"A Legacy From The Past For The Future"
F O R E W O R D
My interest in genealogy dates back to 1978 when I received a copy of the Fisher write-up by Wesley W. Fisher*, and charts of other family names. I began to collect information on all the names connected with our family, concentrating at this time more on the Fisher ancestors. My goal was to bring the existing information up to date, and to find out more about the generations preceding.
I have decided to make available to internet researchers, some of my information and lists that were compiled through many hours of microfilm viewing and library reading. I hope this information will prove helpful.

SPELLING VARIATIONS
Aside from the many confusing land transactions and poor quality of document reproduction, the spelling of names is the next most frustrating feature of genealogical research. For example, in a land Memorial for John Oster, his name is spelled three different ways and each of those versions differs from the above present-day spelling. Therefore, I have adopted the practice throughout of spelling the names according to the most common version, except of course, where I quote directly parts of a document or where I know definitely the spelling departs from the norm. In direct quotes I have left all spelling and grammar mistakes. Fischer is spelled with a "c" until Generation II, although Jacob Sr's children sometimes used this version. Also, some branches of this family in later years put the "c" back in.
OUR QUEST
Poem dedicated to my parents
and the generations preceding
(c1739 - 1827)
Soldier, farmer, pioneer, settler, loyal subject
of His Majesty King George III of Great Britain
On January 20th, 1756, British Parliament authorized the raising of four battalions in America. The 62nd Regiment of Foot, raised largely in Pennsylvania and Maryland, was part of the British forces. By 1758 they were re-numbered the 60th Regiment of Foot, and also known as The Royal American Regiment ("Royal" because the officers were commissioned by the King; "American" because the soldiers were recruited in the Colonies). The Royal American Regiment, when formed, consisted partly of Swiss and German settlers, in four battalions of 1000 men each, attired in red coats with plain blue facings. It was mainly the Royal American Regiment who defended the frontier forts in Pennsylvania.2, 3
Jacob served in the 1st Battalion of the 60th Regiment, as a Corporal, under Colonel Bouquet, in America, during the whole of the French and Indian War (1755-1763), also known as the Seven Year's War. The war from 1763 to 1765 was known as Pontiac's War. After serving for 7 years and 10 months, he received his discharge in 1764 as he was severely wounded and now deemed unfit for further service.
Included here in point form are some of the events which occurred during Jacob's military service to provide insight on what he was living through, and the fighting in which he could have been involved. All information and quotes are taken from reference #1 unless otherwise stated. The spelling and improper grammar have been copied here as shown in the source documents.

The Battle for Canada had begun.
Jacob's petition for Land in Canada states he ..."assisted in the reduction of this Province". In 1759 Canada was referred to as consisting of three "Provinces" - Canada (which included Quebec), Nova Scotia and Cape Breton9. This statement could refer to the "reduction of Quebec". I have not been able to determine if any of the 1st Bn Royal Americans were assigned to the 2nd and 3rd Bns to increase numbers during this campaign. However, Egle's Notes & Queries, V.1 states "After having participated in the war in Canada, Bouquet was charged to reduce the hostile Indian tribes of Canada." . During the first strike on Quebec, July 31st, 1759, 200 men of the Royal Americans were the second Regiment off the ship but all were driven back with heavy casualties. The second attempt - the battle on the Plain of Abraham - September 1759, proved successful and resulted in the raising of the British flag at Quebec.

Saturday, June 18, 1763:
|
It was just after nine in the morning when the private standing guard at the door of the small blockhouse suddenly straightened and called, "Mr. Price, some Indians are coming. Corporal Fisher's out there with them". Ensign George Price, commanding officer of Fort Le Boeuf, came to the doorway at once and looked out. Forty yards from the blockhouse the young, mustachioed Jacob Fisher was shaking hands in turn with five Senecas. The Indians carried rifles and even from this distance it was evident that Corporal Fisher was very nervous. Price turned his head and whispered a crackling command to the other corporal and the eleven privates of the garrison in the room behind him: "Get your guns ready. Hop to it!" Fisher, unarmed and being closely followed by the five Seneca, was walking toward the blockhouse, his back rigid as if expecting at any moment to feel the shock of a lead ball or tomahawk blade crashing into him. The Indians were smiling, but Price thought that they, too, looked a little nervous. He made a sign with his own gun for the Senecas to put down their weapons before coming any closer and was more than a little surprised when they complied, although he noted that all of them still carried knives and tomahawks in their belts. The commander remained at the door, his stomach knotting within him but showing no outward sign of it. Instead, he smiled pleasantly and held the door open until Fisher got to him and then, with a small movement of his head, motioned the corporal inside. Expelling a great sigh as he passed the officer, Fisher slipped inside. When queried by Ensign Price, the Senecas stated their purpose was to obtain powder and ball to make war on the Cherokee. When told they would not be given any ammunition, the Indians then asked for and received permission to camp and sleep outside the fort. Ensign Price hurriedly stepped inside the blockhouse, closing the door and bolting it behind him. He then ordered the heavy timber bar dropped in place and the heavy wooden shutters to be closed on the three windows. All fourteen personnel of the Fort were in the blockhouse. Corporal Nash then shouted to warn the others that there were now about thirty Indians outside. The party had approached from the direction of Fort Presqu'Isle. "Watch them," Price cautioned and then, to all of them, he warned: "No shooting unless they start it. Maybe there won't be trouble, but I wouldn't count on it. Corporal Fisher, there was no excuse for you being out there without your weapon." Fisher, chagrined, lowered his eyes and mumbled, "Yes, sir." "Well, never mind that now. You're supplies keeper. How do we stand on ammunition?" Fisher shook his head morosely. "Not good, Mr. Price. 'Bout twenty rounds apiece. Powder's been damp too. May not fire so good." "Sir!" It was Nash again. "They're coming up to the blockhouse. Every one of 'em's armed." |
From THE CONQUERORS: A Narrative 11, by Allan W. Eckert. Copyright © 1970
The foregoing scene was the prelude to the attack on Fort Le Boeuf.
The Seneca attacked at dusk and set the blockhouse afire. The soldiers managed to put out several fires, but eventually it got out of hand and threatened to smoke them out. While the Indians concentrated at the front watching the door of the blockhouse, Ensign Price and his thirteen men managed to escape through the small rear window and headed towards Fort Venango as they thought Presque'Isle, which was closer, to already be taken.
Sunday, June 19, 1763 - they walked all night, twenty miles through "unbearable terrain, and now, clothing ripped, feet blistered, skin badly scratched and bleeding, mosquito-bitten, and with a deep exhaustion settling upon all of them, they found that they had been circling - and the pillar of smoke in the distance was the still-burning remains of Fort Le Boeuf." Now there were only eight of them. The last six men in column were no longer with the group.11
Monday, June 20, 1763 - Ensign Price and his seven remaining soldiers again set out for Fort Venango only to find it in ruins, along with the horrible discovery of the scalped corpses of sixteen men. The bedraggled group now headed downstream toward Fort Pitt, about another 80 miles of walking ahead of them.11
Sunday, June 26, 1763 - "no sight they had ever seen was so welcome to Ensign George Price and his seven men as the huge bulk of Fort Pitt looming before them. In wretched condition with fatigue and hunger, the eight men had been moving for eight days since leaving Fort Le Boeuf and it was obvious they could not have survived much longer. The fact that they made it to the fort without being waylaid by some of the many Indians that had been harassing the place for so long, was little short of remarkable." 11
In a letter to Col Bouquet explaining the situation, Ensign Price, after all they had experienced in the past eight days, wrote - "I am a little fatigued but in good health, as are most of those who came with me".11
Six of the eight survivors of Fort Le Boeuf were: Ensign George Price, Corporals Jacob Fisher and John Nash, Privates John Nigley, John Dortinger and Uriah Trunk. Four of the six men who strayed from the group also survived and arrived at Fort Pitt a couple of days later, one of whom was John Dogood. The two whose fate is undetermined were John Cook and Daniel Clem.
You must keep in mind the size of each garrison, sometimes as few as twelve men defending a Fort (in 1763: Green Bay, 17; Presqu'Isle, 27; Michilimackinac, 35 men plus officers; Bedford, 12; Le Boeuf, 14).
Jacob's petition also states that "in 1763 the Indians took part of the Company your Petitioner belonged to and with it the Company's Books, whereby your Petitioner lost his pay for upwards of two years which he never received..."
Jul 18, 1763 - with further reinforcements of 30 experienced woodsmen, Bouquet marched from Carlisle to Bedford, arriving July 25th.
Jul 26, 1763 - marched from Bedford to Ligonier, arriving August 2nd10 - population of Fort Pitt - 330 men, 104 women, 106 children
Jul 27, 1763 - Fort Pitt attacked by the Delaware, Shawnee, Wyandotte and Mingoe
Aug 1, 1763 - the Indians ceased their attack on Fort Pitt to head off Col Bouquet's reinforcing army
Aug 4, 1763 - Bouquet continued on the march from Fort Ligonier to Fort Pitt but was intercepted by the Indians at Bushy Run (Edge Hill)12, 13
Aug 7, 1763 - all Royal Americans in Upper Posts directed to Pittsburgh
Aug 10, 1763 - the Victors of Bushy Run, with their wounded on litters, arrived at Fort Pitt, taking four days to traverse the 25 miles 10
If our ancestor was the Corporal Jacob Fisher defending Fort Le Boeuf, and now recuperating at Fort Pitt, then he did not participate at Bushy Run. In Col Bouquet's Return of the Killed and Wounded for this Battle, there was one Corporal of the Royal Americans killed at Bushy Run, but no Royal American Corporal wounded.
However, at Fort Pitt between the period May 28 to August 10, 1763, of the Royal Americans, there was one Captain wounded (Capt Simeon Ecuyer), one Sergeant wounded and one Corporal wounded, four privates killed, four privates wounded and one private missing. The wounded Corporal could have been our Jacob.
NOTE: The "Return of the Killed and Wounded" document is from microfilmed reels of War Office records available from the National Archives of Canada, Ottawa.
Sep 12, 1763 - Col Bouquet ordered a Court of Inquiry at Fort Pitt re the loss of Le Boeuf, and the survivors were questioned. There exists hand-written records by the author Francis Parkman regarding this inquiry. Jacob Fisher, John Nash, John Dogood, John Nigley, John Dortinger, and Uriah Trunk, survivors of the attack, gave testimony in support of Ensign Price's decision to escape from the Fort and make their way to Fort Venango instead of Presqu' Isle. These papers are available on microfilm from the National Archives in Ottawa.
Evidence of Corporal Fisher supported the stated events and confirmed the reason the fleeing garrison set out for Venango instead of the possible reinforcing of Presque'Isle. - "Presqu' Isle was but fifteen miles distant; but, from the direction in which his assailants (the Senecas) had come, Price rightly judged that it had been captured, and therefore resolved to make his way, if possible, to Venango, and reinforce Lt. Gordon, who commanded there"..."their only provisions were three biscuits to a man." 11
The war took its toll - three companies of His Majesty's Royal Americans were reduced to 55 men, and 38 deserters.
After their defeat at Bushy Run, the Indians ceased attacks on the settlements and the British armies were reduced in number and some units disbanded.
Nov 17, 1763 - Letter from Amherst to Gage states "...six companies of the 1st Bn Royal Americans are to continue at Fort Pitt; the other three Companies being detached to replace the South Carolina Independents, which are to be disbanded..."
Nov 17, 1763 - Ordered by Amherst: 2nd Bn Royal Americans assigned to Quebec and "its Dependencies"; 5 companies to the Govt of Trois Rivieres; Townshend's to Montreal & its Dependencies. W/O 1/5
Apr 1764 - Bouquet's regular force consisted of 400 men in the 42nd Regiment, 250 men in the 60th Regiment (Royal Americans), 200 friendly Indians, and 200 drivers.14
This year the Indian attacks resumed along the northern frontier of Pennsylvania. To prepare for an expedition, the British recruited more soldiers, including 254 frontiersmen.15
Oct 3, 1764 - "Bouquet took an army (of about 1500 men) west into the Indian country and in a treaty held at the Forks of the Muskingum brought hostilities to an end".13, 16 With this treaty, all prisoners were supposed to be returned. By November 28th the troops had returned to Fort Pitt.
Jacob had been wounded so severely that he was not fit for further service, and received his discharge in October 1764. At what point he was wounded is not clear; it could have been during this latest expedition, or previously.
In 1768 the uniform of His Majesty's Royal Americans was red jackets with blue facings and the trousers were blue. However, on the frontier they were not always able to acquire the proper dress... Letter Maj Tulliken to Col Bouquet, "...our people have leggings. I intended always that they should have blue, but we could not have blue at Albany so that we have green tied with a red garter". 1
Commissions were purchased by the Officers. If one had a chance at promotion and could not afford to buy the vacancy, he lost out. The cost of a Lieutenant's rank was about £120 and that of an Ensign about £25.

JACOB FISCHER, Senior - IN PENNSYLVANIA
As mentioned previously, Jacob Fischer served in the 1st Battalion of the 60th Regiment, as a corporal under Colonel Bouquet, in America, during the whole of the Old French War and Indian War. He was one of 2655 soldiers recruited from June 25th, 1756 to June 21st 1758. After serving for seven years and ten months, he received his discharge in 1764 as he was severely wounded and now deemed unfit for further service.
After his military discharge, Jacob married c1766 as the Bible states his first child, Michael, was born in July 1767. His second child John was born in 1769, Jacob Jr. in 1771, Peter in 1773, and a daughter Elizabeth in 1775. There may have been two marriages according to parish records. Another child Eve was born in 1777, son Valentine in 1779, daughter Catherine in 1781, daughter Rachel in 1783, and last child Michael (my ancestor) in 1786, who was given the same name as the deceased first child.
Jacob settled in Berlin, PA, his tract of land called "Fisher's Net", where he raised his family until their journey to York County, Canada, in 1796.

By Document #01458, 1792, Jacob Fisher and Mary his wife, sold 228 acres of Fisher's Net, being part of a larger tract of 305 acres, situate near the north fork of Buffalo Lick Creek in Brothers Valley Township, County of Bedford, to Christian Meyer (yeoman), for £450, Nicholas Cober was a witness. This land was granted to Jacob by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Patent Book 6, page 311, by Warrant dated at Philadelphia August 16, 1784. (You will note the name of Jacob's wife is shown as Mary. The same thing occurred in land records in Vaughan Township and we know it is the right family because of the names of their children. Her father's Will refers to her as Mary; the Berlin Parish Records refer to her as Anna Maria.)
The remaining portion of 79 acres of Fisher's Net was sold to George Kimmel on August 10, 1796, for the sum of £650. The aforementioned Mill was located within this acreage. It was called a tub mill, so named from the form and construction of the wheel.20 George Kimmel sold to Christian Steiner (Stoner) in 1797 for the amount of £700. (This document states that Jacob Fischer was formerly of Brothers Valley Township.) In 1809 Christian Steiner sold to Isaac Steiner for $287.60; in 1814 Isaac sold to Abraham Miller for $2485; in 1826 Abraham sold to his son John A. for $900. John A. rebuilt the mill in 1830. In 1879 the mill was willed to John's grandson Calvin Hay.21

Jacob had now completed most of his land transactions. With the sale of his holdings and life's work in Pennsylvania, one can picture the scene that followed - the packing of their movable belongings into the Conestoga wagons; the decisions on what to take and what to leave behind; judging what supplies would be needed for the journey and to sustain them during resettlement. Probably the most difficult of all would be the heart-wrenching goodbyes to lifelong friends and neighbours, although many followed to Canada in later years.
Wagons loaded, children fed, goodbyes said, a few tears and waves... with the sun just appearing over the horizon, the wagon train would move out slowly along the Conestoga trail; the small children in saddle bags 22 at the sides of the horses, the men and women walking alongside; perhaps Eve Cober riding one of the wagons as she was expecting a child; perhaps a few cattle and sheep trailing behind. No doubt Grace was said with each meal and a prayer remembered each day from the treasured family Bible.
Thus began their journey to a new Country; to a new life.

JACOB FISCHER, Sr. - IN CANADA
Their settlement in York County, Vaughan & York Townships, became known as Fisherville, which today is a part of Toronto, in the Dufferin/Bathhurst and Steeles area.

Growing regally on Lot 5, Concession VI, at the side of Highway 7 in Vaughan Township, is a beautiful old Bur Oak tree which has been declared an historical landmark by the Town of Vaughan and which has been designated "The Jacob Fisher Oak Tree" in honour of this first settler on that tract of land. The tree is believed to be 200+ years of age, and measures 48-50" in diameter. This area is no longer the wilderness of 1796, nor even the countryside of a few years ago. It has become a commercial centre with the buildings constructed around this glorious, symbolic tree. The inscription reads:
"This 250-year-old bur oak tree stood here in 1837 when local farmers secretly practised their musketry for the Rebellion led by William Lyon Mackenzie. This land was settled in 1801 by Jacob Fisher, an early immigrant from Pennsylvania."

PARTIAL LISTING,
1st BN, 60th REGIMENT OF FOOT,
HIS MAJESTY'S ROYAL AMERICANS
Since men from one unit were often assigned to other units, it becomes very difficult to determine who served where at any one time. It was also common for an officer of one Regiment to be promoted to an Officer's vacancy in another Regiment, and for an officer to have a dual commission, that is, to be one rank in a Regiment and also hold another rank in a different Regiment at the same time. Also a name could be listed as Captain in the earlier years, and be listed as Major in later years. I have used the latest rank shown and listed various dates and locations when shown. In some instances a discharged soldier would re-enlist in a different regiment.
There were numerous entries stating affiliation as belonging to the "Royals". Since this could mean the Royal Americans (60th Regt), the Royal Highlanders, the Royal Artillery, the Royal Scots Regt., the 1st Royal Regiment of Foot, the 44th or the 48th Royal Regiment, I did not list these people. I have only listed names which were shown directly as 60th, 62nd, or as Royal American.
