John King Fisher (October 1853 â€" March 11, 1884) was a gunslinger
from the U.S. state of Texas during the heyday of the American Old
West.Fisher was born during October 1853 in Collin County, north of
Dallas, Texas, to Jobe Fisher and the former Lucinda Warren. His
brothers were Jasper and James Fisher. Fisher's mother died when he
was two years old, and his father married a woman named Minerva. After
the Civil War ended, the family moved to Williamson County, near
Austin, where his brother James was then residing.Jobe Fisher was a
cattleman who owned and operated two freight wagons. After the death
of his stepmother Minerva, the Fishers moved to Goliad, west of
Victoria, Texas, where they were joined by his paternal grandmother,
who helped her son raise his children. King Fisher was restless,
handsome, popular with the girls, and prone to running with a tough
crowd. His father sent him to live with his brother James circa 1869.
Some two years later, Fisher was arrested for horse theft and
sentenced to two years in prison. However, because of his youth, he
was released after only a short time that same year.After his release
from prison, Fisher began working as a cowboy, breaking horses.
Because of the incessant raids, lootings, and rapes of Texas ranch and
farm families by bandits, he soon found himself taking part in posse
activities. As a result of his successes in this arena, he fancied
himself as a gunman. Fisher began to dress rather flamboyantly and
carried ivory handled pistols. He became quite proficient with a gun
and began running with a band of outlaws which carried out frequent
raids into Mexico. King Fisher Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
