Actually, I don't know about the family fortune myth (never heard that one), and I don't know why his son Adam came to America (there are different stories about that), but Johann Adam Fischer WAS a Baron.
Here is a link to the certificate of nobility bestowed in 1703:http://www.scribd.com/doc/19439540/Baron-Johann-Adam-Fischer-Von-Fischerbach-Nobilityhttp://www.scribd.com/doc/19439540/Baron-Johann-Adam-Fischer-Von-Fischerbach-Nobility
This document includes a copy of the original certificate of nobility and the coat of arms provided to Johann Adam Fischer von Fischerbach on May 8, 1703 by the Holy Roman Emperor. A translation to English is also included.The document is now in the Czech Republic archives.It is a very interesting read!
