After John Fisher’s death in 1639, Elizabeth married Richard Bayley.

In 1646 the orphans' cattle were in the custody of Richard Bayley.2731

In 1654 Richard "Baily" is father-in-law (step-father) of Stephen Fisher aged 18.2732

John Fisher was listed as a resident of the Eastern Shore in “The Living in Virginia, 1623.”699 In his will, recorded in Northampton Co in 1639/40, John named his wife Elizabeth and three sons, leaving “the plantation I now hold containing 150 acres . . . when he comes of age” to his eldest son John. This son apparently died and the property passed to his brother Stephen for it was next mentioned by Stephen’s daughter Rebecca.2729

John's will was probated 23 Mar 1639/0 in Northampton Co, VA.2730 In his will, written 4 Dec 1639, John Fisher, named a wife Elizabeth and sons John, Stephen and Phillipp. He left his wife Elizabeth his moveable estate, his man servant and hoggs. He left his son John Fisher one cow and 2 yearling heifers and, when of age, the 150 acre planatation which I now hold. Stephen got one cow and Phillipp got one calfe. Witnesses were Henry Armytradinge, Robert Kendall and Phillipp Chapman:
