Archibald Fisher Timeline


Waiting for mail again :D! It sounds like the Will is the only source document regarding the marriage of  Hugh Forgey and  Catherine Fisher. The Archibald Fisher Will is going to be a great source document, and may have some additional leads. Anxious to get it!
Made the following timeline based on internet research using the Robert Crawford Robertson group sheet sources (I just noticed that Archibald has a wife named Jane in 1777):
Kegley's Virginia frontier: the beginning of the Southwest

Chronicles of the Scotch -Irish Settlement in Virginia 
Kegley's Virginia frontier: the beginning of the Southwest

It sounds like Archibald Fisher received a warrant for land in Sullivan County, TN in 1780.
He received a grant for land in Sullivan County, TN in 1784.
He sold this land in 1788: William Gross in 1788 paid Archibald Fisher "130 pounds cash" for 300 acres in Hawkins County.
