Notes:

The death certificate of Joseph Fisher states that his father Frank Fisher was born in Kora, Germany. (The writing is very legible.)

After the village of Fulda, Ohio was laid out in the mid 1850s, Francis Fisher bought a lot and erected the first house. He ran a saloon, which his wife continuted after his death. The family was also engaged in brewing.

In 1860, 30 year old brewer Francis Fisher lived in Enoch Twp., Noble Co., Ohio with his wife Margaret and their three young children, Margaret (3), Elizabeth (2), and John (1). Neighboring families in the census were Anton Kress and Maurice Hohman.

At the time of the 1870 census, Francis Fisher (42) was still living in Enoch Twp. with his wife Margaret (33) and children Elizabeth (11), John (10), Ferdinand (8), Kathrina (6), Joseph (4), and Barbara (1). Francis Fisher's occupation was "brewer and cooper." (A cooper is a barrel-maker.) Francis was born in Bavaria, his wife in Virginia and the children in Ohio. The oldest three children attended school. The family that preceded the Fisher household in the census was that of Eve Clever [Kluber]. The next dwelling in the census was vacant, followed by 23 year old shoemaker August Dimmerling, who lived alone.

In 1910, the census taker who enumerated the household of Francis Fisher's son John appears to have misunderstood the census directions. Although both John Fisher his wife Mary were born in Ohio, he wrote "1847." He indicated that John was a naturalized citizen, but Mary was not a citizen. The census taker made this mistake for everyone on in the district whose parents were of foreign birth. It appears that the immigration information refers to the householders' parents.

Franz married Margaret Hupp on 28 Oct 1856 in Ohio, USA. Margaret (daughter of Johannes Heinrich Hupp and Maria Anna Franziska Jahn) was born on 10 Oct 1838 in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia, USA; died in 1897 in Fulda, Enoch Township, Noble County, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

BIOGRAPHY: http://www.fuldaohio.com/genealogy/pafg102.htm#4097
The "History of Noble County, Ohio, 1887" lists Michael Schott as one of the early (c. 1840s?) settlers of Enoch Township.

At the time of the 1850 census, 26 year old German born farmer lived in Enoch Twp., Monroe County, Ohio with his 24 year old wife Elizabeth (also born in Germany). The children -- both born in Ohio -- were Catherine (3) and Philip (1). The adjacent households in the census were those of tailor John C. Baily and Nicholas Schott

John Haren, great-grandson of Michael's daughter Mary Schott Weisent, tells this story about the Schott family's barn:

Michael Schott and his brothers built the barn after building another one for someone else so that they would have money to build it and could do the learning on some one else?s barn. It was still known as "the new farm," as it replaced the one down the road after the house was burned to the ground after being struck by lightning (possibly in 1852).

They cut the lumber out of logs on a slight angle so that the pores of the timber would always be exposed and then bent one tooth of the circular saw blade over so that it cut a single kerf every 6 inches or so about ¼ inch into the board. This formed its own shingle as every pore was exposed on the face to drain and the top of every pore was open to the kerf under the ledge of the wood above it.

They girdled the trees in the winter when the sap was in the roots and let them dry standing all summer so that all of the pores would be open and the timber would be stable and make drying the boards possible in time to build next spring.

John Haren last saw the barn in the summer of 1972 and it was in superb shape and still without a stitch of paint on it. He brought the dog house home with him. as it was built at the same time and using the same techniques. The dog house donated it to Ella Sharp Museum here Jackson, Michigan around 1980. After around 100 years outdoors it, too, was in great shape. He painted the name ?Watch? on the dog house in honor of the last dog to use it around 1940.

In 1860, 36 year old farmer Michael Shott lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his 36 year old wife Elizabeth and five children: Catherine (16), John (7), Jacob (5), Mary (2), and Nicholas (1). The three older children attended school. Michael was born in "Prupia." (The writing is legible; there is definitely a "p" in the middle of the word. Perhaps this is a reference to Prussia?) The children were all born in Ohio. The adjacent farms in the census were those of Joseph Shob/Shott and Michael's brother Nicholas Shott.

In 1870, Michael Shott (46) still lived in Enoch Twp. with his wife Elizabeth (44) and children John (17), Jacob (15), Mary A. (13), Nicholas (11), Jasper (9), Matilda (7), and Henry (5). Only Nicholas and Jasper attended school. Michael's birthplace is Prussia, and Elizabeth's is Hesse Cassel, according to the census. Neighboring households in the census belonged to William Hesson and John Weisent.

At the time of the 1880 census, widower "Michael Shatts" lived in Enoch Twp. with his four youngest surviving children: Mary Ann (22), Nicholas (20), Casper (16), and Henry (13). The three boys attended school. Michael's farm was located next to those of Frank Schwallie and August Dimmerling Jr. August Dimmerling was married to Michael Schott's niece, Barbara Schott.

In 1900, 76 year old widowed farmer Michael Shott lived on a farm that he owned in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio. Living with him were his son Casper (37), Casper's wife Catherine (33), and Casper's five children: Emma (12), Cora (9), Otilda (6), Roy (2), and William (newborn). Born in Germany, Michael came to America in 1837, when he was about 15 years old. He spoke English, but could not read or write.

Eighty six year old Michael Shott lived alone at the time of the 1910 census.

Michael married Elisabetha Maria Schöppner. Elisabetha was born on 10 Aug 1825 in Mittelkalbach, Hessen; died on 19 Dec 1876 in Noble County, Ohio, USA; was buried in Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception Cemetery, Fulda, Enoch Township, Noble County, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Johannes married Johanna Fauth on 17 Oct 1843 in Saint Philomena Catholic Church, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA. Johanna (daughter of Norbert Fauth and Justina Mürb) was born on 27 May 1819 in Müllenbach, Baden-Baden, Baden; died on 5 May 1904 in Elk Township, Noble County, Ohio, USA; was buried in Saint Henry’s Catholic Cemetery, Harriettsville, Elk Township, Noble County, Ohio, USA.
