IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR FANCHER RESEARCHERS
Due to the recent discovery of two earlier generations of Fancher/Fanshaws (circa 1643 to 1720), when you are determining, or recording, a line of descent, it is now necessary to add two additional generations on to the end of previously recorded descendancies.
This particularly applies to the (previously) recorded descendancies in William Hoyt Fancher'sThe Fancher Family, and Paul Buford Fancher's Richard Fancher (1700-1764) of Morris County New Jersey. It also applies to the vast majority of genealogies you will find on the Internet.
A person previously recorded as a Fancher3 now becomes a Fancher5. And the newly discovered first two generations, William, Jr.2 Fanshaw and William1 Fanshaw, are added on to the tail end of all of the descendancies. For example James Knox Polk5 Fancher (James4, Richard3, David2, Richard1), as recorded in Paul Fancher's book, now becomes James Knox Polk7 Fancher (James6, Richard5, David4, Richard3 Fancher, William, Jr.2, William1 Fanshaw).
Yes, we know this can be confusing! But for the sake of accuracy, all lines of descent recorded on this website include these first two (Fanshaw) Fancher American generations:
FANCY - FANCHER - FANSHAW
This lineage contains information on the first two (previously unknown)
generations.
Fanchers have
been in this Country for more than 360 years!
