Tracing the Roots of Thomas Joseph Fisher | |
| Note: This first generation is not substantiated in writing but only in oral tradition. From this and earlier letters to Germany, it is "assumed" that the Baron was a prominent person with much wealth and property, but ... as the story goes ... he shot one of the King's deer and was exiled from the country, forfeiting all his wealth and property. It was also the custom for such exiles to have their names removed from any and all registers. | |
Baron Ludwig von Fischer b. Jaeger Platz, Berlin, Germany (Bavaria) d. Staunton VA 1777 Three sons: William ?, Joseph Clarence ?, and Johannes Christofer They entered the U.S. in 1775 The above has many versions. There is a Baron Ludwig von Fischer burried somewhere in Virginia but I was never able to acquire the location and visit the site. Those that gave me that information are no longer living.
