Cephas Fisher Genealogy
Cephas Fisher Sr. (1780 – 1863) of Ohio was a great-grandson of Thomas Fisher and Elizabeth Huntley Fisher of Chester County, Pennsylvania. His son, Cephas Fisher Jr., was my Great-Great Grandfather.
Thomas Fisher (ca 1682 – 1747) came from the British Isles, apparently arriving in Pennsylvania between 1691 and 1713. The family farm in Kennett Township, Chester County was first obtained by warrant from William Penn to a Thomas Fisher (possibly father of the younger Thomas) in early 1701. He married Elizabeth Huntley in 1713 and lived in Chester County until his death in 1747. Their son James (1715 – 1771) had a son James (1744 – 1828) who was the father of Cephas Fisher Sr. (1780 – 1863).
