The original ancestor of the Fischbachs was a prominent ironmaster, TIEL VAN FISCHBACH, born about 1415-1420, who was Chief Justice of the District Court of Freudenberg, and official representative of the Count of Nassau-Siegen in that District. (Nassau-Siegen lies about fifty miles east of Cologne, Germany. Reference Note 'a': GERMANNA RECORD No. 4 and No. 5).

CONFLICT: Ancestral File 1996 indicated married before to SCHRAM and that she died in 1638. Her son was born in 1644. Dates don't agree.
