General Fishburne was William Fishburne, born Sept. 12, 1760 in South Carolina, son of the second William and his wife,Ann; married @ 1783 Sara Snipes. She was daughter of Major William Clay Snipes and Catherine Sanders. Sara was born Feb. 1, 1764, died Feb. 23, 1804. Fishburne then married Mary Clay Snipes Feb. 19, 1805. She was the sister of Sara. He lived in Molcenia near Round O, S.C., a plantation of three to four thousand acres. This info is from the book, "The Fishburne Family of South Carolina," by Henry Fishburne, 35 Lorning Place, Sumter SC 29150. All the descendants of William Fishburne, born 1688 prob. in England. I am in the book, page 193, No. 584. Hope this helps.
