Notes: In Lilla BRIGGS SAMPSON`s manuscript she is inconsistent in naming the father of Mary FISHER. On p.5 of the section on John, she states that John`s son John married Hannah FISHER, daughter of Edward FISHER and sister to Mary FISHER who married his brother, Thomas BRIGGS. And on p.1 of the Thomas section, she states that Mary was the daughter of Samuel FISHER. WRONG! (In late 2003, I learned the other sister Frances, who is married to another John, is also my ancestor.) See notes on Frances FISHER

Since John Osborne Austin states on p. 26 of his book that Mary was the daughter of Edward and Judith FISHER, that is probably the correct parentage.

(Lilla Elizabeth BRIGGS SAMPSON made many errors in her manuscript, and I do not consider her an authority. She combined my second great grandfather, Giles BRIGGS, with another Giles, and it took me many years to find the correct combination. EL)
