General Notes (Husband)
And whence came John? Study indicates that members of the Fisher family from early times resided in a broad area on both sides of the River Waveney, this river being the buondary between Norfolk (the north folk) and Suffolk (the wouth folk). Particularly, Fishers lived in the southwestern adn south central areas of Norfolk, and the northwestern and north central areas of Suffolk. Some were armigerous, displaying a dolphin on their shields.
John's descendant Joshua Fisher (family number 5 in this article), used on documents in New England a seal with arms displayed, these arms being described as azure, a dolphin embowed maiant or (a golden dolphin, bent, swimming on a blue background). similar arms were used in England by Fisher families living in Westleton and Redgrave, Suffolk. Fisher Genealogy, p. vii, mentions Norfolk Fisher families who also had arms wtih dolphins. Meticulous heraldic research might reveal a connection between teh family who came to New England and earlier British Fishers.
John Fisher, in his will dated 27 February 1522/3 adn proved 15 April 1523, requested burial in the churhyard of Wnigfield. He bequeathed modest amounts of money to the church in Wingfield and to the neigboring churches in Syleham, Hoxne, and Stradbroke. Also to the Wingfield church he gave "one quarter of whete & 2 quarters of malte".
The will is extremely difficult to decipher, but it seems clear that John entailed Chickering Hall, with all the lands thereto adjoining, to "William my son... duirn gthetiem of his natural life, and after his decease to remain to John his eldest son and to his heris of his body lawfuly begotten, adn if the foresaid John should decease within age or without heirs as is before rehearsed, then I will it return to Robert his next brother and his heirs and so to remain to the nxt heir male perpetually.
John additionally gave his son William fourteen "kene (milk cows) w'all my stuff of howsehold exxcepte a rede cofer & a payer of shets wiche I geve to R'bt my son." Robert was also to have eight marks. John directed that the following be sold: "my Catell unbequethed," "my come that is in my bernys (barns), ""my moders (mother's) t(enem)ent ... and Chylderhowse," "my t(enem)ent Jodys adn Newclose closse." If son William would buy the first-named tenement adn Chylderhowse, he should have them cheaper than anyone else. If William would buy Newclose close, "I will that he hath it for 6 marks."
The fact that John bequeathed Chickering Hall in his will raises questions. Copinger, under Chickering Manor, has the following entry:
Action by Thomas Herringe against John Fisher, bill stating that lord of Chickering Manor, in teh 3 Hen. VIIII (1514) granted to John Fysher and Christian his wife teh site of Chickering Manor in fee and afterwards this grant was forfeited for waste and the premises were demised by the master and fellows of the late dissolved College of Wingfield being tehn lords of the said manor to Wiliam Budd for a term of years, afterwards vested in pltf by purchase.
This document indicates that John Fisher adn Chrsitian his wife received Chickering in 1514, but afterwards tehy, or probably an assignee, lost it. That John's wife is mentioned in teh transaction likely means that she, rather than he, inherited it or in some way had rights to it. In Manors of Suffolk and Wingfield: its chucrh, castle and college, no mention is made of John Fisher in connection with Chickering Hall or Manor. John had holdings in Chickering Hall when he write his will, and less than two months elapsed between the date adn probate of this will, so he probably did not lose Chickering in that period.
General Notes for Child Robert FISHER
Assumed to be the father of William Fisher who married margerie Bert. Oen can argue that Robert, father of William, was son of William (John) because the will of John entails Chickerign Hall to eldest son William and then to William's eldest son, John, and if John should die without surviving male issue, to "his next brother Robert." Both William's brother Robert and his son Robert were second sons, with reason to settle elsewhere. Since William married in 1551, one certainty is that his father, Robert, must have been old enough to have had a son of marriageable age at that date. Since John, eldest son of William, was under age in 522/3 when the will was written, Robert could have been born as early as about 1505, and thus father of a man who married in 1551. The chrnology in the latter case is tight, however, and we believe that it was John Fisher's son, rather than his grandson, who was father of William Fisher. Moreover, a Robert fisher born ca 1505 would not have been the man of that name on the 1524 Subsidy list. (1997 NEHGR)
Robert Fisher settled in Syleham (cum Essham) where hsi name appears in the 1524 Sbusidy of Suffolk. In January 1547/8 he witnessed the will of Thomas Fulcher of the neighboring parish of Ferssingfield.
A Syleham deed has information about Robert and his son, William. The document is a lease, made 15 January 6 Elizabeth I (1563/4) between Emery Tyleney of Weybread esquire, lord of the manor of Monks Hall in Syleham, on the one hand, and William Fisher of Stradbroke, yeoman, on the other:
Witnesseth, that where the said William Fysher hath the day of the making hereof and holdeth to hi and to his heirs of the said Emery as of the said manor of Monks hall by copy of court roll, according to the custom of the said manor, one acre and half of land lying in Wygnotts Croft in Syleham aforesaid between the way leading to the church of Syleham aforesaid on the north part and the tenement and croft called Wygnotts on teh south part, and one acre of meadow be it more or less lying next the Town meadow otherwise called Tunmnan meadow in Syleham aforesaid between the meadow of the said manor on teh east part adn the meadow late John Carter on the west part, two acres and half of meadow be it more or less in Syleham aforesaid lying in West meadow one pightle called Pyggis pightle otherwise Pogs pihtell in Syleham aforesaid containing by estimation one acre bit it more or less, one piece of meadow in Syleham aforesaid containing by estimation half an acre an dfourteen perches be it more or less, and one piece of meadow in Syleham aforesaid called Small doole containing by estimation half a rood be it more or less, which said premises late were in the tenure of one Robert Fisher Father of the said Wiliam Fisher, deceased.
Mr. Tylney leased, for the sum of 9 po9nds 3 s 4d, the abovesaid lands for one thousand years to Willaiim Fisher, for the yearly rent of 6 1/2 d. Various conidtions of the lease are inculded in teh document.
No probate record has been found for Robert. He was alive when named in the January 1547/8 Fulcher will. The above deed shows that he died before January 1563/4.
Known and possibel children of Robert Fisher, born probably at Syleham. Possibly Margaret adn Robert.
General Notes for Child William FISHER
He inherited Chickering Hall in Wngfield by teh 1522/3 will of his father, which directed that the property should eventually go to his eldest son John (who was under age and therefore born 1503 or later) or, if John died without sons, ti "hisnext brother Robert". William is the only Fisher listed in the 1524 Subsdiy of Wingfield.
