Maranda Talitha Brake 1852-1932 and her husband Jasper Henderson Fisher 1849-1930. They moved from Macedonia, IL to Ellis Co., TX in the 1880s.Individual:
Jasper and Maranda were married by Minister Hosea Vise. About October 27,1870 Index 003/0435 this family moved from Macedonia, Franklin Co., IL to Ellis County, TX. Maranda's sister, Louisa Brake had married James M. Willett and they had moved to Ellis County previously. Jasper's good friend John L. Webb moved to TX, so this Fisher family took the long trip to TX with their belongings loaded in covered wagons. Arvin Fisher related that Jasper brought the most beautiful, finest looking horses to this TX county. The trip took three months. Two of the little children died and were buried somewhere on the trail. It is believed they are the two unnamed girls in this l...ist of children below.
In Texas, they purchased 53 acres in Bristol for $1200.00 where a house had already been constructed for them by their friends. The land was beautiful, on a high hill, and for years it was known as Fisher's Hill. Jasper farmed this land for awhile and in his later years he and Maranda moved to Ennis, TX where they lived the remainder of their lives.
Jasper also owned a produce store and covered many miles in the area selling his farm produce. On the 1900 census of Ellis County, TX, a boarder lived with them...Jasper Willett, son of James M. Willett and his wife Louisa Brake. Jasper's sister Gertrude and husband Charley Webb had moved to Texas and were instrumental in Jasper's successful move to Texas. An article about the community of Bristol, TX, written by Mary Mynrose (Brackin) Jones stated that Jasper Fisher was remembered for selling meat and produce in a "Rolling Butcher Shop". It also mentioned Mattie Fisher Webb and G. W. Webb in a list of teachers from 1903-1911. The 1920 Texas Soundex shows Jasper and Maranda living alone at 802 E. Crockett, Ennis, TX.
