Biography
Peter Fisher was born about 1801, probably in Tennessee. He was the son of William Fisher and Mary Scott . He was living in Greene County, Illinois in 1830[1] and 1840[2], and in Morgan County in 1850.[3] By 1860 he had moved to Allen County, Kansas,[4] and was still there in 1865.[5] His death apparently occurred before 1870.
Research Notes
Per Christopher Becker: "The 1830 census for Greene Co., IL. shows Peter as between 20-30, 1 male child between 5-10 , 2 female children under 5, and a wife between 20-30. Since it is not known exactly when his 1st wife Mary Greenstreet died, or when amd where he married Nancy Allred, it is hard to say if the children are Mary's or Nancy's. No one as of this date has been able to find names for the first 2 children."[6]
