Biography

Laurentius/Lorentz/Lawrence Fischer was born about 1702, most probably in the village of Gondelsheim (24 km northeast of Karlsruhe). He was the son of Sebastian Fisher and Susanna Brackhen.

Baptism: Laurentius Fischer, son of Hannß Sebastian Fischer and Susanna Bracken, was born 27 Sep 1702.[1][2][3]

Confirmation: 1720 at Tschoghari in Weisersdorf[4]. NOTE: if he was born in 1702, it seems unlikely that he was confirmed at age 18 instead of the usual 14. Perhaps one of the records refers to a different person?

1723: Lorentz Fisher migrates from New York to Tulpehocken, Pennsylvania, with his parents

~1730: The farm of Lorentz Fischer appears on the Lindemuth Map, next to his father Sebastian.

1732: Lorentz Fischer appear on the tax list for Tulpehocken Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

He died about 1753. Apparently he left a will, not yet located.

A note above indicates that Lorentz left a will that has not been found. Gertrude Harding's Fisher Genealogy includes a will for Sebastian's oldest son who went by Lewis who migrated to Culpepper County, VA. (Harding claims his brother Adam also migrated to Virginia.) The will was proved 19 Jul 1773 and Harding transcribes it in full: https://archive.org/details/fishergenealogic00hard/page/8/mode/2up

I see that a Wikitree profile exists for Adam Fisher (1739-1812), [Fisher-10303], a son of Adam mentioned in the source linked in your comment. In the profile, he is a son of Ludwig "Adam" Fisher. I will suggest some merges, as I see Sebastian has a duplicate profile.
