Sarah E Fisher, daughter of Henry and Magdalene Farlee Fisher was born in Shamokin Township, Northumberland County, Pa., May 20th, 1707; died in Ralpho near Bear Gap, Pa., December 21st, 1871.
She married in Dec. 29th, 1814 to James, son of James and Anna Bird, born July 8th, 1791, in New Jersey; died Sept. 5th, 1878, at Bear Gap, Pa. James Bird was a carpenter by occupation, being employed in that capacity in Henry Fisher's mill, at Bear Gap, Pa., until after his marriage. In 1822 they located upon a farm at Bear Gap, upon which they resided the rest of their lives. This property is still in possession of their family. At an early age they became members of the Bear Gap Methodist Church. Their daughter says, "They were old-fashioned Methodists, plain and strict, and departed from this world with bright assurances of a better land, having lived and died in the true Christian faith."
Together they had 6 children:
1.Henry F. Bird, b. Feb. 6th, 1818;
2.James, b. June 9th, 1819; m., June 10th, 1843, to Catharine A. Fox;
3.John S., b. Feb. 1st, 1824; m., Aug. 19th, 1847, to Rachael A. Potter;
4.Lena F., b. Nov. 27th, 1825;
5.Anna, b. June 3d, 1829; and
6.Sarah, b. Sept. 6th, 1832.
In 1850, their Federal Census reports another child living with the family who was Mary Jane Fisher, age 12 while the family was living in Roaring Creek. The relationship is unknown and may have been fostered and we don't know what happened to her.
