Query: FISCHER,MILLER Can anyone help me identify the JOHANNES
FISCHER, who was a blacksmith in the Oley area as early as the mid 1730's?
Was he the same JOHANNES FISCHER who came to America with the KOCHERTAL
group in 1709. The latter was a 27 year old blacksmith at the time, and
he settled with his wife in Quassaik Kill on the Hudson. They sold their
property in 1722, and I have been unable to trace his movements beyond
that point. From the names of his children and the fact that he was a blacksmith,
I suspect that he was the JOHANNES FISCHER of Oley, but I have no proof.
His granddaughter CATHERINE FISCHER married a NICHOLAS MILLER in the mid
1770's, and this family moved 1n the 1790's to Shenandoah County, Virginia.
Does anyone know who the parents of this NICHOLAS MILLER were?.
