General Notes: Husband - William Fisher

---

Thomas Fisher, the grandfather of William Fisher, was among the original purchasers of land in Chester County, Pennsylvania, from the Penns, and at whose death it was inherited by his nephew, and in the fall of 1800 he moved to Centre County (then Upper Bald Eagle, later Union township), where he purchased land, built a dwelling, sawmill, and in 1812 erected the stone mansion known as the old stone house at Snow Shoe Intersection.

He was an influential citizen and a prominent member of the Society of Friends, who was noted for his manly deportment and high character. His exact nativity is not known, but he probably came from England. He located in Centre County, Pennsylvania, and improved and cultivated a large tract of land, accumulating a handsome fortune.
