1850 Census Georgetown Broadkiln Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware A Ann Fisher, age 16 living with Elizabeth Parker, age 73 in the 1850 Census, Georgetown, pg 13 (you might want this census record instead). Also in the home is James Fisher age 20 and Charles Fisher age 12 (Assuming these are the children of Charles Fisher [Sussex Probate 1843-1846) and Eliza Fisher (Sussex Probate 1846-1847). Living next door is John Fisher, age 22 with wife, Lydia age 23. Ebenezar Holland and Family is on the next page #14.

So Joseph owned a farm worth $1500, and his father still had a farm worth $6600. Also they are living in 1870 in the home of their father because the census shows they are in Broadkill Hundred instead of Lewis and Rehobeth Hundred.

The land was heavily timbered with "fine oak, hickory, walnut, chestnut, locust, poplar and laurel trees," And was given by John Fisher and his wife Grace to their son, George Fisher.
