He married Mary 'Polly' White, daughter of William White and Rachel Jacob, on 13 December 1791 at Northampton Co, VA. George Melhollomes was the security on the M.L.B. of James Fisher and Mary White, daughter of William White, deceased..² James was living on 28 November 1794 at Northampton Co, VA. It was on this date that he and Hancock Jacob were named to administered Rachel White's estate. She would have been his mother-in-law..³ James died in 1795.⁴ Administration of James's estate was filed on 13 July 1795 at Northampton Co, VA. It was on this date that his estate was administered to William Fisher (probably his uncle?), Polly the widow of James having declined. Appraisers were John Tompkins, John Elliott, Robins Mapp and Kendall Addison.⁵ In describing the ownership of tract N88, Whitelaw traces the John Fisher Part as follows: "1720 - The will of John Fisher mentioned no land, but being entailed it went to his eldest son Thomas. 1727 - He left everything to his wife Sarah, but the land went to his eldest son, also a Thomas. 1772 - Thomas, Jr. (wife Mary), left to his son Thomas (III) but upon his death without issue the title reverted to his mother, who married Tully R. Wise, the son of Colonel John Wise IV. 1812 - He left the property to a son of the same name, and in 1841 Tully R. and Ann K. Wise sold the plantation of 758 acres by survey to Southy S. Satchell." On closer investigation, it is evident that Whitelaw did not trace the later Fisher generations accurately, perhaps because of two wives named Mary, both nicknamed Polly, the older one a Bell and the younger one a White. He was correct up through 1772. However, Thomas (III) did not die without issue, as he had a son James whose estate was administered to a William Fisher on 13 Jul 1795, Polly the widow of James having declined. Polly was Mary White, daughter of William deceased, who had married James Fisher on 13 Dec 1791. It was this Mary Fisher who married Tully R. Wise on 7 Dec 1797 and not Thomas (III)'s mother Mary, as she died in 1785, as Polly Fisher. To further complicate matters, James Fisher may have had a son, Tully Wise Fisher, born about the time of his death, or his wife Mary had a bastard child by her future husband, Tully R. Wise. Ironically, if Tully Wise Fisher was in fact James' son, it would be he who should have inherited the land instead of Tully R. Wise obtaining it by marring the widow of James.⁶

VA Orders & Wills 1698-1710, Vol. II, 1704-1710, Peter's Row, Coram, NY, 2001, p. 174) Thomas Marshall was named guardian to Francis and Margaret Wainhouse, for whom he filed an accounting in 1724. Accomack court records state that Thomas was made guardian for these orphans of Dorothy Wainhouse on her marriage. Dorothy was Francis Wainhouse, Sr.'s sister. She was probably the first guardian after his death and she married about 1715. The Accomack records do not say 'why' Thomas Marshall was named, but it appears he married Patience about 1718-19. Patience also named her grandson, Esme Baily, son of Edmund and Rose Bayly, in her will (although Isma Bayly was her great grandson by her granddaughter, Rose Fisher) and Thomas Marshall was Isma Bayly's guardian at the death of his father, Edmund Bayly in 1751. The administration of Thomas Fisher's estate was granted to Patience on behalf of herself and her children in 1709. Records show that Maddox Fisher was the son of Thomas Fisher; however, the names of any siblings are not provided. The use of the word "children" in the administration indicates more than one. A Tabitha Johnson, wife of John d. 1754, named her son Ismy; neither Tabitha Johnson nor Ismy Johnson were named by Patience (John predeceased and Tabitha's date of death is unknown) but there were many relations between the Marshalls and Johnsons. In addition, Patience's son, Francis Wainhouse married a Bridget Johnson. Patience named her children by Thomas Marshall in her will, including Esme Marshall, their eldest son. Based on approximate dates of birth for Maddox Fisher, Sr., the probate for Thomas Fisher's estate and marriage to Francis Wainhouse, Sr., Patience was probably ten or so years senior to Thomas Marshall. She would have married at about age 15 had children in her late 30's and lived into her 80's.⁴ Patience was named in her husband's will on 4 December 1717 at Northampton Co, VA.
