Notes about John Fisher: Source: MacNutt-Murray Person page 185
John moved to Nova Scotia from New Hampshire with his parents. He married Elizabeth Crowley in 1763 and he and his wife moved to Upper Musquodoboit in 1784 - in 1786 received a grant of 700 acres. John was a grantee of Truro, Nova Scotia. When he and Elizabeth went to Musquodoboit the land was rather wild. Shortly after settling there, a moose crossed a field on day and Elizabeth took their gun and shot it, wounding the animal sufficiently that the men were able to follow after and finish it. Information about John was given by Robert Semple and his sources were Genealogical Record of Colchester Co. (Miller book) and Stewiacke, Nova Scotia.
