General Notes: Husband - John Adam Fisher

---

The Fisher family owned the principal portion of the Isle of Que beginning from Colonial times. The first of the name to come to America crossed the ocean from Germany about 1710, and located first in New York State, spending a few years at a point on the Hudson river, and settling at Schoharie in 1713. In 1723 he came to Pennsylvania and established his home in Berks County. Previous to the Revolutionary war, John Adam Fisher came with his wife and located on the lower end of the Isle of Que. The Indians were still troublesome, and the members of the family often found it necessary to flee to places of safety during outbreaks. [CBRCP-CCUS, 1085]

He came from Germany, was an early settler on the Tulpehocken, in Pennsylvania, and afterward located at what came to be known as Fisher's Ferry, on the Isle of Que, Pennsylvania. He had ten children, nine boys and one girl. [CBRCP-CCUS, 1136]

Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, borders the Susquehanna River. The portion of the borough that is located between Penns Creek and the Susquehanna River is known locally as the "Isle of Que."
