I have the death certificate for my husbands grandfather, and boy do I have a problem. The 1880 Nicholas County Census shows him as John Letcher FISHER, his mother, Malinda Adaline FISHER was living in the home of Jerrard or Jarrett Morgan LONG. Malinda
married Mr. LONG several years later. Now here is my problem, John's death certificate shows that his father was Dock LONG, and that he was born at Meadow Bluff, West Virginia.
The funeral home which handled him shows that his father was James LONG. So who the heck was he and his father. Can anyone help us?
