     Thomas was born circa 1734 at Northampton Co, VA. His marriage record shows he had consent from his mother, implying he was under age 21. This and the fact that he chose his own guardian in 1751 (meaning he was age 14 or over), would put his birth between 1734 and 1737..^2,3 Thomas was named in his grandfather's will on 21 February 1743 at Northampton Co, VA. It was on this date that he was named in his grandfather John Dolby's will..⁴ Thomas was named in his father's will on 8 January 1750 at Northampton Co, VA.⁵ On 13 Aug 1751 Thomas Fisher chose Susannah Fisher as his guardian.⁶ Thomas was living in August 1751 at Northampton Co, VA. It was on this date that Thos, orphan of Maddo. Fisher chose his own guardian. He would have had to have been age 14 or older in order to chose his own guardian.

William Major was the security on the M.L.B. of Thomas Fisher and Sarah Turner, widow of George Turner. Thomas and Susanna Knight gave consent for her son Thomas. Littleton Savage, Thomas Dunn and Peggy Major were witnesses..² When Thomas Fisher secured an Act, 1769, to break the entail on 405 acres it was stated the land had descended to him from his father Maddox Fisher, grandfather John Fisher and great-grandfather Philip Fisher. Whitelaw, p. 460, makes it clear this land was the inheritance of Philip's son Thomas, and not his son John. The Thomas Fisher who broke the entail obviously erred regarding the name of his grandfather. The available records and the laws governing the inheritance of entailed land further require the conclusion that there were two generations, not one, between Thomas Fisher (s/o Philip) and the Thomas who broke the entail and that Maddox Fisher (father of the latter Thomas), who married Susanna Dolby and left will, 8 Jan 1749/50-13 Mar 1749/50 (N'hamp Co Wills & Inventories, 1740-50, p. 440), was son of Maddox Fisher (wife Sarah) (Adventurers of Purse and Person, p. 282).⁷ Thomas sold land in 1784 at Accomack Co, VA.

     His common name was Ismay. Esme was born in 1745 at Northampton Co, VA. Ismay Fisher, orphan of Maddox, chose his guardian Dec 1759.

Thomas Hall and Elizabeth Scarburgh, on 16 April 1765 at Northampton Co, VA.

(Evidently Thomas Dalby did not know his nephew had died, or we have mistaken the Esme Fisher who died in 1780.).⁵

     John was born circa 1730 at Northampton Co, VA. Since all 3 of John's siblings chose their guardians between 1751 and 1759, John must have been age 21 by 1751, or he too would have had to have chosen a guardian..

     Her common name was Rose. Rosanna was born circa 1741 at Northampton Co, VA. Rose Fisher, orphan of Maddox, chose her guardian Dec 1759, implying she was age 14 or over at that time. That would have placed her birth at 1745. However, she was named in her paternal grandfather's will in 1742/3, so she was evidently over age 14 at the time of choosing her guardian.. Rosanna was named in her grandfather's will on 21 February 1743 at Northampton Co, VA.
