Autor

Willbur Fisk was a famous American Methodist minister, teacher, and philosopher who lived from August 31, 1792, to February 22, 1839. He led Wesleyan University for the first time. In Vermont, Fisk was born on August 31, 1792, in Guilford, which is near Brattleboro. He was born in Massachusetts and was the son of William Fisk, who came to America from England around 1637. His father, the Hon. Isaiah Fisk (1763-1859), was from Massachusetts. Hannah (1760-1845), his mother, was also from Massachusetts. She came from a family that came to America in 1640 with John Bacon. Isaiah and Hannah Fisk got married on May 2, 1786, and then they went to Guildford, where Isaiah's father, Amos Fisk, had bought land before the American Revolution. Isaiah Jr. was their first child. He was born in 1789 and died when he was a kid in 1793. Polly was born in Brattleboro in 1790. She was their second child. After two years, in 1792, their third child, Willbur, was born. Isaiah and Hannah had a hard time with money because of bad business decisions. They had to move their kids from Guilford to Lyndon, Vermont, which is in Caledonia County and only forty miles from the border between the US and Canada.
