JAMES HENRY FISHER
The Revolutionary descent of James H. Fisher is from Lieutenant Jonathan Fisher who served from Massachusetts. This branch of the family dates back in America to the year 1637 when Anthony Fisher (2), son of Anthony Fisher (1), landed in New England from the ship "Rose," and settled in Dedham, Massachusetts. He was baptized in Syleham, England, in the month of April 1591. Anthony Fisher was of the parish of Syleham, County Suffolk, England, where he lived on the south bank of the Waveny river, which separates Suf- folk from Norfolk county, on a freehold estate called "Wignotte." Anthony Fisher (2) was one of the original lot owners and subscribed to the Dedham "Covenant," July 18, 1637. A part of his lot holdings in the town of Dedham, is still owned by his descendants. He served in the French and Indian War, of 1652, with the rank of lieutenant. He was a member of the Dedham Church, but according to the records of that church, was not "comfortably received into the church until March 1645, on account of his proud and haughty spirit." He was made a freeman in May, 1645; was chosen selectman in 1646 and 1647, county commissioner, September 3, 1660, and elected a deputy of the General Court, May 2, 1649. March 5, 1666, he was chosen commissioner and in De- cember 1671, was again elected selectman. According to the town records of Dedham of that period we find that "In Anthony Fisher we find an English- man of strong positive points of character, with liberal means for the times and favorable considerations by his fellow settlers, as a citizen." His wife was Isabel, widow of Edward Beck, of Dorchester, and their children were all prob- ably born in England.
ANTHONY FISHER, son of Anthony, was born in England and was part of the family emigration to Massachusetts in the year 1637. He died July 13, 1670. He was made a freeman, May 6, 1646, joined the Dedham Church, July 20, 1645, was chosen surveyor of Dedham in 1652, and served two years. He re- moved to Dorchester where he was a selectman in 1664. In 1644 he was made a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston. He was prominent in the public affairs of Dedham and Dorchester, and in the im- provement of lands at Wollomonopoog. Anthony Fisher (3) married, in Ded- ham, September 7, 1647, Johanna Faxim. They had issue :-
JOSIAH FISHER, son of Anthony and Johanna (Faxin) Fisher, was born in Dedham, Massachusetts, May 11, 1654. and died there April 12, 1736. He was made a freeman in 1683, selectman in 1697, and representative to the General Court in 1699. He married, November 27, 1679, Mehitable Bullen or Butting and had issue :-
JOSIAHI FISHER, son of Josiah and Mehitable (Bullen) Fisher, was born at Dedham, November 25, 1683, and died February 24, 1763. He was a captain of militia and selectman of Dedham, 1736-37-38-39-40-42 and 43. He married at Dedham, September 25, 1707, Elizabeth Avery, daughter of Deacon William
753
FISHER
and Elizabeth (White) Avery. She was born in Dedham May 16, 1684, and died there August 7, 1747. They had issue :-
JONATHAN FISHER, son of Josiah and Elizabeth (Avery) Fisher, was born in Dedham, August 5, 1743. He was the administrator of his father's estate and in settling the estate, sold the old Dedham family homestead. He removed to New Braintree and settled in that part of the town now included in West Hampton, where he died, October 23, 1796. Abner Smith, the first settler of West Hampton built his second house near the Fisher home, which he sold to Jonathan Fisher about 1770. This property still remains (1909) in the Fisher family, descending from Jonathan to Aaron, from Aaron to Jarius the present owner. He married, December 21, 1737, Mary Richards, and had issue.
JONATHAN FISHER, son of Jonathan and Mary (Richards) Fisher, was born in Dedham, Massachusetts, November 25, 1743, and died in camp at Mor- ristown, New Jersey, while in the service of his country, March 10, 1777. He was dismissed from the church at Dedham to the church at New Braintree, June 8, 1776. He was a commissioned officer of the Colonial Army before the Revolution but in 1775 resigned. He enlisted in the army under General Wash- ington in 1776. He was commissioned second lieutenant of the Fifth Com- pany, Second Regiment, Massachusetts militia, April 5, 1776. Captain Jonathan Wales, Major John Chester Williams, Colonel Seth Pomeroy were his com- manding officers. His lieutenant's commission is in possession of Mrs. Eve- lyn Foster Fisher, widow of Rev. James Boorman Fisher of New Paltz, Ulster county, New York. He served in the army continuously and shared all its mis- fortunes until the winter in Morristown, New Jersey. During that period of suffering and privation he contracted a fever from which he died at Morris- town, March 10, 1777. He was a man described as "greatly beloved and re- spected by his companions for his uprightness of character and the Christian manliness of his life." Lieutenant Jonathan Fisher married, at Dedham, Octo- ber 2, 1766, Catherine Avery, eldest daughter of Deacon William and Bethia (Metcalf) Avery of Dedham. She was a sister of Rev. Josiah Avery, the well known Congregational minister of Holden, Massachusetts. She was a most remarkable woman. She was left a widow, young in life, with six young children (the eldest not ten). She reared this family and those who arrived to maturity became noted in New England annals. One of the sons was Rev. Jonathan Fisher the elder. He excelled in everything he undertook. He wrote a book on the "Birds and Animals of New England", illustrating it himself. He was a surveyor, and ran the town lines of Blue Hill and other towns. He was a minister of the Gospel and an excellent Hebrew scholar. He manufac- tured and mixed the colors with which to paint his houses and barns. He was a graduate of Harvard College, class of 1792, and was licensed to preach in Brookline, Massachusetts. He became pastor of the Blue Hill, Maine, Congre- gational church, July 13, 1796. We quote from a beautiful story of this town of Blue Hill, entitled "A Down East Village and Memorable Pastorate", the description of Rev. Fisher :
"It would be instructive to know how much of the quiet and good order, is the result of the faithful, prolonged ministry, of their first pastor, the Rev. Jonathan Fisher, who came into the place when it was a wilderness, in 1793, and for forty-one years, was settled over the parish and whom the venerable Doctor Bond pronounced, the 'most remarkable
754
FISHER
man he ever knew.' He was an author, an artist and a poet, and he was one of the founders and builders of the Bangor Theological Seminary. He is spoken of as a remarkable man, a good farmer, a carpenter, a clockmaker, a portrait painter, a wood engraver, a poet, and well versed in Hebrew. He wrote three thousand sermons, was an early riser, a great walker, a faithful Christian. Under him the town became noted for industry, good morals and religious principles. When preaching at a salary of two hundred dollars a year and certain wood, etc., in all not amounting to more than three hundred dollars, he brought up a family of seven children, sent his daughter to boarding school, gave one son, Rev. Josiah Fisher of Princeton, New Jersey, 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 three thousand sermons."
REV. SAMUEL FISHER D. D., second son of Lieutenant Jonathan and Cath- erine (Avery) Fisher, was born about the year 1770, at New Braintree, Massa- chusetts. He was graduated at Williams College in the year 1799, and was licensed to preach by the Berkshire Session of the Presbyterian Church, October 3, 1804. His first pastorate was at Wilton, Connecticut, where he was ordained October 31, 1804. In 1809 he was sent by the General Assembly of Connecti- cut, to represent that body in the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was next, pastor of the church at Morris- town, New Jersey, and then was settled over the congregation of the First Presbyterian church at Paterson, New Jersey. The degree of D. D. was con- ferred upon him by the College of New Jersey (Princeton) in the year 1827, for his "piety, deep learning and valuable services to his church." 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. He was a learned theologian and an eloquent pulpit orator. Rev. Samuel Fisher married, August 22, 1805, Alice Cogswell, only child of Dr. James and Elizabeth (Davenport) Cogswell, of Preston, Connecticut. Her mother, Elizabeth Davenport, was the daughter of John Davenport the "Dark Day" man, celebrated in Whittier's poem of John Davenport. Dr. Cogswell, her father, was a son of Rev. James and Alice Cogswell, of Windham, Connecticut, and the brother of Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell, the founder of the Hartford Asylum for Deaf Mutes. Dr. Cogswell was a prominent Revolutionary patriot of Connec- ticut and rendered valuable service. Rev. Samuel Fisher and his wife Alice Cogswell, were the parents of sons Samuel Ware and James Cogswell Fisher. The elder, Samuel Ware Fisher, became president of Hamilton College, Ohio, and was one of the committee of reunion, appointed at St. Louis, in 1870, to bring about the union of the old and new school branches of the Presbyterian Church. He was also moderator of the General Assembly of the church, which Inet at Cleveland, Ohio, when the Southern Synod withdrew and formed them- selves into a separate body. The Fisher family is one of eight or nine families in the United States who have had the honor of furnishing two moderators of the Presbyterian General Assembly.
DR. JAMES COGSWELL FISHER, youngest of the two sons of Rev. Samuel and Elizabeth (Cogswell) Fisher, was born in Wilton, Connecticut, April 6, 1808. He entered Yale at the age of fourteen and was graduated with the class of 1826. He entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, and was graduated from there in the year 1831. In 1836 Dr. Fisher was ap- pointed to the chair of chemistry and mineralogy in the University of New York. He was associated with Prof. S. B. Morse in the construction and intro- duction of the electric telegraph. Dr. Fisher always claimed that he was the
755
FISHER
first to suggest stretching the wires on poles to avoid the great cost of pulling them in pipes underground, which seemed at first likely to prevent the telegraph coming into general use. Subsequently he was associated with Colonel Samuel Colt in experiments in electricity applied to submarine purposes, during the course of which he blew up several old vessels in New York Harbor. At the outbreak of the Civil War he offered his services and was appointed surgeon of the regiment of Fifth New Jersey Volunteers, and afterwards brigade surgeon of the Second New Jersey Brigade. Upon the abolishment of the rank of bri- gade surgeon, he was appointed medical director of Heintzelman's division of Sumner's Corps and served on the staff of Generals Patterson and Hooker. He was appointed medical inspector of the Veteran Reserve Corps, Department of the Gulf, and served with General Banks on his Red River expedition. He was surgeon in charge at Springville Landing, below Port Hudson, before and at the time of the surrender and all the wounded of both armies, passed under his supervision. He was subsequently surgeon in charge of Camp Parole at An- napolis, Maryland, during the time of the exchange of the ten thousand prison- ers, from Southern prisons about the time the war was closing. He was hon- orably mustered out of service, January 9, 1865, with the rank of lieutenant- colonel. Dr. Fisher had a remarkable mind and his memory was phenomenal. He was called the "Walking Encyclopedia," by his friends. He attended the fif- teenth reunion of his class at Yale in 1876, dying five years later in 1881, and is buried in the family plot at Woodlands Cemetery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Fisher was like his ancestors a faithful member and ruling elder of the Presbyterian church. Doctor James C. Fisher married, at Paterson, New Jer- sey, May 9, 1831, Eliza Sparks, daughter of Major Samuel Sparks, a shipping merchant of Philadelphia, and a veteran of the War of 1812, in which he reached the rank of major. Dr. and Mrs. James C. Fisher were the parents of several children, among them being Samuel S. and James H. Fisher. Samuel S., the eldest son, studied law under Judge Taft, (father of President Taft), of Cin- cinnati, Ohio, and became a lawyer of national reputation. He was colonel of the One Hundred and Twenty-Eighth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and commis- sioner of patents, appointed by President U. S. Grant. He served for eighteen months, when he resigned in August, 1874. While boating on the Susquehanna river with his son Robert, their canoe capsized at the Falls of the Connewago below Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Colonel Fisher was drowned. A daughter of Dr. James S. Fisher, Alice Cogswell Fisher, resides in Washington, D. C. She is the fourth Alice Cogswell in the Fisher family, named from Alice Cogs- well, a deaf mute, who was educated and taught to speak by Prof. E. M. Gal- laudet. A monument that records the fact stands in Washington, D. C.
JAMES HENRY FISHER, sixth son of Dr. James C. and Eliza (Sparks) Fisher, was born at 1313 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 2, 1845. His early education was obtained in the public schools of Philadelphia and he prepared for Princeton College at Burlington, New Jersey, under Professor Gummere. He graduated from Princeton, class of 1867. His profession is that of civil engineer and surveyor. He located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he was for thirteen years surveyor of the real estate department of the Delaware & Hudson Company. At present his duties are largely the purchase of rights of way for different corporations, the preparation of important mining and land

FISHER
cases for trial, and the abstracting of titles. Mr. Fisher preserves the versatil- ity as well as the tastes and talents of his ancestry. He is a Presbyterian in religion and a Republican in politics. He has been city editor of the Scranton Republican and secretary of the Board of Trade. He is a member of the Princeton Alumni Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Secretary of the New England Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania, secretary of the Lacka- wanna Institute of History and Science, member of the Scranton Engineers' Club, The Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, Sons of the Revolution, member of the Loyal Legion, member of the Society of the War of 1812, The Scranton Club, the Westmoreland Club of Wilkes-Barre, and Sigma Chapter of the College fraternity Chi Phi. He married, at Scranton, August 24, 1899, Alice Marie Falkenburg, widow of Wallace J. Falkenburg. She is the daugh- ter of De Wayne Norton, of Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, and his wife Hannah Annis Church. This remarkable family record shows veterans in every war this country ever waged against a foreign foe, from Anthony the emigrant, who was a lieutenant in the French and Indian War of 1652. It shows men and women of more than ordinary prominence in every generation. In the profes- sions, there have been noted names in each generation, ministers, lawyers, phy- sicians and professors of learning. By intermarriage they are connected with many lines of the best Colonial and Revolutionary blood of New England. The two generations in Pennsylvania have fully sustained the family name and it is a matter of public regret, that Samuel S. Fisher met his untimely accidental death, so early in life.
LEVI ELLMAKER WALLER
The Revolutionary ancestors of Levi E. Waller, of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsyl- vania, served from the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. His great-grandfather, Nathan Waller, was in a Connecticut regiment. Dr. David H. Jewett, father of Elizabeth Jewett, his grandmother, was field and staff surgeon with both Massachusetts and Connecticut regiments. His maternal great-grand- parents were Hon. John Hopkins, of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, a lieuten- ant under Colonel David Watson, and the Hon. Nathaniel Ellmaker, also of Lancaster county, who served with the company commanded by Captain Mc- Cormick and both were Pennsylvania senators. The Waller family name is first of record in New England in 1632.
JOSEPH WALLER, of Boston, Massachusetts, removed about 1669 to Fair- field, Connecticut, where a daughter Lydia was born, and where he died in 1672.
JOSEPH, only son of Joseph Waller, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, Feb- ruary 3, 1669. He married and reared a family of five sons and seven daugh- ters, and was a large land owner. He was in 1719 one of the original proprie- tors and a resident of Litchfield, Connecticut, celebrated among other things as being the home of the Miss Pierce School for Girls, and of Judge Reeves' law school, the first schools of their kind in the new world. Of his twelve chil- dren Phineas was the youngest son.
PHINEAS WALLER, son of Joseph Waller, was born October 31, 1717, at Litchfield, Connecticut. In 1738 he was an original proprietor of Cornwall in the Housatonic Valley. He was Deacon successively of the First and Second churches of Cornwall. Later in life he removed with his family to the (then) Western country. His wife was Rhoda Taylor, daughter of Nathan and Han- nah (Benedict) Taylor, who bore him five sons and five daughters. She died at the home of her eldest son Nathan, at Oquago, on the Susquehanna River in New York. The sons were Nathan, Levi, Ashbel, Daniel, Joseph, four of whom were Revolutionary soldiers.
NATHAN, eldest of the five sons of Phineas and Rhoda Waller, was born in Cornwall, Connecticut, March 7, 1753, died in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, July II, 1831. He left Connecticut at an early age and settled in the Wyoming Val- ley, Pennsylvania, where he was married, May 4, 1773. In 1775 Nathan Wal- ler visited Connecticut with his wife Elizabeth and infant son Phineas. There he enlisted in the Revolutionary army as private of Captain Hickock's Com- pany, Colonel Nehemiah Beardsley's Sixteenth Regiment of the Connecticut Line. He was with the expedition to Fairfield and Danbury, Connecticut, in 1779 and was wounded at Horse Neck, the scene of General Putnam's famous escape from the British. His brother Levi enlisted at eighteen and died in the service at Princeton, New Jersey, in 1778. Ashbel, a third brother, served in the Sec- ond Regiment, Connecticut Line, and Daniel, a fourth, was in the Sixteenth Con- necticut. These three, with Joseph, the youngest, were all settled in the Wyom- ing Valley, Pennsylvania, prior to 1800. Three of them, Ashbel, Joseph and
758
W ALLER
Daniel, passed on and settled in Western New York and Ohio. After the war ended Nathan Waller returned with his family to Wyoming. He became the owner of much property above, below and in the city of Wilkes-Barre. Before 1787 he built upon his lower farm the house that is still standing across the western end of Division Street, Wilkes-Barre, which was then a road that led to the only river crossing. He was a man of powerful physique, and killed a bear in an encounter upon his lands at the Plains without weapons other than a pine knot he seized for defense. His name appears frequently in the very early records of Luzerne county, and in 1792, with Zebulon Butler and Timothy Pickering, was of the committee appointed by the town of Wilkes-Barre to choose a site for the Rev. Mr. Johnson's Congregational Church. The site se- lected was on the public square, whereon a little later was erected the building familiarly known as the "Old Ship Zion". Early in the nineteenth century Na- than Waller sold his South Wilkes-Barre farm and bought the large Putnam Catlin farm, on the banks of the Susquehanna at Oquago, now within the limits of the town of Windsor, Broome county, New York, and removed there with part of his family. In 1822 Nathan induced his son Phineas to exchange farms and take the Oquago farm, while he returned to Wilkes-Barre, where he resided until his death in his seventy-ninth year.
Nathan Waller married, in Wilkes-Barre, May 4, 1773, Elizabeth Weeks, born March 6, 1754, daughter of Jonathan Weeks, a resident pioneer from Fair- field, Connecticut, of whom it is recorded that on "Feb 12 1763 paid cash for one whole share in the Susquehanna Purchase". Jonathan made his first jour- ney to the Wyoming Valley in that year, and from his house in July, 1778, seven inen, including his three sons and son-in-law, went into the battle and massacre of Wyoming and were all slain. Mrs. Elizabeth (Weeks) Waller died Septem- ber 18, 1822, while the family were living on the Oquago farm in New York. Nathan and Elizabeth (Weeks) Waller were the parents of two sons and eight daughters. The sons were Phineas (see forward), and Elind R., who died at Wilkes-Barre, April 26, 1814, at the home of his brother Phineas, in his thirty- eighth year. Lydia, the eldest daughter, married (first), in 1806, Robert Chris- tie, and (second) Major Elijah Blackman. Lucy, the next eldest daughter, married in 1806, Philip Abbott. Their son Merritt became assistant superin- tendent of the Lehigh Navigation Company, and his daughter Stella married E. P. Wilbur, president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. Elizabeth, next to the youngest, married Miller Horton, one of the three brothers who owned mail coachlines in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, carrying mails and passengers during what we now call the "Stage Coach Days". The other daugh- ters married in New York and removed to the far west.
PHINEAS, first born of Nathan and Elizabeth (Weeks) Waller, was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, January 31, 1774, died at Bloomsburg, Pennsyl- vania, June 3, 1859. He acquired property at Wilkes-Barre, where he built a home, and lived until 1823, when he removed to his father's Oquago farm, and established a line of mail coaches which carried the mails between Utica and New York City by way of Oquago (Windsor), New York, and Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania. In 1836 Phineas returned to the Wyoming Valley, where he made additional land purchases. He died in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, in his eighty-sixth year. Phineas Waller married (first)., January 2, 1800, Hannah
