I have the Fifer line all the way back to the 1760's. The line is from VA, Brock's Gap in the north end of the Shenandoah Valley. A large wagon train departed there in the 1830's. I can send you the complete line from an Isaac Phifer going back to Joseph Phifer to Peter Fifer to Adam Fifer. The info includes most of the wives and children. Your Joseph is the son of my Joseph married to Elizabeth Manning.

Notes for PETER (JR) FIFER:
OBIT: Washington News, Thursday, December 17, 1885. "Gone To Their Rest" "After Much Suffering, Mr. Peter Fifer Peacefully Pass Away"------ At 2 o'clock yesterday morning, Peter Fifer, the well known commission merchant and stock dealer, breathed his last.He had been ill for some time, suffering from a kidney complaint and for several weeks has been lying at the point of death.Mr. Fifer was one of the best known of Peoria's stockman, having organized the commission house of Fifer & Co. here in 1866, and conducted it up to the present time.
He was born in Rockingham County, VA., in January 21, 1821.In 1842 he came to Illinois and located at Washington, Tazewell County, where he engaged in farming for some time and at length began buying grain and stock.In 1877 he was the Mayor of Washington and that town was his home, although his business was in Peoria, up to two years ago.Only last year he built himself a residence upon the West Bluff.Mr. Fifer was married in 1843 to Miss Mary Curtis, a Pennsylvania lady, and the result of the union was four children, Cordelia, Inez, Chas. M., and Ella.About two weeks ago the companion of his life was suddenly stricken down with heart disease and died having previously been in what seemed perfect health.He was so low at the time that it was feared that he would not survive the shock of the sad intelligence of her death and it was not immediately made known to him.But he lingered until yesterdya morning when he passed peacefully into the great beyond.
The remains will be taken to Washington for interment on a special train which will leave here Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock, the funeral services being held an hour later in the Methodist church of that place.The stock dealers will escort the remains to the train and attend the funeral in a body.
Yesterday morning there was a meeting of the business men and employees of the Union Stock Yards.Remarks were made by various members showing the profound esteem in which they held the deceased.The following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty to remove from our midst our friend and co-laborer Peter Fifer, and Whereas, while we recognize and bow to his will, we each and every one feel the loss of a personal friend - one whom it was a pleasure to know, and to know was to love.Resolved, that as a further token of esteem and respect to our departed brother, a copy of these resolutions be presented the family and that we attend the funeral in a body.
A meeting was also held on Change to take appropriate action with reference to Mr. Fifer's death an a committee consisting of P. B. Miles, Jacob Schwabacher and W. H. Mills was appointed to draft resolutions and report this morning. The committee appointed on Change to draft resolutions reported the following Saturday morning and they were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, God in His allwise Providence has taken from our midst by the hand of death, Peter Fifer, an old and honorable member of our board, and Whereas, we who are members of the Peoris Board of Trade, are desirous of making to his family some expressions of our sympathy and friendship, and of giving to his friends some testimony of his worth as a man; therefore be it resolved, that to the children who have lost a father, and to all the relations and friends, we extend the deepest sympathy in this hour of their afflication. Resolved that while we mourn the loss of a member, we mourn the loss of one who was upright in business, homorable in trade, a good citizen, who was an ornament to any community.Resolved that these resolutions be printed in the daily papers and a copy be furnished to the family of the deceased. -- Peoria Transcript.
Mr. Fifer prior to his removal to Peoria had been a resident of Washington since 1842, and was universally respected and esteemed.The special train with his remains, accompanied by a large delegation of Peorians arrived here at 10:30 a.m.The masonic fraternity of Washington, of which he was a member met the remains at the depot and took charge of the funeral which was held in the Methodist Church.The large edifice was packed with the friends of the deceased, and the services were very impressive and solemn, the officiating ministers being Rev. Cres and Cornelison.
"Resolutions of Respect & Condolance"At the December Convocation of Taylor Lodge No. 98 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the following preamble and resolutions expressing the loss sustained by the lodge and community, and the respect felt for our deceased brother, Peter Fifer, were unanimously adopted and ordered spread on the Lodge records.Whereas, in the order of Providence our esteemed friend and brother, Peter Fifer, has been cut down by the hand of death in the midst of his usefulness, and Whereas, Taylor Lodge No.98 A. F. and A. M. of which the deceased was an active member, feels keenly the loss of one upon whose judgement we always relied, and in whose life we ever witnessed a noble exemplification of the tenets of our institution.Therefore be it resolved that our deep sorrow is hereby expressed at the loss of our departed brother, and while we will sadly miss the cheer of his presence, the wisdom of his counsels, and the benigninfluence of his exemplary life, yet we bow in submission to the mysterious Providence who ordered all things for the best.Resolved, that the sympathies of Taylor Lodge No. 98 be hereby conveyed to the bereaved family of our departed brother with the sincere prayer that He who doeth all things well, may sustain them in their hour of darkness and afflication.Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family of our deceased Brother, that they be spread upon the minutes of the lodge, that they be published in our city paper and that in token of our respect for the memory of the deceased, the lodge be draped in mourning for the space of thirty days.Respectfully submitted, J. F. Hoover; I. Zinser; Wm. Jones.

Peter Fifer, residence, Washington, business, Grain and Stock Dealer, nativity, Rockingham Co., VA, when came to county, 1842.
Peter Fiffer was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, on the 21st of January, 1821 and in 1835 moved with his mother to the state of Ohio and settled in Preble County. Here Peter commenced to farm on rented land and remained seven years. He then emigrated to the state of Illinois and settled in Washington Township, Tazewell County, where he again engaged in farming on rented land, one year, and then moved to Walnut Grove, in Woodford County and carried on farming until the fall of 1846. He then removed to the town of Washington, Tazewell County, and engaged in teaming and buying grain, and all other produce that was then to be bought, and with his own teams would haul the same to the Illinois river, and either sell to speculators or ship to market. In this business he was engaged for ten years, and prospered well. In the fall of 1843, he was joined in marriage to Miss Mary Jane Curtis, who was born in Pennsylvania, about the year 1825, and moved with her parents to the state of Illinois in 1832. In the fall of 1856, Mr. Fiffer engaged in the general mercantile and grain business, in company with Rupert, Allen & Martin, in the town of Washington, and did a heavy business for about one year, when the firm failed, and Mr. Fiffer suffered a heavy loss. He then engaged as clerk and salesman for R. C. Dement, for one year, and then engaged in mercantile business for himself, and prospered well for two years, and then gave his time and attention exclusively to the grain and stock business, and has extensively and successfully engaged in buying and shipping all kinds of grain and stock ever since.
Mr. Fiffer commenced his course in life a very poor boy, and has suffered some very heavy losses on account of the bad conduct of those he has been engaged in business with, but through a steady course of industry, economy, and honest dealings with all men, has retained the confidence of the community and preserved his credit unimpaired; and with close application to business and many self denials, has become one of the most popular business men and heavy property holders of this community. He is well and favorably known for his prompt and correct business abilities, which is the cause of holding many of the important offices of both township and county. In all these capacities he discharged his official duties with credit to himself and full satisfaction to his constituents, and it may well be said that Mr. Fiffer is, and has always been, one of the live and enterprising men of this community. He has done as much, perhaps, to improve the prosperity of this town and county as any other man, and is entitled to much praise for his good citizenship.
History of Tazewell County, Illinois, Chapman, Chicago, 1879, page 684.
Peter Fifer, grain broker, was born in Rockingham Co., VA January 21, 1821, and emigrated to this county in the spring of 1842, where he engaged in farming for some years, when he commenced buying grain and stock, opening the grain house of Fifer & Co., at Peoria, in 1866, which is still in successful operation. He also has a sawmill in operation in this city, where he is extensively engaged in business. He was married in 1843, to Miss Mary J. Curtis, a native of Erie Co., PA, by whom he has four children-Cordelia, Inez, Charles M., and Ellie. Mr. F. is among the foremost of the business men of this city, and was the people's choice to fill the Mayor's chair in March, 1877, at which time the city was incorporated; was also elected Supervisor April 15, 1879, and has always been identified with the interests of the town and county.

ADAM FIFER GENEALOGY
1.ADAM1 FIFER was born Abt. 1745, and died Bef. Mar 19, 1805 in Rockingham County, VA.He married FRANNY (OR FANNY/FRANEY) ?.She died in Rockingham County, VA.
Notes for ADAM FIFER:
"47 Pioneer Families of Rockingham County, Virginia, who migrated through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to Missouri", Robert L. Brock PhD, Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1997, pp. 156-164: Adam Fifer bornca 1747 first appeared in Rockingham County land records as owning land in 1780. We do not know when he may have purchased the land.These landrecords establish the area as that west of Timberville and into the Brock's Gap region.The surname spelling is Fifer, with an occasional Pifer or Piper.Members of this line are listed in the 1787 Rockingham census, and others are on Militia Lists for Brock's Gap.With one exception, land transactions are in this area of Rockingham County.The exception is the purchase of land by Adam Fifer in 1790 and the sale of the same land in 1792, located in the north part of Stonewall Township along Boones Run and Runkels Gap through Peaked Mountain.The principal descendant of Adam Fifer and his wife Franny was Peter Fifer, and he married and lived in the Brock's Gap area.We have as yet to find any direct connection between this Fifer line and the others we are tracking.

Notes for PETER (JR) FIFER:
OBIT: Washington News, Thursday, December 17, 1885. "Gone To Their Rest" "After Much Suffering, Mr. Peter Fifer Peacefully Pass Away"------ At 2 o'clock yesterday morning, Peter Fifer, the well known commission merchant and stock dealer, breathed his last.He had been ill for some time, suffering from a kidney complaint and for several weeks has been lying at the point of death.Mr. Fifer was one of the best known of Peoria's stockman, having organized the commission house of Fifer & Co. here in 1866, and conducted it up to the present time.
He was born in Rockingham County, VA., in January 21, 1821.In 1842 he came to Illinois and located at Washington, Tazewell County, where he engaged in farming for some time and at length began buying grain and stock.In 1877 he was the Mayor of Washington and that town was his home, although his business was in Peoria, up to two years ago.Only last year he built himself a residence upon the West Bluff.Mr. Fifer was married in 1843 to Miss Mary Curtis, a Pennsylvania lady, and the result of the union was four children, Cordelia, Inez, Chas. M., and Ella.About two weeks ago the companion of his life was suddenly stricken down with heart disease and died having previously been in what seemed perfect health.He was so low at the time that it was feared that he would not survive the shock of the sad intelligence of her death and it was not immediately made known to him.But he lingered until yesterdya morning when he passed peacefully into the great beyond.
The remains will be taken to Washington for interment on a special train which will leave here Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock, the funeral services being held an hour later in the Methodist church of that place.The stock dealers will escort the remains to the train and attend the funeral in a body.
Yesterday morning there was a meeting of the business men and employees of the Union Stock Yards.Remarks were made by various members showing the profound esteem in which they held the deceased.The following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty to remove from our midst our friend and co-laborer Peter Fifer, and Whereas, while we recognize and bow to his will, we each and every one feel the loss of a personal friend - one whom it was a pleasure to know, and to know was to love.Resolved, that as a further token of esteem and respect to our departed brother, a copy of these resolutions be presented the family and that we attend the funeral in a body.
A meeting was also held on Change to take appropriate action with reference to Mr. Fifer's death an a committee consisting of P. B. Miles, Jacob Schwabacher and W. H. Mills was appointed to draft resolutions and report this morning. The committee appointed on Change to draft resolutions reported the following Saturday morning and they were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, God in His allwise Providence has taken from our midst by the hand of death, Peter Fifer, an old and honorable member of our board, and Whereas, we who are members of the Peoris Board of Trade, are desirous of making to his family some expressions of our sympathy and friendship, and of giving to his friends some testimony of his worth as a man; therefore be it resolved, that to the children who have lost a father, and to all the relations and friends, we extend the deepest sympathy in this hour of their afflication. Resolved that while we mourn the loss of a member, we mourn the loss of one who was upright in business, homorable in trade, a good citizen, who was an ornament to any community.Resolved that these resolutions be printed in the daily papers and a copy be furnished to the family of the deceased. -- Peoria Transcript.
Mr. Fifer prior to his removal to Peoria had been a resident of Washington since 1842, and was universally respected and esteemed.The special train with his remains, accompanied by a large delegation of Peorians arrived here at 10:30 a.m.The masonic fraternity of Washington, of which he was a member met the remains at the depot and took charge of the funeral which was held in the Methodist Church.The large edifice was packed with the friends of the deceased, and the services were very impressive and solemn, the officiating ministers being Rev. Cres and Cornelison.
"Resolutions of Respect & Condolance"At the December Convocation of Taylor Lodge No. 98 Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the following preamble and resolutions expressing the loss sustained by the lodge and community, and the respect felt for our deceased brother, Peter Fifer, were unanimously adopted and ordered spread on the Lodge records.Whereas, in the order of Providence our esteemed friend and brother, Peter Fifer, has been cut down by the hand of death in the midst of his usefulness, and Whereas, Taylor Lodge No.98 A. F. and A. M. of which the deceased was an active member, feels keenly the loss of one upon whose judgement we always relied, and in whose life we ever witnessed a noble exemplification of the tenets of our institution.Therefore be it resolved that our deep sorrow is hereby expressed at the loss of our departed brother, and while we will sadly miss the cheer of his presence, the wisdom of his counsels, and the benigninfluence of his exemplary life, yet we bow in submission to the mysterious Providence who ordered all things for the best.Resolved, that the sympathies of Taylor Lodge No. 98 be hereby conveyed to the bereaved family of our departed brother with the sincere prayer that He who doeth all things well, may sustain them in their hour of darkness and afflication.Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family of our deceased Brother, that they be spread upon the minutes of the lodge, that they be published in our city paper and that in token of our respect for the memory of the deceased, the lodge be draped in mourning for the space of thirty days.Respectfully submitted, J. F. Hoover; I. Zinser; Wm. Jones.

Peter Fifer, residence, Washington, business, Grain and Stock Dealer, nativity, Rockingham Co., VA, when came to county, 1842.
Peter Fiffer was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, on the 21st of January, 1821 and in 1835 moved with his mother to the state of Ohio and settled in Preble County. Here Peter commenced to farm on rented land and remained seven years. He then emigrated to the state of Illinois and settled in Washington Township, Tazewell County, where he again engaged in farming on rented land, one year, and then moved to Walnut Grove, in Woodford County and carried on farming until the fall of 1846. He then removed to the town of Washington, Tazewell County, and engaged in teaming and buying grain, and all other produce that was then to be bought, and with his own teams would haul the same to the Illinois river, and either sell to speculators or ship to market. In this business he was engaged for ten years, and prospered well. In the fall of 1843, he was joined in marriage to Miss Mary Jane Curtis, who was born in Pennsylvania, about the year 1825, and moved with her parents to the state of Illinois in 1832. In the fall of 1856, Mr. Fiffer engaged in the general mercantile and grain business, in company with Rupert, Allen & Martin, in the town of Washington, and did a heavy business for about one year, when the firm failed, and Mr. Fiffer suffered a heavy loss. He then engaged as clerk and salesman for R. C. Dement, for one year, and then engaged in mercantile business for himself, and prospered well for two years, and then gave his time and attention exclusively to the grain and stock business, and has extensively and successfully engaged in buying and shipping all kinds of grain and stock ever since.
Mr. Fiffer commenced his course in life a very poor boy, and has suffered some very heavy losses on account of the bad conduct of those he has been engaged in business with, but through a steady course of industry, economy, and honest dealings with all men, has retained the confidence of the community and preserved his credit unimpaired; and with close application to business and many self denials, has become one of the most popular business men and heavy property holders of this community. He is well and favorably known for his prompt and correct business abilities, which is the cause of holding many of the important offices of both township and county. In all these capacities he discharged his official duties with credit to himself and full satisfaction to his constituents, and it may well be said that Mr. Fiffer is, and has always been, one of the live and enterprising men of this community. He has done as much, perhaps, to improve the prosperity of this town and county as any other man, and is entitled to much praise for his good citizenship.
History of Tazewell County, Illinois, Chapman, Chicago, 1879, page 684.
Peter Fifer, grain broker, was born in Rockingham Co., VA January 21, 1821, and emigrated to this county in the spring of 1842, where he engaged in farming for some years, when he commenced buying grain and stock, opening the grain house of Fifer & Co., at Peoria, in 1866, which is still in successful operation. He also has a sawmill in operation in this city, where he is extensively engaged in business. He was married in 1843, to Miss Mary J. Curtis, a native of Erie Co., PA, by whom he has four children-Cordelia, Inez, Charles M., and Ellie. Mr. F. is among the foremost of the business men of this city, and was the people's choice to fill the Mayor's chair in March, 1877, at which time the city was incorporated; was also elected Supervisor April 15, 1879, and has always been identified with the interests of the town and county.
