A FamilySearch profile for Mary Hugg indicates her husband as Samuel M. McMullen and includes a daughter Rebecca McMullen b. 1825.

July 9, 1818, marriage record for Samuel and Mary (Hugg) McMullen (FamilySearch) (Edited local image) and there is also marriage record (Source: "Delaware Vital Records, 1650-1974," database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPQN-GDWS : 20 May 2021), Mary Hugg in entry for Samuel McMullin, 9 Jul 1818; citing Marriage, United States, Delaware Public Archives, Dover; FHL microfilm)
Other items to consider: 1, 2.

Samuel and Mary (Hugg) McMullen/McMullin
(likely parents)

A marriage reference in the probate record of Mary McMullin dated April 1860, shows the marriage (in New Castle, DE) of William Miller and Rebecca McMullin who were married 14 years earlier. This implies that Mary McMullin is the mother of Rebecca and it also shows the variation of the surname McMullen. In Delaware Vital Records, there's a reference for Mary McMullen, wife of Samuel, dead at age 64 on November 29, 1860, buried in the Welsh Tract Baptist Cemetery (and Samuel is buried there, too), reference: New Castle. This death date and the aforementioned probate means this could be the same Mary McMullen and if so, Samuel McMullen is Rebecca McMullen Miller's father.

According to Clyde Ratcliffe, the Nash "family can be found in Norfolk, Va in the 1850 & 1860 census... but I can't find him in the 1870 census." Joseph Nash was an auctioneer and later a bookkeeper. He lived with his brother Nathaniel (3 yrs older) after his wife's death. He died of "Disease of the Heart" and is buried at Elmwood Cemetery, Norfolk, VA. The funeral service was at Granby St. M.E. Church. ↑

According to a letter written to "Gee Gee" on October 11, 1977, "Mary Liz" Fisher (to the left) went to Dayton College. Further, the letter states that her brother, who lived across the river from her, was a Northern sympathizer during the Civil War whose land was spared when the Northern troops invaded the Shenandoah Valley.

 Pvt. Wadsworth "Wads" Harwood Nash

Transferred from Young's Harbor Guards to Norfolk Light Artillery Blues, Norfolk, VA, on April 22, 1861 (Sources: History of Norfolk County, Virginia and Representative Citizens, p. 122; Walters, pp. 241, 289-290). He was captured on April 2, 1865 during the fall of Petersburg, VA, and was transferred to Point Lookout Yankee prison, Maryland, and was released on May 21, 1865 (Sources: Find-A-Grave; Walters, pp. 289-290).

According to his great grandaughter Carolyn Fisher Johnson, he ran a shop in Reisterstown, Maryland.

He was captured on April 2, 1865 during the fall of Petersburg, Virginia, and was transferred to Point Lookout Yankee prison, Maryland, and was released on May 21, 1865 (Source: FindAGrave). His family reportedly came from England. According to Clyde Ratcliffe, in 1868, Charles Nash, Wadsworth's younger brother and also an ancestor to Clyde's son-in-law, wrote, "I was born in Norfolk, Va., Jan 4, 1854 My parents were Joseph and Evelina Nash...When about fourteen years, I went to Baltimore to live with my brother Wadsworth, ten years my senior."

Carolyn Fisher Johnson, my mother, says, "My grandfather [Otto Keiter Fisher] was born in Fishers Hill."

A letter written to "Gee Gee" on October 11, 1977, indicates that Homer, the second eldest child of Charles and Mary (Pifer) Fisher, worked in a machine shop and put his oldest brother "Ottie" (Otto Keiter Fisher) through medical school in Baltimore. As a child, Otto only went through 7th grade but read books during a lengthy recovery from an appendectomy and dissected dead animals. Further, the letter states that Homer had 4 brothers, 3 who went to school: "Ottie" (Otto Keiter Fisher) who was a doctor in Dayton, VA; Ernest who went to Altoona, PA; and Austin who was a boxer at Washington and Lee. It also indicates Lester who died when he was one year old.

Otto's sister Eva Fisher was a nurse:

Wetsel: Dr. Otto Keiter Fisher fathered a son from an affair with a practical nurse Luella Wetsel (who worked for Dr. Fisher ca. 1920-1928), the son given name Charles Wetsel. Luella is the daughter of D.M. Wetsel (Daniel McClelland Wetsel) who founded Wetsel Seed Co. in Harrisonburg, VA. Charles Wetsel approached Amelia Ritchie, daughter of Dr. Fisher, who unfortunately told him to seek out the Wetsel family. (Sources: Carolyn Fisher Johnson [granddaughter of Dr. Fisher], Ellen Ritchie Garber [granddaughter of Dr. Fisher and daughter of Amelia Fisher Ritchie], FamilySearch, Geni.com, Find-A-Grave and Mineral Daily News and Keyser Tribune1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
The case for Luella Wetsel having a child with Dr. Otto Fisher

X

The case for Luella Wetsel having a child with Dr. Otto Keiter Fisher:
  1. Luella Wetsel and Dr. Fisher were lovers (including spending the night together), having an affair:

    Mineral Daily News and Keyser Tribune, September 12, 1928, p. 1:

    "The following was written Tuesday about noon, after Dr. Fisher failed to return on time, by Miss Luella Whetzel. The note did not reach the doctor. It brings out they were lovers as well as she being his nurse. A written history of the whole affair was found tucked away in books. This history seems to have been written from time to time by Miss Whetzel. Read the love note: Hello Sweetheart:
    So sorry you couldn't get back till late. Don't worry. I'm smiling and happy and I know you are. We just as well be here as some place else eating. Our future is ahead, Smile. It won't be long. If you could get in touch with Orville he would free us because he knows it was committed before she came over here. Why don't you send a telegram to J.S. Dyarneter. He's a woonderful friend. He will help us at the trial. Gee I'm happy. Your smiles, too, were close, Darling. Everything is good to me and we will come out O.K. God's hand is over us and I sure missed you today. I'm sleepy and can sleep fine -- You go to sleep. But please smile and don't give up. Please have more courage than ever. You are a wonderful man. I love you. But you're a good man. It won't be long. Darling, keep happy. They can't punish us long when she came here for a nose operation and we sent word back yes. It is good to go to sleep with happy thoughts. I truly love you, oh I do. Write a line to me. I'm feeling good, really. You're a dear. See you soon. Don't give up. I'm with you.
    Your little girl, I love you.
    Luella
    Smile in spite of all, ha.
    P.S. I heard you come in last night. Bless your heart. I slept fine. Did you?

    Mineral Daily News and Keyser Tribune, December 7, 1928, pp. 1, 6: Dr. Fisher cross-examined by Attorney Timberlake:
    "[Dr. Fisher] was asked if he was a married man. He replied yes. Acquainted with Miss Wetsel, yes. In love with her, yes. In love with each other, yes."

  2. Luella Wetsel and Dr. Fisher were together for four years and there are some implications of inappropriate relationship and consequences thereof that appeared over by the time of this article:

    Mineral Daily News and Keyser Tribune, December 4, 1928, p. 2: Luella Wetsel "had been with Dr. Fisher constantly for the four years. ... Then she was asked some questions that cannot be printed, to which she reluctantly made answer. She refused to answer one question relating to her relationship to Dr. Fisher."

  3. Luella Wetsel had a child during the time of her affair with Dr. Fisher and he told her to go forward with having the child (despite having terminated other pregnancies) and even seemed to encourage her to marry him (i.e., the man responsible):

    Mineral Daily News and Keyser Tribune, Keyser, West Virginia, January 19, 1929, pp. 1, 5: January 5, 1929, confession made by Miss Luella Wetsel (A.) to R.A. Welch, Esq. (Q.), and in the presence of Dr. J.W. Wright, pastor of the First United Brethren Church and said city:

    Q. Miss Wetsel, you were with Dr. Fisher for more than four years ...
    Q. Dr. Fisher allowed you to go ahead and give birth to your child?
    A. Yes, sir. When I went back the second time he told me to go ahead with it. One thing he told me to do was to hunt the man and marry him, that it belonged to, and go through with it.

  4. As reported above: Charles Wetsel approached Amelia (Fisher) Ritchie (daughter of Dr. Fisher) to meet the family of his biological father. She turned him away and referred him to the Wetsels. This was unfortunate as my late grandfather (Otto Woodrow Fisher, son of Dr. Fisher) had always wanted to meet his half-brother.

Carolyn Fisher Johnson wrote the following of her father Otto W. Fisher: Daddy was known as "Buddy" as a boy and always by friends and family. He was called "Doc" by those he met in the public and who he worked with. His father was a doctor, maybe "Doc" came from that. His name was often written as O. W. Fisher, Jr., but he was not a Jr. His middle name was Woodrow. His father was Otto Keiter Fisher. My understanding that my grandfather was named for Phillip Otterbein who traveled by horseback, ministering in the Strasburg area. My great grandmother was so impressed with Phillip Otterbein that she named her baby in his honor. "Bow Wow" was the name given by my oldest son. Daddy rocked him and made sounds to the baby. Think the baby was trying to imitate his sound, which sounded like Bow Wow. All 9 of his grandchildren called him that special name.

Otto Woodrow Fisher, or "Bow-Wow" as he was known to his grandchildren, was a model train aficionado and he gave his HO-scale PA engine to his grandson James "Jamie" Arthur Johnson. Jamie played with the train as a child and on up into his high school days. When Jamie went to college, "Bow-Wow" passed away and the train remained safely in a box for years to come. Nearly 25 years later, Jamie would see the train run again with his own children on March 14, 2016.

Otto Woodrow Fisher met Hazel Jane Eckard when she was working in Harrisonburg, VA, as a waitress. He kept showing up and asking her out and she kept saying, "No." However, eventually, she said she would go out with him once if he left her alone. And the rest is history.

"So many memories. I remember when she taught me how to tie my shoe. I remember songs she sang to me. I remember her chocolate chip cookies, her cakes and her home cooking. I remember watermelon in her backyard. I remember her smile, her gentleness, her faith." (Jamie Johnson post on Facebook remembering his grandmother)

In 1940, Otto was an Attendant at a gas service station in Harrisonburg, Virginia, according to 1940 United States Federal Census (local copy). Many people worked in blue-collar industries, like farming or construction. Otto Woodrow's education level was high school, 2nd year when he was working in 1940. Many Americans began working at a young age and never finished high school. Otto Woodrow made $480 annually, working 42 hours a week. Most working Americans made $1,368 a year in 1940, which is $24,970 in today's dollars. He rented his home on 377 W Market Street (local image). $15 of his monthly income went towards his rent. About $1.15 of his paycheck likely went to grocery staples like milk, butter, and eggs. He eventually became a manager and by 1949, he owned his own service station as shared by his daughter Carolyn who stated the following: "When I was little, Daddy was mgr. of Goodyear. He had his own service station when Mary Lou was born [1949]. He lost everything during the flood, when she was a baby. Maybe he went into selling cars after that. Remember when rent went up to $50."

"Hi Carolyn, I remember your Dad (Otto Woodrow Fisher) very well. He and your Mom were wonderful neighbors. I remember that your Dad got me my doll one year for Christmas. That was during the war when my Mom told me after Christmas how hard it was to get a doll. Your Dad was working as a salesman for either Goodrich or Goodyear, I believe. She said he made sure that I had one for Christmas. I'm sure there were other times that he helped us out."
~ Shirley Stover Miller (Facebook Post)

I have many memories of my grandfather "Bow-Wow" (Otto Woodrow Fisher). I remember sitting with him in his recliner watching "Little House on the Prairie", laughing when he had a stuffed bear he carried around which made flatulence noises and when he told the mean neighbors what he thought of them when they were coming down hard on us kids. I remember watermelon in his backyard. I remember eating steak, mashed potatoes and green beans with him while he drank his favorite - iced tea. I remember him sneaking cookies and sharing them. And I remember him showing/telling us to always keep the child in you alive. ~ Jamie Johnson
