About Barake Scarborough Fisher

'Barak Scarborough Fisher married Mary Butler on February 18, 1761 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania at the Buckingham Meeting House where they were members. Two of their children were noted in the minutes before they moved to Frederick County, Virginia in 1763. When Barak, Mary and the first two children left Bucks County, Pennsylvania and came to Frederick County, Virginia, in 1763, a certificate was read and accepted from the Buckingham monthly meeting at Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for both Mary Butler and Barak Fisher to be accepted into the Back Creek Church at Gainsboro, Frederick County, Virginia.

The family settled on Back Creek near the village of Gainsboro about 9 miles southwest of Winchester, Virginia. According to one biography, it was a time of war with Indians and they had to leave their home several times to seek asylum in more established settlements. He was the White Swan Innkeeper.

Barak Scarborough was described as an "industrious, frugal man" who left "handsome beginnings for his children". He made a will on March 9, 1783. His final illness was a lingering one, "perhaps of an arthmatick nature". Barak died on May 28 1784 in Hopewell, Frederick County, Virginia. He is buried with his wife, Mary Butler Fisher, in the Old Back Creek Meeting House Burial Grounds, Gainsboro, Virginia. There are 9 children named on his gravestone below, 4 sons and 5 daughters. Mary Butler Fisher outlived her husband by many years.
