In 1753 he married Anna Barbara Heiler (1726-1791), widow of Matthais Reis, and moved with her to York PA shortly thereafter. They moved to North Carolina about 1774, and lived in the Friedberg community. Melchior died in 1797 (cemetery record) or 1798 (Moravian Archives card file); both he and Anna Barbara are buried at Friedberg Moravian Church.<P> <HR> <H4>Second Generation</H4> Children of Melchior Fischer and Anna Barbara Heiler<BR> Anna Barbara Fischer (1754-1844) m. <A HREF="volz.html">Johannes Volz</A> (1755-1821)<BR> George Fischer (1757-1832) m. <A HREF="greter.html">Elisabeth Greter</A> (1759-1804), widow of <A HREF="vogler.html">Lorenz Vogler</A> (1752-1779)<BR> Catherine Fischer (1760-?) m. <A HREF="hartman.html">Johannes Hartman</A> (1757-1822)<BR> Anna Maria Fischer (1764-?) m. <A HREF="volz.html">Friedrich Volz</A> (1759-1821?)<BR> Eva Fischer (1767-1844) m. <A HREF="hege.html">Lazarus Johannes Hege</A> (1766-1817)<BR> Anna Elizabeth Fischer (1769-ca. 1842) m. <A HREF="hartman.html">Jacob Hartman</A> (1768-1844)<P> There should be seven children altogether.

Absher. Elizabeth is named as the wife of Samuel "Halford (?)" and Hannah is named as the wife of "Barney Gamble". We believe that these men are really Samuel Jacob Wohlfahrt and Barnabas Kimel, respectively. <P> <HR> <H4>Fourth Generation</H4> Children of John Fischer and Tabitha Baxter<BR> Elizabeth Fischer (1822-?)<P> The Moravian Archives card file says that John and Tabitha had 10 children.

This suggests that Louisa and Caroline may have died before that date. Addie May doesn't appear in census records from 1860-1880. We therefore believe that she is Sarah's daughter, and born after 1880.<P> A Miss Caroline Fisher died of consumption in 1880 (People's Press). This presumably is the Caroline T. Fisher listed in the Forsyth Co. cemetery records with dates 1816-1880. Could this be Jefferson's daughter Caroline, with an error in the birthdate?<P> <HR> Other Fischers and Fishers<P> Can anyone help us identify the following?<P> Caspar Fischer (b. 1720-aft. 1775) m. <A HREF="binkley.html">Christina Binckele</A> in Maryland in 1757, and moved to NC by 1775.
