Charles (NMI) Fisher (1790-1849), Charles Fisher, congressman and speaker of the House of Commons was born near Salisbury – Here writing in support of the Democratic Party. NCPedia: “By 1834 Fisher was willing to become a Whig if the Whigs would support Calhoun, but the Whigs were reluctant to oblige and Fisher eventually joined the southern wing of the Democrats. In 1838 he returned to the hustings, again campaigning under the Democratic banner, and defeated Dr. Pleasant Henderson in a bitter congressional contest by fewer than two hundred votes. Once more he took his place on the elections and public lands committees on which he had served long ago.”
