William Fisher of Virginia father of Robert Fisher trapper in New Mexico
I am descended from Robert Fisher who immigrated to New Mexico via Missouri in approximately 1825 from Virginia.He was baptized in Taos NM in 1831 and the baptismal records list his age as 24 and his parents' names as William Fisher and Nancy Candley (or possibly Vaughn) from Virginia.Robert married Rumalda Lopez of Arroyo Hondo NM in Taos in 1842 and they had several children, George, Melquiades, Alejandro, Preciliana, Noberto & Trinidad.Robert was a guide/trapper/trader who spent a lot of time in Southern Colorado.I've learned quite a lot about Robert but don't have a clue as to where to go to find out anything about HIS ancestors.Is there anyone out there who can help me???Thanks.
