This is a late reply.Since Rhode island is most likely to have the correct vital information on Josiah and Sarah Fisk I believe this is a case where Pierce is wrong. I have found the Barbour information to be generally reliable, though online sources may transcribe a name slightly. the exact match on a name and a date of birth in Barbour for Jonathan (albeit Pierces birthdate) might indicate Jonathan and Abigail are the parents you are looking for.......one place you might start is to find the religious affiliation of the minister who married the parents and search early church records.Jon and Abigail could not be the parent of Pierces' Esther given their marriage date and her birth date.Any chance you can find a date on a tombstone for Jonathan?
