Fishers in NJ: Hannah 1772, Jacob c.1747

My latest brick wall:

I'm descended from

Abram I. Bergen
(04 Oct 1767 Sourland NJ (between Neshanic and Hillsborough) - 13 Apr 1826 Sourland NJ),
and his 2d wife,
Hannah Fisher
(28 Feb 1772 Cranbury, Middlesex, New Jersey (supposedly) - 11 Sep 1849)

Abram's 1st wife was Catherine Voorhees, who died 4 May 1792.

The Bergen line is well documented in
Bergen, Teunis G. (1876). “The Bergen Family; Or, The Descendants of Hans Hansen Bergen, One of the Early Settlers of New York and Brooklyn, L.I.” Albany, NY: Joel Munsell.

and this is where the Hannah Fisher info comes from.
Also stated there is that she is the daughter of a Jacob Fisher (mother unnamed/unknown). What is not given there and what I cannot find anywhere else--FamilySearch, Ancestry.com, genealogies in GoogleBooks, the Web at large--is anything further about Hannah or Jacob that fits with the data I have. No mother, no dates, no places, nothing.

It just occurred to me: I wonder if she remarried after Abram died in 1826? She lived for another 23 years after that, and when he died their youngest 2 kids were aged 13 and 11. Seems likely now that I think about it. I'll investigate.

In the meantime, does any of this connect for anyone?
Thanks ... ~ k
