He married Elizabeth Muma in 1825. She died in September, 1876. They remained in Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, until 1852, then emigrated to Ohio, and settled in Miller township. Mr. Fishburn now resides in Dauphin. He married Mrs. Margaret Brackbill. By his marriage they had ten children: David, Attics, Catharine (married Henry Shupe), Jacob, Daniel, Elizabeth (married Peter, Beinhour) Mary (married James Chambers), Josiah and Hiram. Samuel has deceased.
The subject of this notice, Hiram Fishburn, was raised on a farm, and remained with his father on the home farm until he was about twenty-seven years of age. He married Miss Nancy E. Smoots, daughter of H. K. Smoots, of Miller township, October, 1868. In 1870 he removed to Milford township. He is a good farmer, and a good citizen. They have two children: Mary Estell, born January 17, 1871, and Olive Odell, born January 1, 1875.
