of Lewis Chamberlin. His first wife was Mary Hagerman. After Sarah died
Lewis married Anna Fisher sister of Sarah. As you listed the parents of Sarah
and Anna were William Fisher and Charity Youngblood. William Fisher's
father was Peter Fisher. Lewis and Anna are buried in the Baptist church
yard in Flemington, New Jersey.

The only information that I have concerning Alpheus Chamberlin and Catherine
Young is that they are both buried in Amwell Ridge Cemetery, Larison's
Corner, New Jersey.

Sarah Fisher and Lewis Chamberlin are my fifth great-grand parents. I am
descendant from their daughter Gertrude who married Christopher Danberry.

FISHER, SNOOK/WOMBAUGH (var.).

Ann SNOOK, dau. of William (d 1760) married Henry WOMBAUGH. Henry died in
Amwell, intestate, bef. 29 Oct 1787, when Ann was made administrator of his
estate. Fellowbondsman was Philip SNOOK, both of same place. I have the
WOMBAUGH children as Peter, Catherine, Ann, William and Henry.

On 3 Aug 1800, Henry WOMBAUGH (Jr.) married his cousin Rachel SNOOK, daughter
of George Snook. The Officator was Stout. Henry Jr. died before 5 Feb 1808,
when his children Ann and Jacob (under the age of 14) were put under the
guardianship of their mother Rachel. Sureties were provided by William SNOOK
and William DANBURY.

Peter FISHER of Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., left an undated will that was
proved 19 Nov 1821. He named sons James J. Fisher, Cornelius Fisher &
William Fisher; unmarried daus. Charity and Anna Fisher. Daughter Elizabeth,
wife of Mahlon WAMBOUGH was to receive interest from money put in trust
during her life and at her decease, to her sons Fisher and Augustine
