THOMAS FISHER, of Winston, Suffolk County, England, was the first man of this name who came to New England in the great Puritan immigration of 1630. He, with his wife Elizabeth, and their children, Samuel, Thomas, and Con- stance, settled in Cambridge, in 1634, and removed to Dedham in 1637. In that year ten more of the same name came to Dedham from Syleham, and in 1640 two more, making seventeen immigrants of the same kindred. The English ancestor of those who came in 1637 and 1640 was Anthony Fisher; This family group consisted of Anthony, Jr., wife Mary, children, Anthony. Cornelius, Nathaniel, Daniel, and Lydia. With them came two nephews of An- thony, sons of Amos, named John and Daniel, and another nephew, Joshua, son of Joshua, who, with his second wife, Mary Luson, joined their son Joshua and their other kinsfolk at Dedham in 1640. These twelve men and five women soon gave their name to a large posterity which gradually, and quite early, spread through the county, especially THE FISHER COAT OF ARMS. in Dedham, Wrentham, Franklin, and Medfield. Nearly all who bear the name in the Northern, Eastern, and Western States, trace their ancestry to those seventeen pioneers in Dedham, Mass.
There were a few persons who bore the name of Fisher in the early settlements at Jamestown, Va., and in Pennsylvania. Some of the latter were Quakers.
The English coat of arms of this family appears to be the same with the Dauphin of France, but how the coincidence happened is not known. The name being that of a common employment, is found in nearly all nations. In German it is Fischer, in French it is Pecheur. The German name is common in New York and in Brooklyn, N. Y. Vid. The History of Franklin, Mass.
The Fisher coat of arms, doubtless of French origin, used in this country by Joshua Fisher, Sen., of Medfield, and Capt. Ebenezer Fisher, of Dedham, is the same as is described in The History of Norfolk County, England, with notices of Richard and Edward Fisher " Gentlemen," "Richard Fisher, Chaplain 1442, John Fyshere, 1449, burgess of Thetford, the Rev. William Fisher, a Public Benefactor," and of Mrs. Mary Fisher, "who died and went to Heaven in a hurricane."
Joseph Fisher married Susa Fisher, daughter of the Hon. Jabez Fisher, of Frank- lin, Mass. Their son, Willis Fisher, married Caroline Fairbanks, of Franklin, Mass. These were the parents of the Hon. M. M. Fisher, of Medway. among whose ancestry are the names of Fairbanks, Metcalf, Haven. Coburn, Adams. Ellis, Snow, Heaton, Faxon, and Fiske. In England the Fishers intermarried with the Briggs, Bucking- ham, and Locke families. The celebrated John Locke was of this kindred.
