the work of one of the Puritan divines of the century
before the last, one o( the very few ministers of that class who
paid any attention to historical or genealogical inquiry. His
name was Matthias Candler; bom February 24, 1604; educa-

ted in the Univexsity of Cambridge ; became M. A., and in
1629 was presented to the vicarage of Codenham, in Suffolk,
a place in the hundred of Bosmere, near to Needham-Market
and but a few miles north of Ipswich. His father was a
schoolmaster at Yozlord, and his mother a member of a large
family named Piske» some of whom had been sufferers in the
persecution of the Protestants in the re^^ of Queen Mary»
and others, his near relations, had removed themselves, in the
time of the great Puritan emigration, to New England. He
died in March, Z663, having been for many years a most in-
fluential minister. The Manuscript is divided into two nearly
equal portions. The second portion is a great curiosity.
It conasts of accounts of families to whom the author was
iilma^H allied, or with whom he w;aswell acquainted,*-* but
many of such, who, though persons of good condition, clergy-
men and merchants, were not of the rank of those whose de*
scents the Heralds took cognizance, and concerning whom it
is therefore easy to obtain information, but the rank immedi-
ately below them .... There were several branches of it
[Fiske Family] in the southern parts of the county of Suffolk,
all springing from a Richard Fiske, who lived at the Broad
Gates, in Lazfield or Loxfield, the great-grandfather of Cand-
ler's mother. Fox, in his account of the burning, ol John
Npyes, speaks of Nicholas Fiske, who was one of the sons of
Richard.
Two other of his sons, Robert and William, fled in the time
of that terrible persecution. Sibil, the wife of Robert, was iu
great danger in those times, as was her sister, Isabella, origi-
nally Gold, who was confined in the Castle of Norwich, and
escaped death only by the power of her brothers, who were
men of great influence in the country. From Robert sprang
all of the name who were in the early emigration. Robert
Fiske had by Sibil Gold, his wife, four sons and one daughter.
.... William is described by his grandson as of St. James,
in South Blmham, and it is said of him, that be fled with his
father. His wife was Anne, daughter of Walter Ansty , of
Tibnam Long Row, in Norfolk. They had John, Nathaniel
and Bleaaar, Eunice, Hannah and Esther. Eunice died un-
married; Esther married John Challie of Red Hall, and Han-
nah, William Candler, and was the mother of our genealogist.
Of die children of John, all that lived to grow up, four in
number, transferred themselves to the new country. John
Fiske, the father, died in 1633. His wife was Aune, daugh-
ter of Robert Lantersee.
Two other of the early settlers from tliese parts of England
were related to the Fiskes. These were Joshua and Anthony

Fisher, who took their freedoms, Joshua in 1640, and Anthony
in 1646. They were brothers, sons of (Anthony) Fisher
of Syieham, by his wife Mary, who was probably another
daughter of William and Anne Fiske of South Elmham ; but
this is another instance in which we regret that Candler did
not draw his pedigrees with more precision. Candler does
not give us any further information respecting them; but we
may form some idea of the class of society from which they
sprang, from the notice which he takes of two of their broth-
ers, who appear to have remained in England : Cornelius, who
was M. A., and taught the school at East Bergholt ; and
Amos, who farmed an estate called Custridge Hall, in the parish
of Weeley, which is in the hundred of Tendxing, between
Colchester and the sea. Cornelius left no issue, and his widow
remarried with George Smith, a clergyman, who was one of
the ministers of Dedham, a famous seat of Puritan piety.
Amos married Anne Morice, the relict of Daniel Locke, and
had several children settled in those parts of Essex, of whom
it is not known that any of them followed in the steps of
thdr two uncles. — Joseph Hunter's Suffolk Emigrants ; from
Colls, of Mass. Historical Society, X, Third Series, Z37-173.
SECOND GENERATION.
2. Joshua*, son of Anthony ( i ) and Mary (Fiske) Fisher,
of Syleham, England, was baptized there, Feb. 24, 1585;
m. xst, ; m. 3d, Feb. 7, 1638, at Syleham,
England, Anne Luson, a sister of John I«us6n, who also came
to New England, settled at Dedham, and received his house-
lot there at the same time as the Fishers. Joshua Fisher
came to New England in 1639, with his second wife, (Anne
Luson), and daughter Mary. His son Joshua had preceded
him, arriving some time in 1638; for on "The First of ye
nth Month (1638),** Jan. z, 163^, Jd^ua, Jr., enters upon
the lot granted the smith and is to hold it and make improve-

his houselot in the center of the town of Medfield, where the
house of William Pt Hewins now stands. Was the first
deacon in the Medfield church, and was a selectman in 1653
and 1655. The value of his property in 1652 was ;^i8o. In
Z656 Joshua and Anne Fisher deeded part of the homestead
and other property to their son, John Fisher (7); for an
account of wh^h see under John (7). The Medfield home-
stead was inherited by John^ (7), John* (z6), Samuel* (37),
and finally John* (78), who, dying childl^ in 1802, left it to

So by the title of " Lieutenant Joshua " he was thereafter
known throughout the Colony. At the town meeting in
January, 1648-49, he was chosen selectman and continued in

pleted in May, 1665, ''at ^ place caUed Pocumptuck"

His son, Capt. Joshua, succeeded his father as inn-holder, and
is so described in his will. The site of the tavern was near the
junction of High and Court streets in
^^iJL^A -ffJ^^ Dedham. In the Dedham records,
^<S3r^J^y^T Jan, n, 1646-7, his house is spoken of
as on land adjoining the road to ''the landing place'' on
Charles River, BuUard street, north of High street. There was
a drinking-room in the brew-house, and one small beer vessel
among his effects, perhaps the same Madam Knight calls the
*' pewter engine," at the time of her visit.
In the Dedham records, under *' the sumes of mens estats,"
we find his property ass^sed at £^\t los., Feb. 20, 1656-7.
His homestead was appraised in 1648 at ^^40 36s.; on Sept.
20, 165 1 , at ;f 3 1 . Lieft. Fisher agreed to shinp^le the meeting
house at Dedham, Jan. 17, 1651-2, and have it done by June
24, 1652, for ;^i 5 ; later on we read, ' ' for couering the Meeting
house, nayies & other charges" ;f20. In 1642 the town
granted hLn a lot of eight acres, and another of six acres, and
the next year an additional lot. In the Division of 500 acres
he receives fifteen acres, March 7, 1652-3. In the Records
of the General Court: ''granted 1664.27, (3) to Lieut.
Joshua Fisher of Dedham, 300 acres upon Medfield line
toward the South, and Tyng's &rm toward the West, and an
acute angle toward the East. This land he seems to have
sold to Nicholas Wood. He appears to have previously re-
ceived a grant of 900 or 500 acres west of this gntnt, which he
had before sold to Edmund and William Sheffield. ' ' ( Morse's
Sherbom, p. 268.)
Roberts' History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company says of him :
*' From the Colonial archives of Massachusetts Bay we learn
that in 1648 he was appointed lieutenant of the military com-
pany in Dedham, and usually after this time he is styled
* Lieutenant,' and when he is not his name is connected with
some survey that identifies his individuality. In 1650 he was
appointed by the General Court to run the line between
Sudbury and Watertown ; in 1656 was appointed to lay out
Mr. Alcock's land, also Mr. Bradstreet's eight hundred acres;
in 1664 the General Court granted him three hundred acres of
land for surveying the south line of the patent of Massachu-
setts Bay, next to Plymouth; in z666, he settled the
controversy between Mr. Z. Gold and Gov. Endicott as to
land bounds, and laid out Gov. Endicott's farm on Ipswich
River ; in 1667 was appointed, with others, to lay out the

fttrther survey of the line between Massachusetts and Plym-
outh, and Oct. iz, 1670, the bill, forty shillings, of Lieut.
Fisher, for doing the same, was paid to his children. The
survey was reported to the General Court May 15, 1672, and
Lieut. Fisher died in August of that year. From the
records of Dorchester, we learn that Lieut. Fisher was
employed to run the line between Dedham and Dorchester ;
in 1670, to run the line from ' Blue Hill * to Pljrmouth ; in 1661,
Dorchester paid him for a new map of the town, and in 1670

(Faxon Gen., p. 39.) He was chosen surveyor at Dedham,
1652 to X654 ; in X652 he settled the estate of Henry Brookes ;
Feb. 3, X65X-3, Anthony was one of those appointed to
capture wolves, at 10 shillings for each wolf they shall kill,
and May 5, 1662, Dorchester '* voted whether Anthony Fisher
shall have four pounds allowed out of the town rate for
killing six wolves ; the vote was a£Eirmative".; Nov. 27, Z665,
he received x pound for killing three. Anthony Fisher, Jr.,
and Samuel Fisher were among the first to go to Wollomono-
poag (Wrentham) in x66x, and to claim part of the 600 acres
for the encouragement of the plantation ; Anthony being one
of the committee of Dedham Proprietors who were assembled
Jan. X2, X662, to look into the matter and reported ''they
have secured but ten men, and they caimot go with so small a
company— 'that they are not desirious to leave the world

Anthony located his ''improvements (so called) upon the east*
erly and southeasterly side of Whiting's Pond or the Great
Pond (previously known as the mill pond), but their houses
were some distance from the Pond, probably on what is now
Franklin Street, and on South Street.'* In 1688 there were
but 36 tax payers living in Wrentham. Nov. 6, 1664, he
was sent from Dedham to view the land '* about 12 or 14 xniles
from Hadley," Pocomptuck, the land which Dedham took
instead of that which it claimed at Natick, and in 1669
Anthony received 150 acres there for his part in surveying the
grant. Nov. 8, 1669, he was one of those who went and
treated with Philip Sagamore and bought the land at
Wrentham.
We first find Anthony's name in the records as paying the
town and county rate in 1648, in which year his house was
valued at £^0 8s. Soon thereafter he rented. land of Gov.
Stoughtoa,andoa ''ye6thof ye iithmo. 1651 (Jan. 6, 1653) he

The History of Dorchester, p. 195, sa3rs Anthony, Jr., was
selectman of Dorchester in 1664* The effort has be^ made
to determine which of the Anthonys was selectman of Dor-
chester, "sth(i mo:) 1666" (March 5. 1666), and 3 (10) 1666
(Dec. 3, 1666). From the subsequent narrative in the rec-
ords we would judge that Anthony, Senior, was selectman for
z666 and 1667, and Commissioner in 1666*
Aug. i4, 1669, Dedham granted " libertye to take 7 : or 8:

upon the plain lying southwest of Mr. Cook's farm, Nov. 2,
1642, and had four acres of woodland, Feb. 4, 1644-5. Sergeant
Daniel was chosen a town surveyor, X643, 1644, and 1648, and

1670, and 1683 ; and speaker of the House of Deputies in x68o,
1681 and X682 ; aftenrards he was one of the Court of Assist-
ants, in which office he died in 1683. He was a man of high
patriotic spirit, and is said to have been learned in the law.
(Dexter's Centennial Semum, p. 26.)
He is mentioned as Bnsign Daniel in the proceedings of the
town meetii^ of Jan. 10, 1658-9, and we read '^ Ensign Daniel
Fisher to be their captaine,*' in the proceedings of Oct. 15,
1673-
''The Millitsry Company of Dedham being destitat of ComiMion

We can gain some light as to his age from the following :
'* Daniell Fisher being aged about 43 yeares, being prsent at
both these meetings testify tl^ same," Jan. 39, 166Z-2. Also
a deposition of Daniel Fisher, aged 51, on Court files of Suffolk
County Court, 1669. Fac-similes of his signatures will also be
found in Hill's Dedham Records, IV, 271, 277. In a letter of
Wait Winthrop toFitz-John Winthrop, of New London, May 18,
1683, we find this item : '^ Our election is as formere, only Mr
Woodbridg and Uttle Fisher aded." (Mass. Hist. CoUs., 5th
Ser.. VIII, 436.)
The following named appointments reveal his estimate by
the Government as a representative at that time : In May,
1663, he was chosen one of the committee of thirteen to draw
up an answer to a letter written by King Charles II, to be sub-
mitted to the next General Court; in June, 1665, he was

the same year, with Lieut. Joshua Fisher, he was appointed to
lay out 500 acres of land granted on petition of William Hudson.
April 29, x668, he was chosen with Capt. Foster, as county
commissioner for Suffolk County ; also as one to settle the
Chickering estate ; was chosen to arrange matters in organize

was to return a list of soldiers who were entitlra to a bounty
for services in Philip's War ; was on a committee with Edmund
Quincy to divide an estate in Newbury ; was authorized to

to search out de&mers of government or governor ; one of the
committee from Massachusetts to dispose of conquered lands
taken in Indian wars ; and to arrange matters between the
Indians and the inhabitants of Sherbom and Marlborough.
He also took part in the effort to secure and retain the Mossa-
chusetts Charter, as appears by the following extract :
*' The securing of our original p«itent being matter of great
importance, and the former provision in that respect, made in
the year 1664, being at an end by the decease of most of the
persons betrusted in that order, this Court doth therefore order
that the patent be forthwith sent for, and committed to our
present honored Deputy Governor [Thomas Danforth], Capt.
John Richards, and Capt. Daniel Fisher, with Major Thomas
Clarke, one of the last committee who are to take care of the
same; towhosewisdom we refer it, to dispose of it as may best
tend to prevent any inconvenience relating thereunto." He
was on the committee '' to consider our laws already made, that

Fishers.) I understand by tradition (deemed reliable) that

His property was assessed at ^^139 on Feb. 20, 1656-7. It may
be presumed that he died suddenly, as he left no will for the
.settlement of his estate, which was administered upon by his
sons Daniel and John. The inventory, made Nov. 19, 1683,
(Suffolk Pro., file 1319) gives personal property and real estate
to the value of over £iy>.
There is some question as to the parentage of Ensign
Daniel, some contending that he was die Daniel, son of Amos,
of Custridge Hall, Essex, England, and that he came to New
England with his udcles and cousins in 1636 or 1637. But

bom the following we would conclude that .he was one of
Anthony's sons :
Letters of administration were granted '*to'Ensign Daniel
Fisher and Nathaniel Fisher sonnes of Anthony Fisher of
Dorchester." (Suffolk Pro., Liber VII, foL 122.) Nathaniel
Fibber (9) , in hils will appointed his ' ' brother«in-law Elder John
Hunting and brother Daniel Fisher Executors, ' ' and the inveu-
tory of the estate was presented by Elder John Hunting and
Captain Daniel Fisher. Also see extract from Dorchester
Records, supra, and account of John Fisher (12.)
About 1671, Col. Goffe and Col. Whalley , two of the regicide
judges of Charles I, were hidden "by Captain Daniel in a little
womI back of his house on Lowder street, near a pond. While
there secreted. Captain Daniel's daughter, Lydia, carried them
their food. GofEe was subsequently sent disguised as a serving-
man on horseback to Hadley, where Captain Daniel had
friends, remaining there a year in their care." (See under

The first death recorded in Dedham is that of '' John Fisher
deceased the 5^ of y* 7 mo., " 1637 (Sept. 5) . And his brother
Daniel, says the records, '' hath his lot by inheritance as heir
unto his brother." This gave Daniel a homestead close by
those of Anthony, his brother, and his kinsmen, John Luson
and Rev. John Allin; and it took the place of the grant of
a house lot which would otherwise have been made to him.
Col. Horace N. Fisher believes that Daniel and John were
sons of Amos (4), of Custridge £bill, Essex, England, (see
Dedham Historical Register, I, pp. 24-26), and evidences
the above act of the court in determining the- heir to John's
houselot as a proof. Another he makes as follows : ''Though
the Candler manuscript does not mention Daniel by name
among the children of Amos Fisher, it adds that ' his other
children died young;' not an unnatural error, as John, the
brother of Daniel and his companion in emigrating, did so die. .
It is noteworthy that the old New England custom of naming
the oldest son for the father and the next for the grandfather,
when applied to the children of Capt. Daniel Fisher of Ded-
ham, seems to corroborate this view."

and received pay for services from Jan. 24 to Dec. 27, X676;
conatable in 1685, 1686, and 1698. Is first mentioned on the
records as sergeant, Aug. 5, 1696 ; as captain, March 4,
1700. Daniel was first elected selectman Jan. 6, 1689-90, and
served also in 1693, 1695, 1696, 1697, 1^00, 1701, and two
years more; was representative 1700 to 1704, and 1712
and 1713. On Jan. 23, x68x, Dedham '* Granted to Daniell
Fisher timber vpon the Town Commons to make Boards to
Finish his house.'' I^ter he inherited the homestead of his
father where the rest of his life was spent.
John Fairbanks, an enterprising explorer, informed the se-
lectmen of Dedham of some good hind twelve miles from Had-
ley; and he, with Lieut. Daniel Fisher, was sent out to find
it. They returned with the report of good land. This was
Pocumtuck (Deerfield). It was probably through his inter-
vention, that, at a later date, his sister Lydia was selected to
become the confidential attendant of Goffe and Whalley, the
regicides, when they were concealed in the house of the Rev.
Mr. Russell at Hadley. He had often occasion to pass through
Hadley on his way to Deerfield. It was this Daniel Fisher
of whom the familiar story has been told, of leading Sir Ed-
mund Andros through the streets of Boston, April 19, 1689.
** Daniel Fisher had not forgotten the proscription of his
father. He was a stout, athletic man of a resolute spirit.
When the news of the tumult of the i8th of April reached Ded-
ham, Cajptain Fisher instantly set off for Boston, and came
rushing in with the country people, who were in such a rage
and heat as made all tremble again. Nothing would satisfy the
country party but binding the Governor with cords, and car-
rying him to a safer place. Soon was Captain Fisher seen
among the crowd, leading the pale and trembling Sir Ed-
mund by the collar of his coat from the house of Mr. Usher
back to Fort Hill." (Haven's Centenial Address at Dedham,
pp. 42 and 76, etc.)
Captain Daniel d. on the homestead in Dedham, Nov. 17,
1713. His grave is marked by stones in the Parish burial
ground. His widow d. March 19, 1726. Of her the Rev. Sam-
uel Dexter wrote in his diary : ** March 19*^ 1726. This Day
dyed Mrs. Mary Fisher, in ye 72d Year of her Age. She dyed
in a good old age . • . She was of a Weakly Constitu-

The will of Daniel Fisher (Suffolk Pro., vol. t8, fol. 137),
made Sept. 15, 1713, gave the homestead in Dedham to his

The Inventory of his estate [Suffolk Pro., XXVII, p. 78, ct

Abont this time the old tavern was raised six inches higher,
the walk filled with bricks ; it was fitted with closets and com-
pletely ftimished. On the death of the daughter, Mary, wife of
'Dr. Nathaniel Ames (the first of the name m Dedham) , a law-
suit developed over the ownership of the tavern ; *' the Doc-
Ux claiming inheritance through his son according to the
Province Law, and being opposed by others who claimed un-
der the English common law. The case was many years be-
fore the courts and was finally decided in favor of the Doctor;
this being the first time the principle was established that
the estate ascended to the father as next of kin to the son,
notwithstanding the intervening life estate in Hannah, widow
of Capt. Joshua." Dr. Ames m. 2d, Oct. 30, 1740, Deborah,
daughter of Jeremiah Fisher (62). After his decease his
widow continued to keep the tavern until her marriage with
Richard Woodward, when the hostelry passed under the title
of the Woodward Tavern, and was pulled down about 1817.

a d di t i o n of more modem construction on the front, or what,
with reference to the street, was the end. The rooms were
low, the windows small, and the lower floor was sunken a
little below the ground. There was no fence between the
house and the street, and the intervening space was covered
with grass of that thick and stubbed growth peculiar to such
l ocalit ie s. Behind was a large bam, while on both sides, and

*' It is a mortifying fact that one who for so long a time was
the only minister of Uie tovm, ' a good man and worthy minis-
ter of the gospel,' as all transmitted accounts are ready to
pronounce, should sleep in its ancient burial place without
stone or slab to mark the spot of his repose. The evidence
that there was such a minister in Dighton, who undertook not
only to teach the people in the way of truth and holiness, but to
rear a family to God, is in the graveyard : ' Here lyeth the
body of Nathaniel, ye son of ye Rev. Nathaniel Fisher and
Elizabeth, his wife, died Aug. i, 1728, aged 3 years/ *In
memory of Nathaniel, ye son of Rev. Mr. Nathaniel Fisher
and Elizabeth his wife, died Nov. ye 2d, 1748, in ye 15th

Townsend, Jeremiah Woodcock, Timothy Kingsbury, Eleaser Kings-
burv, Thomas Metcalf , Josiah Newell, Henry Prat, Benoni Woodward,
Zachariah Mills, and Samuel Parker, having heard that Captain Rob-
ert Cook and Captain Fisher had to say respecting the several matters
of difference ana dispute bcitween them, they agreed to leave with us
and sit down and alnde by onr advice and determination in the mat-
ter, and after some discourse among ourselves we united and concurred
unanimously in ye following opinion and advice to 'em, vis, ! We,
some of ye Brethren of ye Chh. here, having heard what Capt* Cook
and John Fisher Esq. have to say abont all past matters of d£GEerence
between them, do declare it to lie onr opinion that every past diffi-
culty and uneasiness be forgiven and nassed by them, and we advise
the said contending brethren to bury all their dTilierences in one com-
mon grave of forge tfulness, and for the time to come to live and act
together as brethren and Christians ought to do. This advice they
both thanked us for and accepted of. After this we sang Psal: 133. I
(Rev. Jonathan Townsend) called for a Tankard of drink, and drank
to both the heretofore contending, but now reconciled brethren,
wishing and praying that ye peace of God which passes all under-
standing might keep their hearts and minds thro' Christ Jesus, and
that they and all of us, for the time to come, mi't live and act together
in love and peace, that the God of love and peace might be with us,
to which Capt. Cook said Amen. I gave tne Tankard into Capt.
Cook's hand, he drank himself, and drank to Capt. Fisher, we all
dnnket sic fintiur, so the matter ended."

Northfield, and arrived on the evening of the litlt. At this
period. Upper Ashuelot was a frontier settlement, in the bos-
om of the wilderness. Its nearest neighbor was Northfield,
twenty mUes distant. Josiah was assigned a house lot, and
later elected deacon of the church gathered there. At a pro-
prietors' meeting, Jan. 7, 1740, he was granted ten acres of

On the loth oi Jnly, 1745, Deacon Josiah was killed as he was
dxiving his cow to pasture. He was found dead and scalped,
in the road, about half a mile from the old garrison, near
where Mr. Samson's back house on the main street of Keeue
now stands; and it is supposed that the Indian who shot him was
concealed behind a log which then lay within the present limits
of Mr. Samson's garden. He had a brass slug in his wrist,
which at the time, was conjectured to have been cut from a
warmine pan, that had lately been lost by one of the inhabi-
tants. X^^™ S. G. Drake's French and Indian Wars, 744-

from Stoughton on recemng the news of the Lexington
Alarm, and is mentioned as corporal in service from March
4, 1776, marching from Stoughton to fortify Dorchester
Heights, reinforcing the Continental Army. Also on the
roils as sezviug in June, 1776, marching to Moon Island
when the British fleet was driven out of Boston Harbor.
He was one of the committee to take into consideration the
Constitution proposed at the State Convention, Feb. 28, 1778 ;
was one of those supplied with funds at various times to pur-
chase supplies (or the families of Continental soldiera ; a dele-
gate chosen by the town to attend the State Convention to
consider the proposed Federal Constitution, Dec. 3, 1787 ;
one of the Guardians of the Ponkapog Indians, 1783*1792.
He was one of the committee to petition the Gen^iul Court
that the First Parish be incorporated as a separate town,
signing the petition April 17, 1795. •*The General Court
passed an order, June 26, 1794, that towns should be surveyed
and plans made. Nathaniel Fisher was then our surveyor.
He made his map on a scale of fifty chains to the inch, — or,
as he always spelled it, * intch.' It shows the location of the
houses only on what are now Pleasant and Washington streets ;
the ponds and brooks ; the situation of the mills, with the names
of their owners ; the meeting house ; and the hay bridges over
the Neponset." Nathanid was the executor of the will of
John Boylston, a young blacksmith, who d. Sept. 8, 1775 ; was
on the school committee of the Centre Branch, First Parish,
in 1794, and the same year laid out the Feiuio farm of five
hundred acres.
He bought the lower privilege of the east branch of the Ne-
ponset River; **in 1794 we find Nathaniel Fisher had his
* great forge' and * come mill ' here, and in 1797, scythes were
made here. A plan before me, drawn by N. P. himself, shows
the forge to have been on the south side of the stream, and
the corn-mill on the north, both above the bridge. Fisher
was the surveyor of his time, and to him we are indebted for
many plans of ancient homesteads as well as the town map of
1793." So wrote the genial historian of Canton. The site of
the great forge and '' come mill '* is where the East Branch of
the Neponset River crosses Railroad Street in present Canton.
The inventory of his estate, made at Canton, March 11,
1797, shows personal property valued at over $3,100; the
homestead of one hundred and forty-four acres, appraised at
$3*277; the mill lot of four acres and buildings, at $1,600;
home farm of sixty acres at $1 ,200, etc. ; the total of real estate
l)eing $10,065. The personal property, shown by the inven-
tory made March 4, 1797, was valued at $2,487.07.

Wa.Hhington street, not far from the old Taunton turnpike,
Ponkapog, was erected in 1780-81, by Bzekiel Fisher, a grand-
father of the present owner and occupant, Charles Fisher
(393)- It is a large two-story frame house, and stands near
a brook which for more than two hundred years furnished
power for mills of various kinds. The great diimney, which
was more than twelve feet square, has been replaced by a
smaller one, but with few exceptions the house is about as it
\yas when new. In the chimney was a broad tile on which
the builder had carved * E. F., 1781,' which Mr. Fisher still
has in the house. All the Fishers have borne an active part in
the town. This old homestead has never been out of the family
in the one hundred and sixteen years since it was built. It
is stated that this was the first painted house in town, and
great was the astonishment, and dire the prophecies among
the wise-acres, of the disasters that would surely be visited
on the head of the extravagant owner. Clapboarding was
also first seen on this building, and it was the object of curiosity
and amazement of all the neighborhood." — G. Henry Pow-
ell, in Canton Journal^ 1897. Elijah erected in 1790, the fine
old house on Washington street, near Canton Cemetery, owned

Dr. Nathaniel Ames, of Dedham. His first marriage on Sept.
149 i733> ^'vas to Mary, daughter of Captain Joshua (38)
and Hannah (Fuller) Fisher. By that marriage he had one
son, b. Oct. 34, 1737; the mother died Nov. 13, 1737, and
the child, Sept. 17, 1738. '* By that marriage he became pos-
sessed ci the old tavern estate situated on High street, in
Dedham, nearly opposite the northwesterly comer of the
present Court House lot. Her distinguished husband dsring
of a bilious fever, July 11, Z764, left her a widow in htf forty-
first year. She remained such, in successful charge of the
fa^ionable hotel left by her husband, until she married Rich-
ard Woodward, Esq. Three of her four sons, and a step-son
(Peter Woodward), and a son-in-law, graduated at Harvard
College. To her efforts has traditionally beeii attributed
much toward producing such results. She was a very shrewd
and sensible woman, of a strong and singular cast of mind.
She took a hearty interest in politics, and hated the Jacobins
devoutly. Inn-keeping was a favorite occupation with her,
and she carried matters with a high hand. We have heard her
compared to Meg Dods, the landlady in St. Ronan's Well."
She outlived her son, Fisher, and d. Nov. 10, 18x7, aged 94.
Dr. Azei Ames says of her : *' On the death of Dr. Ames, in
1764, the tavern became the property of his widow, Debonsdi,
who had the bad taste and worst fortune to marry, eight years
later, one Richard Woodward, who succeeded, as there are
only too many evidences, in making life miserable for her,
himself and everyone else, until their separatum. During the
Revolution the tavern was a busy place, reviving the excite-
ment and bustle which possessed it in the days <S the French
and King Philip's wars, a hundred years before. At its fireside
sat Wa^kington, Lafayette, the Adamses, Hancock and most
of the notables, civil and military, of the great struggle in sup-
port of that broader ' declaration of Independence, ' with which
in 1776, the people of the Province of Massachusetts Bay and
of her sister Provinces supplemented their declaration of 1692,
of freedom from canonical and unjust rule." For a clear and

signed the petition for the incorporation of Canton. He lived
in the old house still standing on Chapman Street, between
Sherman Street and the railroad bridge. In 1801 , Abel bought
of his brother Elijah, '*the dark colored stage," which he
had himself built, together with a full set of harness tipped with
brass ; also the box, slate, and all privileges of which Elijah
was owner at Major King's tavern in Boston. Soon after he
sold out to Friend Crane, who continued to run the stage from
Boston to Canton. An item in his day book reads as follows :
** Oct. 21, 1803. Came into Boston at 12 at night from Liver-
pool, Eng. Had 47 days passage and have been gone from
home 16 weeks and 3 days ; paid the Captain 1 10 dollars for
passage out and back. ' ' Family tradition says that he visited
the home of his ancestors in England, though we have no
evidence to prove the assertion. In 1802, a cotton mill was
erected on the lower privilege of the East Branch of the
Neponset River in Canton, where in 1794 Nathaniel Fisher
had his *' great forge " and *' come mill/' Mr. James Beau-
mont, who was b. in Denby, Eng., entered into a partnership
with Abel Fisher and Lemuel Bailey, and in 1803, under the
firm name of James Beaumont and Company, began the spin-
ning of cotton yam. The first manufactured was used as
wicking by the candle-makers. Subsequently warp and filling
yam was made for domestic cloth, and .soon after cotton cloth
was manufactured. This copartnership was in due time dis-
solved.

a zealous Unitarian, a life member of the Association and a
constant subscriber to the Christian Register. A member of
our church in Augusta, Me., for nearly fifty years, she lived
a truly Christian life, and was always a worker in the society.
Her culture and pleasing manner specially fitted her to be a
teacher of the young, and for many years she did faithful
work in the Sunday School. In her latter years she was a
kind friend and a wise counsellor. Through right living she
retained her faculties of mind and body to the last, and her
end was peaceful. With no lingering illness, with scarcely a

Elijah G. Welles, was succeeded by that of Mr. Fisher.
''The ordaining sermon was preached by Dr. Lathrop, then 80

and salvation of his flock, and had the satisbction of seeing the
church built up, strengthened, and the evil effects of long dis-

ness and perseverance. For a quarter of a century he kept
his eye on the interests of the church; It was lus heart's

Christians might abound in good works. As a preacher he

soals and sought their eternal welfare. In a general view of
his ministry every one must say * he magnified his office. ' With
his own people^ and with all who knew him, he enjoyed a good
^ name. That he had faults none will deny. Had he been with-
out he would have been more than human. But he was char-
acterized by tenderness of conscience and a nice and quick sen.se
of right and wrong. In the more private and endearing rela-
tions of father, husband, neighbor and friend those who knew
him longest and were most intimate with him can bear testimony
to his wwth. He has finished his course and gone to give up
his account and enter upon the awards of eternity. In his life
and death he has exhibited a confirmation of the truth that * a
good name i$ rather to be chosen than great riches, and that the
day of death is better than the day of our birth. ' " He received

he was admitted to the classical course in Amherst College.
In coUe^e, it is said that he was distinguished for industry
and ability ; but further sickness and the necessity of earning
the money to meet his necessary expenses, operated to so
'hinder, that he was not regularly graduated until 1829. He
then entered Newton Theological Seminary, where he con-
tinued his studies until about the time of his ordination. Rev.
Ezra Fisher was ordained to the ministry by a council called
for that purpose, at (and by the request of) the Baptist church
of Cambridge, Vt., Jan. 20, 1830 ; and he began his pastonil
work as pastor of that church. Two days after his marriage,
he and his wife started on their journey to this field of their
first labors. The pastorate continued one year, his letter of
dismissal from the church being dated Feb.* 6, 1831. From
Cambridge, he was called to the Baptist church at Springfield,
Vt., and his labors there were very succes.Hful, resulting in the
conversion and baptism of eighty persons in less than two
yearn.
There seems no reason for supposing that pastoml relations
were severed for lack of sympathy between pa.stor and people,
but Rev. Ezra was always deeply interested in mission work,
and at the sacrifice of much that he held very dear, was eager
to be among the first to plant the standard of the cross among
the new settlements in the western region. So, among the
first appointments of the Am^ican Baptist Home Mission
Society was one issued in November, 1832, commissioning
Rev. Ezra Fisher to go as missionary to Indianapolis, Ind.
The salary was $300 a year, $50 being appropriated for outfit.
In this field he labored until May, 1836, and was again com-
missioned, June 4, 1836, to go to Quincy, 111. In Quiiicy he
preached for five yeaxs, being the first pastor of the First
Baptist church. June 26, 1836, he baptized two converts, the
first Baptist converts in that city or region, l^ey bought a
lot in 1837, and in 1838 their church was erected. It was
during this pastorate in Quincy that Lovejoy fell while advo-
cating the cause of the down-trodden and oppressed ; but Ezra
Fisher ceased not to raise his voice in public in the cause of
liberty, when to do so was to take his life in his hand. His
next commission was to the churches of Davenport and Bloom-
ington, in the then territory of Iowa, bearing date June, 1841.
On the way to this new charge, he spent a few months at
Muscatine, Iowa, as pastor of Uie church there, stopping a
short time also at Independence, Iowa, and reaching Daven-
port in the fall of 1842. He resided there as pastor of that
church until the summer of 1843, at which time (having
decided to go to Oregon the following year), he took his

family to New York state, for the two-fold purpose of visiting
relatives and making preparations for the long joamey. He
returned to Illinois in Dec., 1843, ^^^ serious sickness in the
family delayed him, and the date of departure for Ore||^ was
deferred one year. The family spent the following winter at
the Taft homestead, at Clinton, Oneida County, N. Y. He
was commissioned by the Home Board, May i, 1844, to labor
at Rock Island, Ills. This service lasted eleven months.
'' Early in April, 1845, he was commissioned by the Ameri-
can Baptist Home Mission Society for Astoria, Oregon, at a
salary of $200 per year. The tedious journey across Uie plains
with ox-teams was begun from St. Joseph, Mo., May 20, 1845.
When they arrived at The DaUes of the Columbia, some time in
October, he preached his first sermon in Oregon to others than
members of his own immigrant company. Not until Dec. 22,
1845, did he reach the place on Tualitin plains where it was
thought best to winter, Deacon D. T. Lenox giving up one-
half of his log cabin for their use. Having decided to remain
there for a time. Rev. Ezra at once allied himself with the
West Union church, then the only Baptist church in this
northwest territory. During- the winter of 1845-6 he taught
school, and in the spring as much of his time as possible was
given to exploring the surrounding country, and seeking out
such Baptists as were among the pioneers of those days. About
this time he was chosen pastor of the West Union church, and
preached his first sermon as pastor on July 11, 1846. The
pastorate was short, as he moved to Astoria in the fail of the
same year. In 1847, he moved to Clatsop plains, where he
soon began building a log house to be used as a meeting house
and school house. The Clatsop Plains Baptist church was or-
ganized March 19, 1848, among the members being the pastor,
his wife, Lucy Fisher, and daughter, Lucy Jane Grey Fisher.
On June 23, 1848, the Willamette Association was formed, with
Rev. Ezra as its moderator. He then took a trip to California,
and on his return in the fall, decided to locate at Oregon City,
and there he and his family moved in 1850, being received by
the church there on first Sunday of February, 1850. Here
for two years most of his time was given to teadiing the school
in the one-roomed church, 20 by 30 feet in size. Here were
gathered scholars of all ages and grades numbering during the
winter months 60 to 100. His daughter, Lucy Jane, who had
previously taught at Skipanon and Clatsop, assisted him."
Later a Baptist college was projected and subscriptions to the
estimated amount of $4000, received; and in 1852, a building,
34 by 60 feet in size, three stories in height was enclosed and
partly furnished.

Rev. Ezra was appointed by the Home Mission Society
'* exploring agent for Oregon ; and in this capacity he served
the Society for four years. During the years he was called in
(he coarse of events to preside over the first Baptist convention,
the first Association, the first Ministerial conference and the
first Baptist council ever held in Oregon." He was yearly
elected moderator of the Ministerial conferences of 1854, '55,
'56, '57, and of the Convallis Association of 1851, '52, '53, '54,
and 1863. In the fall of 1855 he organized the Powell's
Valley church (12 miles east of Portland); on May 15, 1855,
assisted in organizing the First Baptist church of Portland,
giving the charge to Uie church, and the right hand of fellow-
ship to the pastor, Rev. W. F. Boyakin, on May 6th. In
1855, when he resigned as exploring agent, he became pastor
of tilt Santiam church. " It was arranged that some of the
church members should, after their crops were harvested, send
teams to Oregon City to move his family to their new home."
Three covered wagons drawn by oxen carried them to their
destination in the month of December, being from Wednes-
day to the next Tuesday on the road. His salary was then
about $200 a year from the Home Mission Society. All
the meetings were held in the log schoolhouse at Soda Springs
(now Sodaville.) " He bought a piece of land on which was
an old house of four or five rooms. He kept some cows, raised
more or leas produce, and much of their living was provided
from the home garden, and the sale of butter and eggs at the
nearest tOMm (Lebanon, Linn County.) This pastorate, be-
ginning January, 1856, continued till the fall of 1858.
" In the summer of 186 1, he removed to the vicinity of The
Dalles, seeking a less humid climate in the hope that it would
benefit his health." A church was gathered there in 1863.
"He did not receive any salary, and was not able to give
much time to pastoral work; so would only consent to be
called a supply; This period of his work with and for The
Dalles City church ended in May, 1872, he having at that
time sold his home near The Dalles, and moved to the neigh-
borhood of San Diego, expecting to end his days in the mild
climate of southern California. But a year later the church
sent an urgent call to the pastorate, which he felt it his duty
to accept. In the winter of 1873-4, revival services were
held which -were so blessed of the Lord that 16 were added to
the church ; 14 by baptism." He attended the Baptist con-
vention held with the Pleasant Butte church, June 9 and 10,
1874, taking an active part. From there he went to the
meeting of the Willamette association at Forest Grove, and
on the Sabbath preached before the association. On the i8th

his life, a practical farmer, combining therewith such other
duties of a public character, not incompatible therewith.
There was little need of his services at home, and at ten years
of age he lived with Ensign^ Joseph Hawes, a farmer in the
neighborhood. He continued with him several years, and
matured early in physical strength, and fitted fainLself for
teaching school in the winter season, and farm labor the re-
mainder of the year. Before becoming of age he was em*

men of considerable prominence, Mr. James Woodward, and
Levi Hawes, who was fully recovered and for many years deacon
in the Congregational church. While teachix^ die school in
the south-west District in Franklin, he had a scholar possessing
for him unusual attractions. Whether he was accused of any
partiality in school I never knew ; but it was very evident
that such existed, and at the early age of seventeen years the
scholar became his wife. Caroline Fairbanks was the third
daughter of Capt. Asa Fairbanks, who was an officer in the
Revolutionary war, and who having recently died, the young
couple occupied a part of his late residence, and finally
purchased the farm. Here all their eight children were
bom, and here they lived for thirty years. Subsequently he
rented the farms of Capt. Ichabod Dean, and afterwards of
the late Col. Caleb Thurston, near Franklin centre. In about
1850 he bought two acres of land opposite the residence of
Davis Thayer, Jr., £sq., on the comer of Union and Central
streets, for the sum of two hundred dollars, and erected the
building now occupied by William F. Ray, Esq. ' ' He served
on the school committee six years between 180S and 1833;
was selectman 1824 to 1827 and in 1843, '' and as a justice of
the peace heard and tried cases as -a modem trialjustice in
addition to other duties usually pertaining to the office in his
day. He represented the town in the legislature in 1831."

x885f Aged 83 years. " At sixteen years of age he went to
Dedham and learned the shoemaker's trade and set up in the
business. Afterwards he was for a time in the cattle trade,
and finally settled on the old homestead of his father on Buck's
Hill in Franklin, where his second son, Hermon Maxcy, with
his two sisters, Maria Richardson and Harriet Metcalf, and
their step-mother now reside (1882). He was a man of much
more than common ability, of fine personal appearance, of a
very genial and cheerful disposition. He filled several import-
ant offices in town, was also at one time captain of the old mil-
itary company. He was one of the choir of the Congregational
church during the ministration of Dr. Emmons, and was so
much interested in the great divine that he was never absent
from the regular worship of the sanctuary." ** His first wife
was Persis Metcalf, only child of Dr. Paul Metcalf, and only
grandchild of Dr. Bbenezer Metcalf of Franklin. She was a
woman of culture, and graduated at Day's Academy in Wren-
tham, when that was a celebrated school. By this marriage he
had eleven children. Sarah Hawkins, the oldest daughter, died
at the age of 24. Martha Bmmons, the youngest daughter,
died at the age of 13. While they were both girls of more than
common ability, Martha was a. very attractive child, and her
pastor who was one of the school committee at that time, said
in her funeral sermon, that she was second to none in scholar-
ship of her age in town." His second wife, Abigail Blake,
"was a faithful wife and a good mother to his children. She
is very devoted to her church, and is now (1882) at nearly 80
years of age justly regarded in town as the mother of Method-
ism, and every body who knows her loves Aunt Abby. " Their

24ff. GBORGK^ son of Joseph (123) and Susan (Fisher)
Fisher, was b. March 17, 1788, '*in the house now owned by
Mr. Hermon Fisher on the old Fisher estate formerly called
* Buck's Hill, ' in Franklin. He worked upon the farm in his
youth, subsequently learned the trade of a mason, and labored
in Boston. Impelkd by a strong desire for knowledge, and
compelled to rely upon his own efforts, he saved his earnings
and commenced preparations for college with Rev. William
Williams in his Seminary at West Wrentham, and entered
and graduated with a good record at Brown University ( 1813) .
His elder brothers loaned him money to meet his colOege ex-
penses, which he afterwards fuUy repaid with interest. By
hard study his health became impaired, and he went to the
South to recuperate. Retumix^ he commenced the study of
law (at Litdmeld) in Connecticut, and completed his course
in the office of Messrs. Forman and Sabin at Onondagua, N. Y.
In 1816, upon the organization of the new county of Qswejgo,
he established himself in his profession in the village, now dty ,
of ^rwego. His homestead occupied a lot of nearly three
acres in the very heart of the village. In 1838 he was elected
a member of Congress, and took his seat, but the election was
contested by Silas Wright, Jr., to wluwi it was eventually
awarded. After pursuing the practice of law, holding in the
meantime various offices and public trusts, he abandoned his
profession for commercial pursuits (in 1836) and chiefly devoted
himself to the flouring business, which was becoming a new
and important industry. Mr. Fisher married Elizabeth Porter,
daughter of the Rev. Dan Huntington, of Hadley, and elder
sister of Bishop Huntington, of Syracuse, N. Y. His first
acquaintance with Miss Huntington was in a stage ride from
Northampton to Troy, N. Y., where she was engaged as a
teacher in the celebrated school of Miss WiUard. Brom the
accidental meeting came in due time a courtship, marriage,
and a family of four sons and two daughters. Having thus a
family and adequate means, he desired to give them the best
education ; he went to Paris and spent several years on the
Continent, where they acquired both a colloquial and gram-
matical knowledge of the French language. Subsequently
his four sons graduated at Harvard Univenity, and hui
daughters at the best schools of the times. After the destruc-
tion of his mill property by fire, he devoted himself to insur-
ance as president of the Northwestern Insuzance Co., a very
strong and popular institution at that time. Later (about
1853) he left Oswego to reside with his children, several of
whom were settled in New York, where he died March 36,
1861, in the seventy-fourth year of his age.

and many more very poor. His fortunes alternated, but never
reached either extreme. After the storm subsided he was

Rev. Caleb Gannett Chief Justice Blowen, of Nova Scotia,
and Chief Justice Bliss, of New Brunswick."
** Little is known of the pursuits of Mr. Fisher for several
years after he left Cambridge." He seems to have taught
school for a while in his native town. [See article on Schools
and Teachers, in Dedham Historical Register, Vol. Ill, p.
179.] '" But soon after the Revolution bqgan, he was in the
service of the English Church * Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel in Foreign Parts,' as a schoolmaster at Gran-
ville, near Annapolis, Nova Scotia. May 13, Z777, he was
recommended to that society by its correspouiting committee
at Halifax, as ' a man of learning and good sense, of unex-
ceptional character and worthy of being admitted to Holy
Orders as an assistant to the R!ev. Mr. Wood, of Annapolis.'
Mr. Fisher soon crossed the Atlantic, was ordained
by the Bishop of London, the celebrated Dr. Robert Lovrth,
and was licensed by him, Sept. 25,- 1777, as Mr. Wood's
assistant, and early in 1778 his arrival at Annapolis was an-
nounced to the society. The death of Mr. Wood occurred
ihe same year, so that the charge of the churches at Annapolis
and Granville — which formed one mission —probably de-
volved on Mr. Fisher."
** The position thus occupied by him was not an unimport-
ant one. Though Annapolis had declined after the settlement
of Halifax, and the establishment of the Provincial Govern-
ment in the latter place, in 1750, it still retained a consider-
able population, which rapidly increased, during the Ameri-
can Revolution, by the Immigration of Loyalists, many of
whom were persons of high intelligence and character. The
services of Mr. Fisher in this mission proved highly acceptable
and the Governor and Council of the Province were desirous
to retain him in it. The gentleman who was first appointed
to succeed Mr. Wood, never took charge of the church at
Annapolis, and Mr. Fisher officiated there more or less steadily
till the close of 1781. He then returned to Massachusetts,
having landed at Portsmouth, N. H., and was immediately
invited to the rectorship of St. Peter's Church, Salem, which
he accepted and entered upon his duties there, on Sunday,
February 25, 1782.*' ** 1782, Feb. 25, Nathaniel Fisher begins
to officiate at the Episcopal church Mr. Fisher voted
j^isoa year."
''According to Mr. Felt, in his Annals of Salem, Mr. Fisher
was admitted, Jan. 30, 1782, a subject of Massachusetts, on
condition of taking the oath of fidelity and allegiance to this
Commonwealth. As a subject of Great Britain, though bom in

Dedliam, Mass., he had been imprisoned, bntwas now enlarged.
Soon after his invitation to Salem, he received overtures from
one of the churches in Boston for a settlement, with a. much
larger salary, which he rejected with a strong expression of
offended honor." He was married on April 5, 1782, at Ded-
ham, to Silence, daughter of Jeremiah and Elizabeth (Dwight)
Baker, of West Dedham, who was b. there, Aug. 11, 1748,
and d. in Salem, Dec. 5, 1831.
*' His ministry in Salem extended over a period of thirty
years, and closed only with his life. In the early part of it he
took an active part in measures for the oi^nization of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in Massachusetts and the
adjacent States, and was held in high respect by the clergy
and laity. He was secretary of the first convention of the
Episcopal churches in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, held
after the Revolution, (in Boston, September 8, 1784), and
was appointed, together with the Rev. Mr. Bass and the Rev;
Mr. Parker, — botii afterwards bishops of the diocese of Massa-
chusetts, a committee to call a convention of the churches in
these States and New Hampshire, whenever, in their opinion,
it should be necessary to deliberate upon some plan of main- '
taining uniformity in Divine worship, and adopting such
measures as may tend to the union and prosperity of the
Episcopal churches in the American States. Such a conven-
tion was called arid held in Boston, Sept. 7, 1785, and Mr.
Fisher was chosen its secretary. During its session, an
extended revision of the Prayer Book was proposed, (though
never actually adopted) and the Rev. Mr. Bass and Rev. Mr.
Fisher were appointed a committee to form collects for the
.case of persons who have lost their friends, for persons sick,
and for persons bound to sea."
** In July, 1787, a new church was consecrated at Portland,
and on the occasion Mr. Fisher preached the sermon, which
was afterwards published." At the Convention of Episcopal
Churches, held in Salem in 1790, he was placed on a com-
mittee to form a plan of an Ecclesiastical constitution, and the
constitution reported later on was adopted at Boston, Jan. 25,
179X. May 24, X791, he was elected at a convention as a
member of the first standing committee of the Diocese, was
appointed to preach the sermon at the opening of the next
convention and placed on a committee to provide for the
publication of an edition of the Book of Common Prayer, as
recently revised and set forth by the General Convention.
He published the following: "Sermon at the Execution
of Henry Blackburn," in 1796, and " Sermon preached Dec.
29i i799i OA ^« Death of Gen. Washington," 8vo, pp. 24.

He died of apoplexy on Sunday, December 20, 1812, be-

rented a farm on Blennarhassett's Island, Va., then secured a
property in Belpre, Ohio, from Col. Ebenezer Battcllein pay-
ment of debt, and here he remained the rest of his life, en-
gaged chiefly in farming, and was reasonably prosperous.
His wife and two children, William and Hannah, joined him
Dec. 25, 1799, and two other sons, Andrew and Seth the next
year, but Deborah Ames not till some time afterwards. The
rest of the children were either married or dead. Col. Daniel

266. D&. Nathanibi. AMBS^ oldest child of Deborah*
Fisher ( 137) and Dr. Nathaniel Ames» was b. in Dedham, in the
old tavern on Hi^hstreet, Oct. 9, 1741 ; graduated from Harvard
in 1761 ; ** studied medicine and received the degree of M. D. ,
was a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society and was
a successful practitioner of his profession at^ Dedham for over
fifty years. He was also Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas
for the County of Norfolk, and of the Court of Sessions from
1793 during its existence." Continuing, Brastus Worthing-
ton (in the Dedham Historical Register, I, pp. 9, 10) says :
'* For ten years ending in 1775 ^^ continued to publish the
Ames Almanacs, so that, indudii^ those published by father
and son, there are fifty numbers, all of which are now in the
possession of the Dedham Historical Society. Dr. Ames was
an intense partisan of the republican school, and his political
opinions are expressed without any reservation in his Diary,"
now being published in the numbers of the Dedham Historical
Rqrister, beginning with the first number of volume one.
''Tlie Diary, now in possession of the Dedham Historical
Society, begins in 1758, and, including all the consecutive
years, ends^with June 26, 1821. The Diary is valuable for
the extended period of time it was continued, for its concise,
comprehensive and accurate statements, which make it en-
tirely reliable, and it reflects a good deal of the spirit of that
period, which included the years before and during the
Revolution, as well as the first thirty years of our national
life. From this Diary the intelligent reader will easily infer
that Dr. Ames was a man of uncommon acuteness as an ob-
server, a student of varied tastes, fond of investigation, espe?
ciaUy in scientific matters, of quaint humor, strong in his
prejudices, and altogether a man of great originality and
force. The Diary was usually kept in interleaved Ames
Almanacs so long as these continued to be published. It wxs
written in a remarkably close but legible hand, and while
containing many entries pertaining to his private affairs, also
contains abundant references to current local events, national
politics, and to some extent the great events transpiring on
the continent of Europe."
*' He was married by the Rev^ M^ Clark of the Episcopal
Church at Dedham, on the 14th of June, 1775, to Miss
Meletiah, sister of Jeremiah Shuttleworth, the first pantmaster
of Dedham." They had no children.
" By the terms of his will, after the death of his widow his
property passed to Hannah Shuttleworth, her niece, from
whose bequest the building of the Dedham Historical Society
was erected. He built and occupied the house, now the

residence of Dr. John P. Maynard, on High street, which was
finished about 1772." He resided there until his death, July
22, 1 832. For further information see Sam Briggs' ''The

267. PiSHBR AMBS^ son of Deborah* Fisher (137) and
Dr. Nathaniel Ames, was b. in the old tavern on High Street,
Dedham, April 9, 1758 ; graduated from Harvard in 1774 ;
taught school till 1781, when he settled in Dedham, and began
the practice of law. He m. July 15, 1792, Frances, Uiird
daughter of Col. John Worthington, Esq., of Springfield, who
was b. Oct. 29, 1764, and d. Aug. 8, 1837. Col. John Worth-
ington, b. in 17x9, graduated at Yale in 1740, received LL.D.
in 1792 ; d. April 25, z8oo, aged 81 ; was colonel of militia
and high sherifi of Hartford County ; m. Jan. zo, 1759, Han-
nah, daughter of Rev. Samuel Hopkins, second minister of
West Springfield, who was baptized Jan. 29, 1731. Rev.
Samu^ Hopkins was b. Dec. 25, 1693, graduated at Yale in
1718; was ordained at West Springfield, Mass., in 1720; d.
in October, 1755 ; m. Esther Edwards, who was b. Aug. 6,
1695, ^^d d* J^uie 17, 1766.
After leaving college he taught school for some years, and
then studied law with William Tudor, and was admitted to
the Suffolk bar, Oct. 9, 1781. Fisher Ames was a member of
the State convention to consider the United States Constitution,
and served in the legislature. In 1789, after a distinguished
career as a lawyer and orator in his native state, he was elected
to the first Congress, and re-elected until 1796, when he with-
drew on account of failing health. He greatly distinguished
himself, particularly by his speech on Jay's Treaty. He lived
on his estate in Dedham, practicing there and in Boston. In
1804, ^^ was chosen to but declined the presidency of Harvard
College. He died at Dedham, July 4, x8o8, and was buried
in the old graveyard there, the spot being marked by a plain
monument bearing only the words ' ' Fisher Ames. ' ' A volume
of his works was published in Boston in X809. The " Works
of Fisher Ames " were again published in Boston in X854, in
which will be found a sketch of him by J. T. Kirkland. See

268. Dr. Joshua\ son oi Nathaniel ( 138) and Elizabeth
(Clapp) Fisher, was b. in Dedham, May 17, 1748. He began
his preparatory studies for Harvard College at six years of
age. '* He had an impediment of speech due to some con-
genital defect in the palate, which at a later period would
doubtless have been supplied by constructive surgery; but
which, in default of such relief, conq>elled him to keep a mov-
able silver plate in his mouth when using the organs of speech.
The consequence was that his articulation though singularly
distinct was painfully slow, and any modulation of voice would
have been impossible. But he was probably destined from his
childhood for a professional life, as he graduated at the early
age of seventeen (1766). After leaving college he taught
•school at Rowl^ for two years. He then had a severe attack
of pulmonic disease, which left him for a time an invalid. On
his restoration to health (1770) he studied medicine with Bela
Lincoln (M.- D., Aberdeen), of Hin^ham, who is believed to
have had in his time no superior in his profession. Dr. Fisher
commenced the practice of medicine in Ipswich, then removed
to Salem, then took up his abode in Beverly, which was his
place of residence for sixty or more of the eighty-four years of
his life, and from which his only absence of any duration formed
the one eventful epiyde in a career else singularly smooth and
even. He was ardently patriotic, and during the war of the
Revolution, in accordance with the approved moral standard
of his day, he entered the service of his country as surgeon of
a privateer. " * * ' The privateer was run ashore on the English
coast, the crew secreting themselves on land to escape an
English fleet. He finally reached France, reshipped in a more
successful cruiser, and subsequently returned to America in a
letter of Marque bound to Boston, where he arrived after a most
perilotis voyage." ** He rose to die front rank in his profession
and was vice-president of the Massachusetts Medical Society
from 1804. to 1815, when he succeeded the elder Warren xs
president, serving until 1823, when he resigned. He was one

of the earliest to oppose the laacet, and was engaged in one of
the first attempts to establish a factory for the manufacture of
cotton.
We find that Joshua Fisher was interested in the manu-
facture of cotton goods before Samuel Slater began at Paw-
tucket, R. I., in Z790. The results of Slater's successful
experiments was the beginning of the modem cotton spinning
lactory, but there was a small brick factory on Bass River in
1787, where the Beverly Company were making goods by
machinery. Previous to this date cotton spinning was by the
hand card, and one thread wheeL- John Cabot and Joshua
Fisher were the founders of the Beverly enterprise. It was not
a financial success. The expense attending the operation of
the factory was far greater than was warranted by the small
price obtained for die coarse fabric produced by the rude
machinery. In 1787, and again in 1790, the managers appealed
to the Legislature for aid. A grant of jC^coo was made, but
the Beverly Company &iled to make a success of this enter-
prise. The imperfect machinery employed failed to turn out
goods of the finish and beauty whidi the English Victories
could show, because of superior workmanship and improved
machinery.— Boston and the Textile Industry, in Professional
and Industrial History of Suffolk County, pp. 492-93.
He was a public man ; though retiring from general society,
he never did from public duty. He was an axdent Federalist
and was a member of the State Senate, for many years-president
of the Beverly Bank, and the founder and president of the
Beverly Charitable Society and added largely to its funds. He
took a great interest in natural history ; his powers of observ-
ing, comparing and remembering, well prepared him for this
branch of science, to which he devoted himself, whenever
opportunity offered, and even toward the^close of his long and
useful life he did not neglect his &vorite pursuit, but mani-
fested a sincere desire iu its behalf by bequeathing *' to the
President and Fellows of Harvard College the sum of twenty
thousand dollars, the income of it to be appropriated to the
support of a Professor of Natural History, comprehending the
three kingdoms, animal, vegetable and mineral, or a part of
them." This chair has been made illustrious by the late Pro-
fessor Asa Gray. He showed an interest in the religious
society of his native place by advancing $3000 to its funds,
and giving it a beU. As a physician he was highly esteemed
for those moral and intellectual qualities which add dignity to
the profession. The editor has consulted freely different

to Fitzwilliam, N. H. The History of Fitzwilliam says that
Jesse Fisher, from Attleboro, Mass* (which we believe to be
on error), ''was taxed at Fitzwilliam, six years, 1 793-1 798.
It is stated that he lived on Lot 8, Range x i, which he sold to
Peter Prescott, and that he afterwards Uved on Lot x6, Range
12, which he bought of Silas Wheeler." Then follows the
names and dates of births of three children recorded at Fitz-
wiUiam. From a pamphlet, entitled '* Reunion of the Fisher
Family, Grixmell, Iowa, Aug. 28, X878,'* we quote the follow-
ing: ''About the year 1798, our grandfather, Jesse Fisher,
moved up from Massachusetts or Southern New Hampshire
into the woods of Vermont, and settled in what is now the
town of Baltimore. He was a man of tremendous energy, but
of little culture, and was principally engaged in hewing down
the forests and in making his farm a fit abode for civilized
men." Jesse Fisher and his wife Jerusha were buried at
North Springfield, Vt., the epitaphs reading: "Mr. Jesse
Fisher died Sept. 20^, X822, in the 58^ year of his age."
" Mrs. Jerusha Fisher wife of Mr. Jesse Fisher died June i x^

309. Rbv. Jonathan*, son of Lieut. Joxiathan (X65)
and Catherine (Avery) Fisher, was b. in New Braintree,
Mass., Oct. 7, X768. When quite young (in 1773) his &ther
moved into that part of Northampton afterwards included in
Westhampton. After the death of his father he went to Rut-
land and spent the summer with his great tmcle, Timothy
Metcalf , and in the autunm, having reached his xiinth year,
went to live with his uxicle, the Rev. Joseph Avery, Congre-
gational minister of Holden. When he was nearing manhood
he began a life which has been described as ''successfully
overcoming obstacles that might well discourage any one."
We find that he taught school in Dedham, but the only date
of which we are certain is the winter of 1787-8, though he
may have taught at other periods. He received $3.00 per
month, and whSe continuing his studies helped out his salary
by making bird cages. He graduated at Harvard College in
1792 ; was licensed to preach in Brookline, Mass.
In the record of Plantation No. 5, now Blue Hill, Me., we
find that on Nov. 3, X794, it was voted that the selectmen in-
vite Rev. Mr. Fisher to preach four months next summer. He
went there, and preached for them, and the result was that on
Sept. 4, X79S, a committee, composed of John Peters, Robert
Parker, and Col. Nathan Parker, was appointed *' to apply to
Mr. Jonathan Fisher and see if he will settle as a minister of
this town," etc. On October x 2th &>llowing they "voted a
coxxmiittee to draught proposals to be offered to Mr. Fisher ;"
on Oct. x6th, they " voted proposals to Mr. Fisher," " a
minister's lot of three hundred acres of wild land, two hun-
dred dollars in cash, and a bam 30 by 40 feet as a settle-
ment." Oct. 22, X79S« they "voted that, this town accept
Mr. Fisher's answer of this day, and agree to his proposal,
settlement and salary, and that said answer be recorded."
" His axmual salary was two hundred dollars in cash, the
clearing of five acres of land, and cutting and hauling fifteen
cords of wood for the first ten years. Alter that two hundred
dollars, and thirty cords of wood yearly, with a vacation of
five Sabbaths each year." They voted on Jan. 4^ 1796, "that

there be ten acres chopped down for Mr. Fisher by the loth
of lifay nert. Voted that the bam to be built for Mr. Fisher
to be'putup at this meeting to the lowest bidder/' and Janu-
ary 9t]i following, '' Voted, that Daniel Spofford be allowed
$147 for building a bam for Mr. Fisher."
Mr. Fisher was ordained July 13, 1796, and became the
pastor of the Blue Hill Congregational church. R. G. F.
Candage says : *' The meeting house was not finished at that
time, as the ordination services are said to have been held in
an open field, nearly opposite the present Town Hall ; the Rev.
Peter Powers, of Deer Isle, preached the sermon. In 1797, it
is recorded that there was a great revival in this place, and in
the churches at Sedgwick, Deer Isle and Mt. Desert. The
^result at Blue Hill was that fifty-seven persons joined the
church under the pastoral care of Rev. Jonathan Fisher."
In 1816 there was another revival, many were converted,
forty-seven were added to Mr. Fudier's church. In 1S34
another revival was the means of adding forty-two to the
Congregational church.
There is a beautiful story of this town of Blue Hill ai\d its
first minister, entitled, " A Down East Village, a Memorable
Pastorate,'* from which we quote this description of Mr.
Fisher : ** It would be instructive to know how much of this
quiet and good order is the result of the faithful and prolonged
ministry of their first pastor. Rev. Jonathan Fisher, who
came into the place when it was a wildemess in 1793 and for
forty-one years was settled over this parish, and whom the
venexmble Dr. Pond pronounced ' the most remarkable man
he ever knew;' He was like many of the ministers of the
earlier days, a man of marked and pronounced character, and
left his impress strong and deep upon the people to whom he
ministered not only in ^iritual things, but of whose temporal
afibirs he was as well an overseer. He was a terror to evil
doers, and a praise to them that did well. He had an eye over
his congregation, and woe to the absentees from church or
prayer meeting, if they had not a valid excuse. He had a
watchful care over the children, was interested in their schoob
and hithful in instracting them in the catechism. He held
strongly to the doctrines of grace and was faithful and fearless
in proclaiming the whole counsel of God. The church which
is Uie oldest Congregational church in the county, and which
is looking forward to its centennial anniversary in 1872, grew
and prospered under his pastoral care. He was a good citizen,
as well as a careful pastor. He was active, enterprising, and
public spirited, famiUar with every family, and kept an accurate
register of marriages, births and deaths. There were few

movements for the wel&ure or interest of the commnnity of
which paxson Fisher, as he was familiarly called, was not
originator or active promoter. He was a man of wooderfnl
industry and versatibty of genius and ingenuity. Not only
was he a laborious minister and pastor, but to these duties he
added those of a farmer and g^axdener, cultivating Us own
farm and even building and painting his own house. Those
were not days of large salaries, and on what would now be
considered the pittance of $280, with a farm given him by the
parish, he reared a large family of nine children, sending one
son to college. While cultivating his fields he would be plan-
ning his sermons, and as a thought would strike his mind he
would jot it down on a piece of birch bark ; then on Saturday,
in his study, he would transcribe these thoughts and write out
his sermon. He was also an author, an artist and a poet. He
published several books, one of which, on ' Scripture Animals, '
was illnstnited by pictures of every animal, bird and insect re«
ferred to in the Bible engraved on wood by himself. He was
also a portrait and landscape painter. He painted his own
portrait sitting before a glalss. One copy is in the parlor of
his son-in-law, a deacon in the Congr^tional church, and
another in the Bangor Theological Seminiary, of which he was
one of the founders, and one of the trustees. He was withal
a laborious student and one of the best Hebrew scholars of his
day. He was about publishing a Hebrew lexicon that he had
prepared when that of Gesenius appeared. The influence of
such a man in this community, who as Dr. Pond says, was ' a
pattern of economy, industry and almost every social virtue,'
cannot be over-estimated. A tall shaft of the beautiful Blue
Hill granite marks* his resting place, on which is sculptured
an open Bible inscribed with his favorite motto, ' Know Thy-
self.' " He is also spoken of as ** a remarkable man, a good
farmer, a carpenter, a clock maker, a portrait painter, a wood
engraver, a poet, well versed in Hebrew, wrote out three
thousand sermons, an early riser, a great walker, a faithful
Christian. Under him the town became noted for industry,
thrift, good morals, and religious principles."

contains this item: '* When preaching at a salary of $200 a
year in money and certain wood, etc., in all amounting to
not more than $300, he brought up a family of seven children,
sent his daughter to boarding school, gave one son. Rev.
Josiah Fisher, of Princeton, N. J., a liberal education, and
saved enough money to pay the debt contracted while getting
his own education. He invented a shorthand, in which he
wrote his sermons, and by using which he estimated that.

during bis ministerial life, lie saved three years' time and $70
worth of paper."
A volume of his poems was printed by A. Shirley, Portland,
Me.t in 1827, entitled '* Short Poems: including a sketch of
the Scriptures to the book of Ruth," etc. Another work
was '' A Short Essay on Baptism," i2mo, Boston, 1817.
** Vay largely through his influence, the Blue Hill Academy
was incorporated in 1803, over which he watched and labored
to promote its prosperity and usefulness as a seat of learning,
not only for this town but for the vicinity."
Continuing from R. G. P. Candage's admirable historical
address, delivered at Blue Hill, Sept. 7, 1886, we quote as
follows:. '*The church which was built in the last century,
afttf much planning and with much sacrifice by the early
settlers, was modeled after the Old South Church in Boston,
as I have been informed, having square pews, a gallexy round
three sides, a high pulpit, with flights of steps leading to it,
and a sounding board over it. The first Sabbath of 1841 the
building was totally destroyed by fire In 1804-5 a
change came over some of Uie people of the town and vicinity
in regard to the ordinance of baptism. In 1805 twenty-eight
members of Mr. Fisher's church at Blue Hill seceded, being
dissatisfied with their baptism. Feb. 13, 1806, seventeen of
them were formed into a Baptist church, and held meetings
by themselves. Others followed, until forty-seven members
of Mr. Fisher's church withdrew and united with the Baptist
church. These were said to have been days of great trial to
Mr. Fisher, as nearly all of the seceding members had been
converted and brought into the church under his preaching.
These were days when denominational feeling was unyielding
and mncorous ; but it is said, to the honor of Mr. Fisher, that
he was not known to express an unkind word against, or
refiection upon, any Christian brother for the course he had
taken, and he was known to pray fervently and devoutly for
the blessing of God on the new church which had sprung
from among his own people In the year 1837, Mr.
Fisher being then advanced in years, gave place to a young
man, Mr. Albert Cole, to be the pastor, after a long and faithful
service of over forty-one years in the church. (The dismission
bore date of October 34, 1837). He left upon the people the
stamp of his piety and his intellectuality, wliich added greatly
in making this an intell^ent and intellectual community. "

313. Rbv. William*, son of Lieut. Jonathan' (165)
and Catherine (Avery) Fisher, waa b. in. Westhampton,
Mass., Nov. 20, 1775. His father had died at Morristown,
N. J., in the spring of 1777, when William wa.s but little
more than a year and a half old. His mother removed to her
father's home at Dedham, and when about eight or nine years
old he went to live with his maternal uncle, Deacon John
Avery, of Conway, Mass. He continued with his uncle at
work, until after he was twenty-one years old. While he re-
sided at Conway, and during an interesting revival, he was
converted and joined the chiuch, then under the pastoral care
of the Rev. John Emerson. He was then about sixteen years
of age. After his majority he was for several years employed
as a common laborer in different parts of the country. About
the year 1798 he went to WiUiamstown, Mass., and was em-
ployed in the erection of the new college building, which he
afterwards inhabitated as a student. For several years he
had manifested a desire to obtain an education, that he might
be qualified to preach the gospel ; but had hitherto been pre-
vented by want of means. But soon after he left WiUiams-
town, he made up his mind to obtain an education. Accord-
ingly, in the spring of 1800, he went to the academy in Deerfield,
Mass., of which his younger brother was then preceptor, and
commenced his studies. Here he pursued his classical studies
with untiring diligence until the fall of 1802, when he entered
the Sophomore class, in Williams College, of which class his
younger brother was then the instructor, and graduated with
.homM" in 1805. Soon after he left college he went to Lee, and
pursued his dieological studies under the direction of the ven-
erable Dr. Hyde, and was licensed to preach in 1807. He re-

ceived a caU, and was ordained over the church in Middlesex
(now Darien), Conn., in the fall of 1807. Here he labored
for nearly twelve years. In the summer of 1819 he was em-
ployed as a missionary in western New York. In October he
removed to Meredith, Delaware County, and was shortly after^
wards installed pastor of the church in that place. There he
labored for sixteen years, closing his labors on account of
sickness. He then removed with his family to the state of
Indiana, where his oldest son had previously settled with his
family. He purchased a farm, at the town of Allensville.
Here he succeeded in organizing a Presbyterian church, and
reorganized another, about nine miles distant, which had
fallen into decay. To these he alternately preached, while
his strength enabled him. After he became too feeble to min-
ister to both, he confined his labors to die church in Allens-
ville, until .the last winter of his life, when he took a severe
cold, accompanied with a distressing cough and great pros-
tration of strength, which terminated his ministerial labgrs.
He continued to decline till the X9th of April, 1840, when he
breathed out his spirit into the hands of his Redeemer.
'* Mr. Fisher was possessed of a mild and am^iable disposi*
tion ; and yet he was firm and persevering in whatever he
undertook. This trait in his character was manifested in his
acquiring a collegiate education almost entirely by the labor
of his own hands. As a preacher, he was warm and animated.
He preached the doctrines of grace plainly and pointedly, and
yet with much simplicity.'*
Mr. Fisher m. Oct. 25, 1807, Rhoda, daughter of Captain
Elijah and Sarah W. (Smith) Bardwell, of Goshen, Mass.,

Ware, his izthtr having died just previous to his birth, in the
Revolutionary army at Morristown, N. J. For a few years
Samud lived with his mother in Dedham, and in 1782 went
to Conway, Mass., to live with Dr. Ware, where he remained
tin he joined colleig;e.
He was graduated at Williams College in 1799; then
became preceptor in the Deerfield Academy. Was a tutor in
Williams Colle^ from 1801 to 1803, and then pursued his
theological studies with Dr. Hyde, of Lee, and was licensed
to preach by the Berkshire Association, Oct. 3, 1804. His
first pastorate was at Wilton, Conn., where he was ordained
Oct. 31, i8o4« In 1809 he was sent by the General Association
of Connecticut to represent that body in the General Assem-
bly of the Presbyterian Church at Philadelphia. Here he
formed an acc^uaintance with Dr. Richards, of Morristown,
and accompanied him to that place for a visit to the scene
of his faither's decease. This visit open^l for him the door
into the Presbyterian church, as, soon after. Dr. Richards
removed to Nemrk, and Mr. Fisher was invited to the charge
of the Morristown coi^egation. The call was accepted, and
he was dismissed from Wilton, Conn., July 5, 1809, and
installed at Morristown, Aug. 29, 1809. The congregation
was one of the largest in New Jersey, embracing, as it did,
over five hundred families, and covering a wide territory.
His ministry here was most acceptable aiul useful, but ended
April 27, 1814. Then he took charge of what became the
First Ptesbyterian Church in Pateraon, N. J., organizing
with thirteen members. , The church increased to five hun-
dred during his ministry there of twenty years, and he
pursued his duties with signal success, and exerted a power-
ful influence within and &i beyond the bounds of his parish.
In the summer of 1834, warned by failing health to seek
less arduous duties than those which had multiplied around
him in this long and important pastorate, he resigned his
charge.
His ministry after this period was comparatively broken,
though he continued to labor in the church at Rampp, N. Y.,
until 1840. Then, being unable to preach, he lived in West
Bloomfield, N. Y., till 1843, and then went to live in Albany,
N. Y. From 1844 to 1850 he supplied a church in Greenbush,
N. YJ, and in the latter year moved to Orange, N. Y. His
death occurred Dec. 29, 1856, at Suckasunny, N. J.
The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Nassau
Hall (the College of New Jersey) in 1827, and he honored
the title. He was the first moderator of the New School
division of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church

in 1837, at the time of the division between the Old and New
Schools.
*'As a theologian, he was clear and thorough. As a
preacher, he was direct, instnictive, scriptural, and in the
highest sense, popular. Of no vivid fancy, he possessed the
power of vivid statement. He undentood ' the art of putting
things.' By no long, involved, and flittering sentences, did
he at once please and bewilder. His utterances were crisp
and unmistakable. The common people heard him gladly,
and the most intelligent were interested and satisfied. ' There
was in his preaching,' says Dr. Magie, long his neighbor and
intimate friend, * a sort of naturalness of tone, of style, of
delivery, which used to interest me exceedingly. It was the
simplicity of a child, yet a simplicity consistent with robust
thought. No one, pxobably, ever suspected that there was a
spice of affectation in the free, open countenance, in the clear,
impressive eye. It was impossible to doubt his deep sincerity
of soul. As he became warmed with his subject, die tender
accents and suffused eye told his hearers how mudh concerned
he felt for their welhire.' By reason of age and weakened
physical powers, he was not conspicuous in the church after the
division ; but was generally .beloved and trusted to the end."

He then became a partner in the firm of Simmons and Fisher,
organ builders, at the lower Port. March 20, 1859, he pur-
chased the Cambridge Chronicle, with offices on Main Street,
occupying the site where now stands the block containing the
Union hall, the Cambridgeport Savings Bank, and others.
The paper was in rather a weak Condition when he assumed
control of it, but it soon improved and after the first year wa.s
quite successful. From the spring of 1859 to 1866 it was the
raly newspaper in the city. In 1863 it was moved to its
present loosition, and in October, 1873, he sold it to Linn Boyd
Porter. Mr. Fisher was an editor of very decided opinions on
matters of public interest and import. He was a radical and
thoroughly consistent foe of the demon Rum , under all its multi-
tudinous names and forms. His hatred of human slavery was
quite as sincere and profound, and both these giant evils found
m the Chronicle in his day, an opponent of persistency, ability
and courage. His determined opposition to what he honestly
deemed -the perilous encroachments of the Roman Catholic
church, and his frequent and violent assaults in the columns
of the paper on everything and all officials therewith connected,
are matters of local history. Altogether his connection with
the paper was pre-eminently memorable and successful to the
time of bis final retirement therefrom. Although caring little
apparently for political honors, Mr. Fisher always felt the
interest natural to a good citizen and influential local editor,
in public a&irs, and for at least one term (1885), represented
his district in the Legislature. After leaving the Chronicle
he devoted most of his time to musical matters, in which he
always took a deep interest. He then started the Cambridge
Conservatory of Music, on Lee Street, adjoining his residence,
an institution in which he and his daughter taught music for
many years. He always had a great taste for music from child-
hood, and some of his arrangements and transcriptions of songs
and other music show great ability in that line. He was well
known as an organist in and out of Cambridge, having occupied
positioitt^ at many different churches in years past, and his
playing was always spoken very highly of. His collection of
music of various kinds was large, and contained some very
rare and valuable selections. He was one of the very earliest
members of the Handel and Haydn Society, Boston, and
was a member of its governing boaid. He organized the large
Cambridge chorus that sang at the World's Peace Jubilee.

Mr. Fisher was the happy possessor of a very sympathetic
nature, that often prompt^ him to assist those in trouble. He
had especially tender feeling for duldrenv He was a warm
personal friend of Elias Howe, the sewing machine inventor,
to whom he was especially attracted from the kct that Mr.
Fisher possessed considerable inventive ability! There was
a time when Mr. Howe was on the point of failure for the want
of sufficient capital to push his invention. Mr. Fisher went
to his friend's rescue, and furnished the necessary funds that
forced a general recognised success. Before the patent had
been issued to Mr. Howe, two suits of clothes were made on
the patent office model, which Messrs. Fisher and Howe
wore to Washington. In his later years Mr. Fisher was
separated by a handsome fortune from the struggles of life and
serenely passed his remaining years at his home, 871 Massa-
chusetts Avenue.

N. H., in 1808, and, alter residing there awhile, left and
went to Boston. Jabez got a start in business by working for
a Mr. Isaac Davenport, who lived at Canton. He took farm
produce for him to Boston, and pleased bim so much by his
business tact that Mr. Davenport set him up in business in
Boston Market./ Jabez was then 18 or 20 years old, and in
five years he settl<Ml with Mr. Davenport and had $5000, with
whidi he continued the business, and took his brothers,
Nathaniel, Charles, James and William, in copartnership as
they became of age. Charles, being single, was sent to Cin-
cinnati, O., about 1827 or 1828, to buy and pack pork, and
they finally started him in the wholesale g^rocery business,
besides packii^ pork in winter. James was sent out th^e, by
way of New Orleans, for his health, about 1829 or '30.
Charles sent him up the Miami Canal* to Hamilton, where a
lai^e merchandise and pork packing business was established.
William was a partner in this Hamilton store from 1831 to
1^35 1 when he withdrew and became a member of a company
which built the town of Lacon, 111. The company failed in
1839. Nathaniel went there soon afterwards, and on his re-
turn to Boston induced Jabez to join William in business in
Lacon, and they closed up their Hamilton, O., store in a
few years. The Lacon, 111., store did a large business, and
in 1855 they built and ran until 1868 a flour mill with a
capacity of 200 barrels per day in connection with the store.
The products of the packing establishments, before the days
of railroads, found their way to Boston by way of New
Orleans.

He was engaged for many years, in company with his
brothers, in the wholesale provision business in Boston, in
which they were very successful. In 1839 he settled on a
farm in Northboro, Mass., where he spent the rest of his life.
* ' He was to me the typical New Englander. Moral, upright,
with no knits or bad habits or vices, great or small; he had
not much consideration for the weaknesses of others. Regu-
larity was his first principle of life, and you probably could
not have set a watch amiss by his going and coming in
seventy years. Frugal, thrifty and industriotts, he was through
life intent on his own business, and not much concerned about
the affairs of any one else. Certainly none of his descendants,
thirty of whom are living, ever approached him in energy,
or capacity for hard physical labor. Prom daylight to dark,
six days in a week, and fifty-two weeks in the year, were his
working hours. Bedtime came with dark. Late sitting up
was an abhorrence; it was provided against in a practical way.
Kach person was furnished with a little, bright, pewter lamp,
which held just enough oil to bum while one could undress
and retire ; then it went out. That settled it. I remem-
ber seeing his hen-house once, which was a model of its
kind. Each hen could step up to a feed-box, which opened,
then she could feed, and, stepping off, it closed so nothing
could be wasted. At a certain hour, each hen would go upon
her nest, or failing to do so, was put on, and there shut up ;
uor could she get out till she ha^ laid an egg. ' Alfred,' said
my grandfather, showing me these things, * there is nothing
like regular habits for hens.' Like a true New Englander,
he took a pride in seeing that by late spring all the next
year's fire\i'ood was sawed and split, and neatly piled up in a
shed contiguous to the house. Pointing to this once, he
Asked my father, * Do you see anything more to .do to that
woodpile? ' ' No, nothing that I can see,' replied kther,
' unless you paint the end of those sticks.' "
He was in early life in such circumstances as to be regarded
wealthy. All his life, he liberally assisted his children
and grandchildren, and in later days met some losses. He
resided in the Stone Cottage at Northboro, until his deatli.

March 14, 1863, at White Oak Church, Va. Bennett's Story
of the First Massachusetts Light Battery speaks of him as
follows :
"One comrade who passed 'over the river' at this time
deserves more than a passing notice. John Pooler, our chief
blacksmith, a skillful mechanic, a good soldier, an upright
man, succumb^ to a fever which must have been malignant
indeed to overcome a yConatitution so strong as our comrade
possessed. We lost /a man whose place was difficult to fill ;
for, besides the constant reqtiisition upon his services for
horseshoeing and for repair of our equipments, there were
emergencies often arising in our career when very much
depended upon the artificer's genius to contrive and skill to
execute. Comrade Pooler's character compelled the respect
of officers and men. The eulogistic remarks of the venerable
chaplain of the Fifth Maine, who officiated at the funeral,
remarks which must have been inspired by our commander;
attested how thoroughly the latter appreciated the deceased."
His name and service are placed on the Memorial Hall tablet
at Canton, but his life and noble character have left an impress
on all those with whom he came in contact in the long ago,
and his works do truly follow him.

home at 13 to learn the book trade, as clerk in William
Marshall's store. Providence. Here, attending Grace Church
with the family in which he resided, he beoime personally
interested in religion, and was admitted by Bishop Griswold
to that church, then under the rectorship of Rev. John A.
Clark, now bishop of Rhode Island (1879). HLs new views
turned his thoughts to the ministry, and, assisted by friends,
he commenced study in the Franklin Academy. In 1838 he
entered Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., graduating in 1842.
While studying theology, after graduation, under Bishop
Burgess, then rector of Christ Church, he also spent much
time as lay-reader in feeble and vacant parishes in the vicinity.
He was ordained as deacon by Bishop Brownell in 1845, aud
immediately began to officiate in St. Marks, New Britain,
Conn. Afterwards he went to Cabotville, Mass., next to
Hebron aud Manchester, Conn. In 1847, June 9th, he was
ordained priest. In 1850, December 2d, he was appointed by
the bishop as missionary to gather a church in the city of
Hartford, Conn. He at first held meetings in a small and
inconvenient hall ; afterwards as the congregation increased,
in an old chapel. His labors were so prospered that a new
building was erected and dedicated in June, 1S55, called St.
Paul's Church. Around this church as his center, Mr. Fisher
labored while he lived. He was the friend of the poor and the
almoner of the gifts of the rich. The newspaper of the day,
the Hartford G/od^, said of him : ' The death of ' father '
Fisher has spread a general gloom over our community. It
is seldom that the demise of a man, however prominent or
however highly esteemed, is so universally felt. His is missed
cver>'whcre, in and out of the church, in the home and in the
street, at prayers and in society, by the rich and — oh, how
sincerely is he missed and honored by the poor.' Mr. Fisher
died 24th November, 1876, aged 57. He was stout and inclined
to corpulency. Too stout for walking, he was obliged mostly
to ride, indicating the end which came to him at last. While
rising from his l^ on the morning of his last day he said,
' how well I have slept, how well I feel ! " and suddenly fell
back on the pillow dead. During his ministry' Mr. Fisher

which was then considered about Uie end of the world, and
but little known except as Botany Bay, where the surplus of
English rascality was vanished from all sight and sounds of
civilized life. He tried various pursuits for a livdiliooil.
His chief employment, perhaps]; was- contracting for the
erection of fences on the farms and plantations of the sheep
raisers and wool growers. But after some twenty years*
residence his heart yearned for his old home, his native city,
where he now resides and bosses a department in a lar^c
silver working establishment, happy, after a long banishment
and a bachelor life, to find satisfaction in his old business

Sept. I. i8i3, and d. there, March 13, 1885. The History of
Franklin says of him : ** With a good common school educa-
tion, he began at 16, teaching district schools in Wrentham,
Franklin, Medway, Westboro, Canton and Randolph. He
prepared for college partly at Day's Academy, Wrentham,
under Isaac Perkins, and at the Medway Classical Institute,
Rev. Abijah Daker, D. D., principal ; entered Amherat Col-
lege in 1S32, but too close devotion to study compelled him
to leave college the next year and betake himself to journey-
ing for recuperation, in which he was ultimately successful in
a complete restoration. In 1835, he entered business in
Franklin on borrowed capital, removing next year to West-
boro, where he was appointed postmaster in 1838 ; removed
to Medway village in 1840, and there still resides. In
Medway, Mr. Fisher has held nearly every municipal
o£Bce ; he has been justice of the peace, and notary public
for Norfolk County, state senator in 1859 and i860,
county commissioner from 1863 to 1872, and deacon of the
village church since 1840. He has been a trader, a straw-
goods manufacturer, from 1840 to 1863, generally in partner-
ship with othera, and then established an insurance agency
for some thirty companies. He received the degree of A. M.
in 1865 from Amhexst College." For a more extended ac-

ragged in his boyhood and youth. Arriving at early man-
hood he went to Newbnrgh, Maine, and was employed with
his uncle, Col. Rufua Gilmore, who was a prominent surveyor
of land, being engaged for several years in many of the new
towns and districts in Penobscot and other counties of Maine.
The aroma of the pine and the hemlock, and the hygiene and
labor of camp life in the forests, made a comparative invalid a
stalwart man with the avoirdupois of 225 lbs. Leaving the
enq>]oyment in 1834-5 he was in Bangor in the great laud
speculation and in the dry goods trade. About 1838-9, he
engaged as express agent between Boston and New York,
for the American Express Mail Co., which was organized for
the purpose and whidi succeeded with other means in break-
ing down the old postage rates from 6^ to 25 cents to a uiii-
fonn rate of five cents. He was at length transferred as con-
ductor on various lines of railroad travel between the two
cities. While going in the early morning over the low and
swampy marshes on Long Island, he contracted malaria,
which followed him until he eventually died at Franklin from
intermittent fever, at the early age of 37 years. He was never
married ; was unwearied in his care for his sisters who were
invalids, and died but a little while previous to his own death.
He was a man of genial temperament, generous even to a
^ult, and made friends of everybody."

Prof. James Z. Kingsley, of Yale College, delivered the
following in the chapel, June 26, 1822 :
'' Of ms childhood and early youth it would be sufficient to
state that he soon discovered an aptitude for learning and a
strong desire for a public education, a disposition which his
parents very wisely determined to foster and indulge. After
completing the preparatory course of study, he entered this
seminary (Yale College) in the year 1809. Here he was
immediately distinguished . for his sobriety, his diligence, his
scrupulous attention to all the regulations of the college, and
his rapid advances in the studies of his class. So early did
his real character as a scholar unfold itself that in the very
first term of his college life he took a place among his com-
panions where he saw no superior, a station which he never
relinquished. While an undergraiduate he excelled in everv-
part of collegiate study, but was perhaps most distinguished
in the branch of pure and mixed mathematics. That he
wotdd be eminent in this department of science was then easily
foreseen if his future .situation in life should be such as to
allow him an opportunity to cultivate his favorite studies.
He received his Bachelor's degree, in the year 18 13, and
left the college with a reputation, which few at the same
period of their literary life, have attained. The two years
which followed, he spent partly in his native town in attend-
ing to moral and metaphysical science, and partly in com-
mencing a theological education at the Seminary in Andovcpr.
In the year 181 5, he was elected to the office of Tutor in this
college. In the year 18 17, he was elected Adjunct Professor

of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy iu the college, an^ in
1S19, entered upon the full duties of his office. In the time
which elapsed from his election to his new office, to his departure
for Euippe, he had examined and digested the writings of the
principal philosophers of Britain, tracing each discovery,
theory, and illustration to its source ; and had read, with the
same attention, many of the most valuable publicatidns of the
mathematicians and philosophers of France. He had, in
the same time, prepared a full course of lectures in Natural
Philosophy, both theoretical and experimental, which for
copiousness, clearness, and exact adaptation to the purposes
of instruction, equalled the highest expectations of his friends.
Having thus ifar accomplished his original design, he resolved
on an excursion to Europe, not so much for the sake of making
new acquisitions in science, — for the knowledge of European
philosophers is found in their books, — as to visit the places
of public instruction, and examine by actual inspection the
modes of communicating knowledge in the foreign univer-
sities, — to form an acquaintance with men who were dis-
tinguished in his own department, — and to obtain such
information as might enable him more fully to aid in raising
the scientific character of his country, and in promoting the
usefulness and prosperity of this college, to the interests of
which he was entirely devoted. Every preparation was made
which was thought necessary to secure the attainment of his
object, — and after. the fullest inquiries and taking the best
advice, he embarked at New York, for Liverpool, on board
the packet 'Albion,' on April ist, 1822. * When near
Kinsale (ofiF the coast of Ireland), April 22, a gale struck the
ship, carried her masts, and dashed her upon the rocks ; where,
with a single exception, all the passengers, and among them
Professor Fisher, were lost in the waves.* "
For a fuller account of his life and character, see ** £ulog>'
on Alexander Metcalf Fisher, A.M.," by James L. Kingsley,
A. M., published in New Haven, 1822, and ** Histor>' of
Franklin," by Blake, pp. 152-154. A white marble monu-
ment was erected to his memory in the Franklin Cemeter>%
fittingly inscribed, a part of which reads as follows :
** Thy grave, O Fisher, is th« rolling flood ;
Thy urn, the rock eternal reared by God !
Yet near thy home, raised by affection's hand
To speak thy name, this simple stone shall sund.
How dark the scene, till Faith directs on high
Beyond these orbs that charmed thy youthful eye ;
There now thy noble mind expanding glows
In floods of light, nor pain nor darkness knows ;
Youth, Genius, Knowledge, Virtue, pass away
From Earth's dim shores, to Heaven's eternal day."

seventeen years between X824 and X849. An excellent notice
of him says : * ' He was brother of Prof. Fisher of Yale College,
who was lost in the Albion. His parents were of the Puritaa
stamp, very particular in the ixistruction and training of their
children, and very scrupulous in regard to the careful o^serx'-
ance of the Lord's Day. Under their instructions and the
faithful preaching of Dr. Nathaniel Emmons, Mr. Fisher
eariy adopted sound moral and religious principles and
through life maintained the most sacred regard to what is
true ud righteous. In all the relations of life, as a citizen,
'husband, fatther, neighbor, and friend, he was kind and
faithful, and universally respected and esteemed. Like
his brother, he was distinguished as a mathematician, and for
several years he made the astronomical calculations for the
Christian Almanac. On all moral questions and reio^itis hi.s
example and influence were always on the right side. In ac-
cordance with his early instructions, he was vexy careful ami
conscientious in his observance of the Sabbath day, and
mourned over the departure of the present generation from tlie
custoxns and habits of our Puritan ancestors, in regard to the
keeping holy this sacred day. He was diffident and distni.stf ul
of himself in regard to his religious character and hope, and yol
he was not without hope in his last days. He depended alone
on Christ for forgiveness. He was calm, serene and patient
during a long and wasting sickness, and his survixnng relatives
and friends who mourn liLs departure, are comforted with the
assurance that he has gone to^ be with Christ, and that their
loss is his unspeakable gain. * Not only the family relatives,

He left his paternal roof while a boy and after spending a few
years in mercantile employments in Watertown and Boston,
he sought at his own expense, to complete in an humble way
an education that would be sufficient to prepare him for an
active life of usefulness and business. For this purpose he
repaired to Milton, and entered the Academy which was then
established in that place. From Milton he came, in the year
1808 to Dedham, where he spent the remainder of his upright
and honorable life, and where he met, calmly and peacefully,
the angel of death. He was for sometime employed as clerk
in the Probate Office, under the direction of Judge Haven, and
for nearly two years he officiated as clerk of the court during
the lengthened illness of Mr. Townsend, in whose office he
also wrote. He entered the Dedham Bank as clerk in 18 14.
In 1823 he was chosen cashier, which trust, after having faith-
fully and religiously kept for twenty-three years, he resigned
on the 31st ultimo, four da3rs only before he resigned his spirit
to the God who gave it.'* — From the Norfdk County American

John R. Pennizzian, a well-known painter, much of whase
time in his then old age, being *' spent in the coarser branches,
yet iziany a decorative work attested to his ability for higher
art, and his real genius. Fifty years ago, Alvan Fisher had
a studio and gallery on Washington street, near Summer.
He was the first landscape painter who hung out a professional
sign in Boston ; a znan of decided talents for art, and withal
possessed of the extraordiziary ability to make it pay. At
the age of forty-three he had by industry in landscape and
and portrait accumulated $z 3,000. This sum he invested in
eastern lands and lost the whole of it. Nothing daunted, he
again sought success and won it in the accumulation of a few
thousands, which by fortuzzate or shrewd speculation he
greatly increased till possessed of a szziall fortune. It was his
custom ozice in several years to sell by auction what he had
^ failed to part with privately. Kach of these sales, some half
half a dozen in all, netted him in cash an average of about
fifty dollars on each picture. He usually put up at each sale
less than a hundred works. Mr. Fisher had the rare faculty
of painting incidents of some sort in his landscapes. His pic-
tures were taken from a good memory and pencil sketches.

called them, not deeming it well todo the whole work al fresco,

506. Dr. John Dzx*, sixth son of Aaron (279) and Lucy
(Stedman) Fisher, was b. in Needham, March 27, 1797 ;
graduated at Brown University, A. B., 1820; later received
A. M. degree ; received the A. M. degree from Harvard ; in
1825 that of M. D.; and the honorary A. B., Middlebury
College, Vt., in x82x. He seems to have taught the Second
Middle School in Dedham, in the winter of 1818-X9. (Dedham
Historical Register, V, p. 1x9.)
** Dr. Fisher was emphatically a self-made man. That
which created him — his own good spirit— remained true to
its creation, unto the end. He laid deeply the foundations of
future eminence and usehxlness in patient, laborious study of
books, and careful record of what he saw, and of the thoughts
or views to which direct observation gave birth. He went
abroad and studied under the distinguished men of Europe
that which had most occupied him at home ; and these pro-
fessional subjects which were novel, or with which his early
pupilage and observation had made him but imperfectly ac-
quainted. He was much interested in the study of small-
pox, and gave to his profession a valuable and useful volume
on that disease. Its materials were collected in Paris. It
was printed in Boston, in X829. It treats of ' Confluent and
Inoculated Small-pox, Varioloid Disease, Cow-pox and
Chicken-pox.' This volume, of large quarto size, with plates
of the size of Ufe, exact portraits, taken in the presence of
the author, by a distinguished artist, and at the bedside of
the patients. He was one of the earliest advocates of the
establishment of the Perkins Institution for the Blind. Soearly
and so devotedly attached was he to this object, that he is con-
sidered to be its first suggestor. He was its physician and
its vice-president; and thus by peipetual personal agencies in
its service — associations with its highest interests — it was his
privilege and his happiness to mark and to minister to its steady
progress, and to witness and rejoice in its entire success. Dur-
mg Dr. Howe's absence in Europe, the entire care of the in-
stitution devolved on Dr. Fisher. His whole service was thus
faithfully devoted to its important objects, and for it Dr. Fisher
received no pecuniary compensation. It was a free-will offer-
ing of duty, and had its reward in itself. Dr. Fisher
>went to Europe and pursued his professional studies with
some of the most eminent men of the age. Among these were
Laennec, Andral and Velpeau. To the first he would seem
to have been especially devoted^ Said one of him with pe-
culiar appropriateness, 'his left hand knew not what his
right hand did.' "

'* Wliile in Paris he had frequented the Royal Institution
for the Blind, the one first established by Valentine Hauy in
1784. On his return, in 1826, he consulted with friends on
the subject of commencing a school for the blind in Boston,
but no definite action took place until Feb. xo, 1829, when a
meeting was called. After Dr. Fisher had eacplained the
methods of instructing the blind, a committee was appointed
which reported favorably. An act of incorporation was ob-
tained from the legislature, March 2, 1829, under the name
of the ' New England Asylum for the Blind.' Dr. Fisher
enlisted the co-operation of Dr. Samuel G. Howe, ' who had
just returned from the scenes of his philanthropic mission to
Greece,' and on the i8th of August, 1831, he was appointed
superintendent. In August, 1832, the work of instruction
was commenced with six blind persons." (Supplement to
Encyclopsedia Brittanica, pp. 556^57.)
Dr. Fisher introduced the stethoscope into this country.
Jan. 26, 1846, he was elected attending physician to the Mass.
General Hospital, which position he held until his death. One
who knew him well said of him : " Who that knew him does not
feel sad at his death ; and yet did not death come in kindness
to him, to draw to a cabn close a life devoted to duty, and to
bring to everlasting rest a frame long wasted by disease, and
so often exhausted by suffering ? "
In the New England \Mas^azine^ for February, Z897 (old
series, vol. XXI, pp. 673-688), will be found an appre-
ciative article, by Samuel Eliot, on "The Perkins Institu-
tion and Massachusetts School for the Blind." We extract
the following notes about Dr. Fisher :
The earliest outspoken proposal of founding a school for the
blind in the United States was in 1826. In that year a young
physician of Boston, returned from his medical studies in
Paris, resolved to make some provision for the blind at home
corresponding to that which he had seen and repeatedly exam-
ined abroad. Paris had for about forty years possessed a
school in which pupils without sight had learned almost, and
in some branches quite, as much as those with sight in the
schools, and at last a stranger came from our shores by whom
the value of the Parisian institution could be accepted, and
its fitness to serve as a model for American institutions of a
similar character could be apprehended. If such institutions
could succeed in France, there seemed no possible reason why
it should not be equally and even more successful in America.
It was a great purpose, a great hope, greater than
can be measured to-day, unl^ the Boston of that time, nay,
more, the country of that time, is clearly remembered. Pre-

cedents in this new direction .were wanting, benevolent enter-
prises were very much slower in winning support, the public
treasury was very much less easily drawn upon, while all
available resources were already straightened, or thought to
be so, in sustaining exisring charities.
Dr. Fi^er^s name appears in the Boston directory of 1828 as
that of a physician in practice, residing in his father's house
in Hayward Place. By that time he had succeeded in inter-
esting some of his fellow-townsmen in his plans ; and early in
1829 a meeting was called to take action regarding them. He
then made an address setting forth the character of the books
reqtdred by the blind, the methods of teaching and particu-
larly of manual training to be employed in their behalf. A
committee appointed to consider the establishment of an
institution reported within ten days, at an adjourned meeting
in the representatives' chamber at the State House a resolu-
tion in kvor of the entetprise; and after another address
from Dr. Fisher, and commendatory remarks from several
others, a strong committee was named to obtain an act of
incorporation, which passed the legislature without debate.
The corporation under the act met, framed its
by-laws, and in 1830 chose its first officers, Jonathan Phillips,
president, and John D. Fisher at the head of the trustees.
Nottheleast, nay, the very greatest, of Dr. Fisher's
services was the enlistment of another young physician of
Boston in his undertaking. This was Samuel O. Howe, with
whose valiant and humane labors for the independence of
Greece his feUow-Bostonians were proudly familiar.
In August (1832) the school was opened in the
Pleasant Street house of Dr. Howe's father, with six pupils.
Dr. Fisher must have been content. He was a trustee,
as has been mentioned, from 1830, and continued such for
twenty years. During a year when Dr. Howe was absent, he
took charge, and wrote the twelfth annual report, in which
'* its present condition " is described to be '* such as to carry
out in all respects the desires of its benevolent founders. ' ' He
died in 1850 ; and though the nearly half a century intervening
has blanched his memory into a shade, it is one which every
member of the school should continue to cherish.
A portrait of Dr. Fisher will be found in the number of the
New England Magamu referred to above, in connection with
the article by Mr. Eliot.

descendants was held in Z878, and from the pamphlet contain-
ing an account of that event, we take the following : '' The
family of the late Joseph Fi^er had for some years contem-
plated a re-union, to be held at the old homestead near
Chester, Vt. It was thought that if the children, grand-
children, and great*grand-children, — numbering at present
writing about sixty, — could, many or all, be brought
together for a family meeting among the grand hills . of
New England, the event would be worthy of life-long
remembrance. But the eleven children of that old-time
Vermont household, each now at the head of another
household, had become widely separated. Accordingly, after
due consideration, invitations were issued early in the spring
of Z878 for a faniily gathering to meet in Iowa in August or
September. Aug. 28, Z878, was the day, and the residence
of A. Whitcomb, Grinnell, Iowa, the place finally agreed
upo9* The appointed day found forty-one present. These
were: Lyman Fisher, wife and daughter, Etta, from the
homestead in Vermont, and his son, Herbert S., from Carroll,
Iowa ; George Fisher, wife and children, Nellie and John,
from Cairo, 111.; from Chester, Iowa, Charles Fisher, wife

555. Dr. Jambs Cogswsli,*, son of Rev. Samuel (314)
and Alice(Cogswell) Fisher, was b. in Wilton, Conn., April 6,
i8o8. He entered Yale College at the age of fourteen, and
graduated with the class of 1826. He then entered the Col-
lie of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, and
graduated from there in 1831. He m. at Paterson, N. J.,
May 9, 1831, by his father, the Rev. Samuel Fisher, D. D.,
Miss Eliza Sparks, who was b. at Philadelphia, Pa., July 16,
1813, and d. at Scranton, Pa.« Nov. x, 1887. Her father
was Major Samuel Sparks, a shipping merchant of Philadel-
phia, who served with credit in the war of 18 13, attaining the
rank of major.
Soon after this event Dr. Fisher journeyed through south-
em Michigan, when at length he fixed upon a region lying in
the county of St. Joseph, near where now stan<& the pretty
village of Centerville. Sending for his young wife, she soon
joined him, and in a rough frontier home the young couple,
inexperienced and tenderly reared, began the battle of life
together. Their life in Michigan was destined to be a brief
one. The young physician found his labors among the
widely scattered population very arduous, calling him from
his home much of the time; while his wife, although she
kept a brave face for him, suffered terribly from the unaccus-
tomed trial and privation which beset her. In the midst of
these trials the son, Samuel Sparks, was bom. But though
the little stranger brought joy to their hearts, as a gift (roni
heaven, their trials increased. Father and mother and the
infant son were seized with the chills, and at la.st, after
vainly struggling through the .summer, they were compelled
to seek aid and refuge in Detroit. Here the doctor and child
recovered, but the mother failing to mend it was thought best
to return to Uie East, and they were soon once more enjoying
the comforts of their old home.
Dr. Fisher then resumed the practice of his profession at
Saddle River, N. J. In 1836 he went to New York City, and
while there was appointed professor of chemistry and mine-
ralogy in Qie University of New York. He moved to
Buckingham County, Va., about 1839, where he had charge

of a gold mine, but after the destmction of the works by fire
he returned to New York. Then he was associated with
Prof. Morse in the construction and introduction of the electric
telegraph. Dr. Fisher always claimed that he was the first to
suggest stretching the wires on poles to avoid the great cost
of putting them in pipes underground, which at first seemed
likely to prevent the telegraph being generally used. Subse-
quently he was associated with Col. Sam'l Colt in experi-
ments in electricity applied to submarine batteries, during the
course of which he blew up some old vessels in New York
Harbor.
In 1843 he removed to Philadelphia, and two years later
took charge of the South West Grammar School, where he
remained for ten years. In 1854 he wrote a treatise on the
Mosaic account of creation, which was printed by the Academy
of Natural Sciences, and subsequently appeared in the Nartii^
American and Edinburgh Reviews. In 1855 he removed to
Dayton, Ohio, and took charge of the Cooper Female Semi-
nary there. After two years he returned to Philadelphia, and
was appointed librarian of th6 Academy c^ Natural Sciences.
He was appointed a second lieutenant' in the Fifth New
Jersey Infantry, Aug. x8, i86z, and on April 4, 1862, was
made surgeon and medical director, servix^ on the stafib of
Generals Paterson, Hooker and Banks, and having charge of
the hospital at Camp Parole, near Annapolis, Md., in the last
winter of the war, until he was mustered out, Jan. 9, 1865.
He d. Oct. X, x88o, at Washington, D. C.
But he was much more in hiinself than anything he ever did.
He had a remarkable mind, and his memory was phenome-
nal. While he lived the family never had an encyclopaedia
in the house, nor ever fdt the want of one. If they wanted
to know of anything in history, natural science, literature, or
almost any other thmg that can be learned from books or ob-
servation, he was asked, and it was very rarely that he was at
fault. He kept the run, not only of the past history of every
country in the world, but of the contemporaneous history, for
to him the afiEairs of all nations were a present interest. He
was keenly interested in scientific research and eicperiment,
and was always fully informed in regard to them. In religion,
what was once said of his son, Samuel, applied equally to
him, "he did not have opinions, he had convictions." He
was intensely patriotic, but he was a* statesman, not a politi-
cian. '* Let (right) be done though the skies fall " was the
only way in which it was possible for him to look at a subject.
It would seem that such a mind ought to have made a deep
impression on his generation, but he hated writing and had

tio gift for taming things to his own advantage. Somehow
he " dUl not have a knot on the end of his thread." He was
a man of whom other men were fond, and he had very many
warm perM»aal friends among all classes of men, from the most
distingaiahed to the poor and insignificant.

now Montdair, N. J., and was installed April 18, 1839 ; from
this he removed in 1843, to a larger and more trying field of
labor, being, installed on the 13th of October in that year as
.pastor of the Fourth Church of Albany, N. Y. The church
was probably, at that time, the largest in the whole denomi-
nation, having more than 900 names upon the roll of its com-

effective preacher may be indicated ^y the fact that, in 1846,
he was called to succeed the most popular, the most widely
known, and the most powerful preacher of the new school
body, Dr. L3rnian Beecher, in the Second Presbyterian Church,
of Cincinnati. In 1857, he was Moderator of the new school
General Assembly, which met at Cleveland, O., when the
Southern Synods withdrew and formed themselves into a
separate body. After eleven years of service in Cincinnati,
he went to Clinton, N. Y., in 1858, having been already con-
sulted respecting the presidency of Hamilton College. He
was inaugurated president of the college, July 6, 1858, and
at once entered upon the work.
In his inaugural address he set forth stnmgly the duty of
including the English Bible in the regular curriculum, con-
tending ably that a Christian education demanded the same
attention to the study of Revelation as to the works of Pagan
auUxors. This policy he maintained throughout his entire
term as president, and in his class-room gained the reputation
of an e:q>ounder of Scripture^ who *' especially attracted men
of trained minds and thoughtful habits.'* He was a trustee
of Marietta College, O. (1854-59) and for many years a
member of the A. B. C. of P. M., being selected to deliver
the jubilee diaconxse before that body.
As a preacher he was brilliant, and *' when roused by strong
emotion he would pour forth from a full mind and warm
heart a tide of eloquent speech that bore his hearers away, as
with the sweep and rush of mighty waters." In his pastoral
and executive duties he displayed an unwavering courage and
faithfulness.
After a service of eight years in Hamilton College Dr.
Fisher was solicited to accept again the position of pastor.
He was installed pastor of the Westminster Church in
Utica, N. Y., Nov. 15, 1866. Sickness caused him to send
in his resignation, Jan. 13, 1871, and he removed to*^ College
Hill, near Cincinnati, O., where he died on the x8th of January,
1874. He was the author of "* The Three Great Temptations
of Young Men;" 8vo., pp. 336, Cincinnati, 1852. And of

ter's trade, which he followed for a time. In 1862 he en-
listed in defence of the Union, becoming a member of Com-
pany K, Forty-fourth Mass. Vol. Infantry, and was stationed
during the larger part of his nine months' term of enlist-
ment at Newbem, N. C. He fought in the engagements at
Kingston, N. C, and at Whitehall, after which he returned
home. In the summer of 1863, Mr. Fisher resumed carpen-
tering, but a year later gave it up to re-enlist July 18, 1864,
joining Company K, Forty-second Mass. Vol. Infantry, which
was stationed at Alexandria, Va., on garrison duty, until the

returning to Walpole he spent a year recuperating, his health
having become sadly impaired from exposure and hardships.

Norwood, and he carried on the milk business for eighteen
years in conjunction with farming. Mr. Fisher now devotes

his labors as pastor of the Universalist Church at Norwood,
Mass. The five years of his pastorate were periods of special
enterprise and prosperity. Mr. Fisher resigned his charge to
accept a professorship in the Canton Theolc^cal Seminary."
** April 15, 1858, he was inaugurated professor and head of
the Theological Seminary at Canton, N. Y. During his con-
nection of twenty-one years with that institution he had seen
more than one hundred students, whose minds he had in a
great measure moulded and fashioned, settled in the Univer-
salist pulpit in our land." He began work April i8th as the
first president and professor of the seminary, and continued
there until his death. On Feb. 21, 1879, while on his way to
his recitation rooms in the seminary, he suddenly died,
" He was a majestic man ; a strong man in every sense of
the word — mentally and physically; in all things sincere,
truthful and honest. He was very devout, believing in God
' with heart as well as understanding. Had few equals as a
logician. As a critic he was beyond all others ; this was his
specialty as a teacher. As a speiker he was sure to carry his
point and to carry his hearers with it. He was a student of
style." His best published essay, according to Rev. George
Emerson, D. D., was an article with that title. *' His writings
were vtvadous, bright, pungent. He revelled in tropes. He
was a humorist ; his clmcal dignity, though, was sever com-
promised, although at times fulU of fun. He was a strong
temperance and anti-slavery man. ' * His writings appeared in
the " Universalbt Quarterly" from 1849 to 1876, inclusive,
and in the "Trumpet" from November, 1849, to October,
1857.
The degree of D. D., was conferred on him by Lombard
University, Galesburg, 111., in June, 1863. In 1869 Dr.
Fisher was invited to a professorship in Tufts College, but he
did not accept. He joined Essex Lodge of Freemasons, at
Salem, Mass., Sept. 8, 1848. He was a member of the local
board of the Potsdam (N. Y.) Normal School. For an ex-
tended' account of Dr. Fisher see a memoir by Dr. George

684.' Ann M. B.*, daughter of Jabez (354) and Susanna
(SUme) Fisher, was b. at Boston, Dec. 22, 1825 ; m. there,
Junes, 1848, John Hubbard Tweedy, who was b. at Danbury,
Conn., Nov. 9, 18x4, and d. at Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 12,
1891. He was one of the pioneer settlers of Milwaukee, and
one of its most prominent citizens. No man enjoyed greater
respect in the community where he lived, and none more de-
served it. Mr. Tweedy became a resident of Milwaukee
when it was a mere settlement in the western wilderness fifty-
eight years ago. From a population of a few hundreds he
hu seen it grow to a city of 225,000 inhabitants. All the
years of his active manhood were spent there, and none of its
citizens probably have contributed more to give character to
the city and state than he. Unlike most of the early settlers,
he was a man of trained education, a graduate of Yale, and
throughout his life a reader and a lover of what was best in
literature. He was also distinguished for his unscliish in-
terest in public a&irs, and rendered both the state and the
city valuable services in giving shape and directicm to their re-
spective policies and development. It is said to have been
one of. his peculiarities as a lawyer that he would not take a
case unless he believed himself on the right side, and then he
became absorbed in it. As a member of the territorial legis-
lature, of the first constitutional convention, and a delegate
to congress in those early days, he discharged his duty with
eminent ability. While yet a young man, in consequence of
delicate health, he withdrew from active participation in pub-
lic and professional life, but maintained a lively interest in
public a!nairs up to the period of his last illness. Although
he had reached an advanced age, Mr. Tweedy never seemed
like an old man. He preserved a youthful spirit, he kept in
sympathy with his time, and liked the society of the young.
He was a man of the most scrupulous sense of justice and
honor, and those who knew him best were most impressed
with the nobility of his character. Those who remembered
him in his active prime can bear testimony to his rare gifts as
a public speaker. He had the oratorical temperament, the
personal magnetism that thrills and sways an audience, and
he always addressed himself to the higher and better nature
of his hearers. There was a courtesy and dignity in his man-
ner that fixed attention, and won confidence. He *' had no
arts but manly arts " and no man could have died in this
community whose loss will be more sincerely felt by the peo-
ple who knew him well. Their children, b. in Milwaukee,

congregation at Paddy's Run» in Butler County, O., and in

slave, and in this as in similar public controversies he showed
an ardent and active interest, coupled with a learning and
skill seldom excelled in a public controversy. He accepted
the presidency of Hanover College, near Madison, Ind., in
1849, and in 1854 resigned that to accept the chair of biblical
literature and exegesis in the Theological Seminary at New
Albany, Ind. Upon the removal of the seminary to Chicago,
three years later, Profs. E. D. McMaster and Thomas E.
Thomas were laid aside, avowedly because of their anti*^
slavery views, through the influence of the dominant South* '
em sentiment in the General Assembly of 1859. For about a
year he remained as stated supply to tiie Bank Street Presby-
terian Church, in New Albany, when he was called to be
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Dajrton, Ohio, and
removed to it in April, 1858. Here he continued as pastor,
until, in 1 87 1, he accepted the professorship of New Testa-
ment exegesis in Lane Theoh^^l Seminary, at Walnut
Hills, Cincinnati, where he remained nearly four years. He
died of pleuro-pneumonia on Feb. 2, 1875, at the age of
sixty-two.
'\ Dr. Thomas was a remarkable man, one of the ablest if
not the ablest in his denomination in this country. He was
not only a man of profound erudition, learned in ckssical lore,
but his mind was enriched with vast stores of general informa-
tion upon subjects that interest the eminent of mankind.
Besides, he had an extraordinary power in the application of
his knowledge, whether in the pulpit or in the world of
scholarly men." *' Dr. Thomas never took the conspicuous
position ill our church to which his learning and great ability
entitled him. He certainly never thrust himself forward,
never sought wide attention, but the habit of his life was in
harmony with the marked feature of his mind — intellectual
restraint." [See also sketch of Dr. Thomas in McClintock
and Strong's Cyclopaedia of Biblical and Eccles. and Theol.
Literature, in which the only errors are that his name is
given as Ebenezer Thomas instead of Thomas E. Thomas, and
he was a D.D. but not a LL.D.] His widow resides at

mo8t of which joumftls have had a successful existence for
many years. About five years ago he became connected with
the house of S. B. Gross, dealing extensively in real estate
in Chicago and suburbs. Mr. Fisher is a member of the
Illinois Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution. He
numbers among his direct lineal forbears forty-two ancestors
who fought in tlie Indian and French wars in America, prior
to the revolution, five of whom were killed by the Indians in
King Philip's war in 1675. Among his colonial ancestors
were Captam Miles Morgan, the celebrated Indian fighter,
and Deacon Samuel Chapin, the founder of Springfield,
Mass., wlu)se bronze monuments are prominent features in
the public parks of Springfield. Two of his great-grand-
faithers saw long and arduous service in the Revolution. In
his leisure hours he has written poetry, magazine sketches,
and short stories. His bent is very strongly in the direction
of national themes,— one of his poems, entitled *' Yorktown,"
was read at the banquet of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion at the Chicago Athletic Club, Oct. 19, 1S96, the iisth
anniversary of the surrender of Comwallis at Yorktown, and
which elicited the most flattering comments at the time. The
song of ^^ Libertas el Palria'' has been adopted in the
schools of Chicago as one of the national airs.
Mr. Fisher married at Chicago, July 12, 1893, Ada, daugh-
ter of George and Abbie J. (Tallmon) Aishard, both of New
York. On her maternal side she is descended from tlie Town-
leys and Lawrences ; on her patenml side is of Krench de-
scent.

Egypt. While in England he made some research for the
home of the early emigrants of the Fisher family, and going
to Syleham in County Suffolk, discovered the material which
we have placed in the first chapters of this book. The news
of the firing on Fort Sumter reached them when the}** were in
Seville, Spain, and they immediately came back to America.
Col. Fisher set to work to prepare himself for the staff service,
and obtaining the higher military education needed for it.
He entered the Army of the Ohio, Feb. 14, 1862, with the
rank of first lieutenant, acting as volunteer aide-de-camp on
the staff of Gen. William Nelson, and participated in the occu-
pation of Nashville, Feb. 26, and the battles of Pittsburg
Landing, April 6, and Shiloh, April 7, and also at the
siege of Corinth, May 8 to 29. May 18, 1862, he received
the rank of captain, A. D. C, staff of Maj.-Gen. A.
McD. McCook, which rank he held until May 7, 1863.
While still acting as a volunteer, without pay, he was made
chief ex^neer of the Second Division, Amy of die Ohio,
Sept. 20, 1863, and topographical engineer of the right wing,
Anny of the Cumberland, Dec. 25, 1862. He became fiiit
lieutenant of the First Middle Tenn. Cavalry, May 7, 1863,
to qualify for promotion as inspector-general, 20th Army
Corps. After the battle of Stone River, he was promoted to
be inspector-general, with the tank of lieutenant-colonel, and
assistant-inspector-general of U. S. Volunteers, May 21, 1863,
onstkffof Maj.-Gen. McCook. Afterthe battle of Chickamauga,
he became acting -inspector -general of the Army of the
Cumberland, oh staffs successively of General Rosectans and
General George H. Thomas. During the Chickamauga cam-
paign, while in the discharge of his duty, he received a severe
injury, which entirely disabled him, and obliged him to re-
turn home, and after some delay, he was forced to resign his
commission, Nov. xo, 1863.
He remained at home for some months, in very feeble
health, and in 1864, sailed for Buenos Ayres. He traveled ex-
tensively in South America, and after some months returned
home, much improved in health. He has since been in busi-
ness in Boston, and resided in Charlestown and Brookline.
In 1876, he was made consul of Chili, in Boston, by that
government, in recognition for some public sendee rendered
it, which position he has held ever since. Their children :

He was a fine Hebrew and Greek scholar. He went to North
China as missionary under the Presbyterian Board, in 1870.
After a lew years he gave up his connection with the Board,
and devoted himseli to philanthropic work. During several
winters he had a winter refuge for the poor in Pekin; he
provided them with food, and buried them at his own ex-
pense. The officials had implicit confidence in him and
permitted him to visit all the prisons and charitable institu-
tions. He was known by the Chinese as the '* Christian
Buddha," and it was said that he had more influence with
the Chinese than any other missionary. At the time of his
death he was called another Father I>Eimien, because of his
self-abnegation and devotion to the outcasts and poverty-
stricken.

He was gradually promoted until, in 1885, he was made
cashier. In that capacity he served the bank until his death,
besides really discharging the duties of President for Vice-
President Kilgore, the nominal executive. His tall form of
dignified demeanor axid his white hair and beard made him a
striking figure on the street until age began to tell upon him,

High School where he stood a^t the head, and from which he
graduated, Feb. 13, 1851, delivering the honorary address.
Then he studied law in the office of Francis Wharton, an
eminent lawyer of Philadelphia, and was also appointed
Assistant Professor in the High School, where he remained
for about a year, when he assumed the charge of a private
school, in which he passed two very pleasant years. During
this time he had continued the study of the law with Mr.
Wharton. In 1854, he went to Cincinnati, where he con-
tinued the study of kw in the office of Taft, Keyes 8l Perry,
until his admission to the bar. He married Miss Aurelia
Safford Croasette, a grandchild of his grandunde, Oct. 2,
1856, in the beautiful home in Morris County, N. J., formerly
occupied by Governor Dickinson, of that State, but at that
time by the father of the bride, the ceremony being performed
by her father, Rev. Robert Crossette.

practice of patent law, for which he possessed rare finalities,
and his offices were soon thronged with clients ; while many
manufacturing and other corporations secured his services in
defence of their respective interests. His thorough knowledge
of chemistry and pectUiar aptitude for mechanics enabled him
to grasp almost intuitively, and to comprehend fully, the
princq)le of any invention to which his attention was called.
As a lawyer, he was learned and acute; as a
counsellor, he was fearlesis and conscientious, giving his client
his truthful opinion, whether favorable or adverse; as an
antagonist, he was wary, but always courteous and honora-
ble, and as an advocate, he had few equals at the bar; while
his thorough familiarity with every detail of law and fact in
his cases, the clear and confident manner in which they were
presented, the facility with which the most intricate questions
were unfolded, and the profuseness and aptness of the illustra-
tions with which his arguments were enriched, gave him a wide
and commanding reputation. . . . He was appointed to the
Colonelcy of the 138th Regiment, Ohio National Guards,
which was called into^ service on May 2, 1864, and mus-
tered into the United States service on the 14th of May, at
Camp Dennison. It was employed at the defenses south of
the Potomac, at Forts Craig, Albany and Tillinghast. On
June 16, they embarked for Bermuda Hundred, where after a
month of active service they were ordered to Cherrystone
Inlet, on the eastern shore of Virginia. They were finally
mustered out at Camp Dennison on Sept. xst, at the expira-
tion of service."
*' He was invited by Governor J. D. Cox, President Grant's .
first Secretary of the Interior, to accept the position of Com*
missioner of Patents. On Secretary Cox's retirement he
sought a release, but, at the urgent solicitation of the Presi-
dent, he remained some time longer, when his resignation
was accepted, and he returned to practice in Cincinnati. He
entered into partnership with Gen. Samuel A. Duncan, who
had been for some time Assistant Commissioner of Patents, in
June, 1872, the latter taking charge of the branch office in
New York City. The summers of 1872, and 1873 he spent in
Europe, and in 1874, on the xst of August, Mr. Fisher and
the favorite son, Robbie, were to go in a canoe from Elmira, N.
Y. , to Havre de Grace, and on by the Delaware to Philadelphia.
They had had a galvanized iron canoe constructed in Cleve-
land, O., safely and lightly constructed, and had set off from
Elmira. They reached Scranton, where they stayed over
Sunday at his brother's. On Monday morning they resumed
their journey, accompanied by Mr. James Fisher, who re-

mained with them until noon on Wednesday. They stayed
over a day at Harrisburg, Pa. Fifteen miles below, at the
most dangerous place on the Susquehanna river, they had no
warning of Conewago Falls at Middletown, and diverted
somehow from the canal which skirts the rapids, their cauoe
was carried over and they were drowned. That afternoon
the articles from the canoe were picked up below, and a
thorough search revealed the bodies lodged among the rocks
on the foUowinp^ Sunday and Monday. The remains were
interred in Spnng Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati." In 1870
and 187X, he was president of the Cincinnati Y. M. C. A.,
and was subsequently a member of its Board of Directors.

have quickly won success as a teacher, or made a career in
the world of literature. She was truly womanly in her
domestic duties, and entered heartily and happily her new
home life, which was to continue for seven years. For more
than two years she struggled consciously and heroically to
triumph over disease. Her trip to Asheville, N. C. ; her
submission there to the severe requirements of experts in the
treatment of tuberculosis ; her return to her home and to the
care of her physician, who brought to her aid all that modem
science could furnish, all took on a pathetic interest when

for her hmoe ud her loved ones. The supreme spiritual
victory of her life came with the surrender of the hope of
recovery.

of God. She took her place and bore well her part in church
work; she. attended and assisted constantly in the social
means of grace. She was a teacher in the Sunday school from
