Stephen Albert Fisher

DAR Ancestor #: A039683

Stephen Fisher (Lewis. Sebastian) was the eldest of the children of Lewis, or Ludwig, and Anna Barbara Fisher. He was born in Culpeper County, Va., in 1736, and remained a resident of that state until after the close of the Revolution. During that war he served as pack horse master under Col. Bowman, and was wounded in the right shoulder during an engagement with the Indians. As soon as he recovered he returned and served to the end of the war. He was assigned during his service to duty in Kentucky, and after the war he began to acquire land in that country; some was in grants for military service, but he sold his lands in Virginia and bought vast holdings in Kentucky. His home was in Mercer County, now Boyle County, Ky. where he died about May 20. 1817.

Stephen Fisher's wife, before her marriage was Mary Magdalene Garr, and all their descendants have been carefully traced and re- corded in The Garr Genealogy, bv John C. Garr, and published in 1894. Therefore, Stephen's family and his brother (9) Adam Fisher's family will not be included here, after this generation.
