FISHER FAMILY FROM TOPO

Fisher is a surname that shows in Topo, in the 17 Century. First one of the name was Manuel Pereira Teixeira Fisher, who was a fisherman. There were 2 other men named Fisher, one uncle and the other nephew, both from England, the nephew settled in Faial and the uncle in Terceira island. Uncle and nephew don't seem to be related to Manuel Pereira Teixeira Fisher because the three of them lived in the same time frame. Manuel was a fisherman. It´s thought that Manuel Pereira Teixeira Fisher worked for the uncle Fisher and took the surname after. Or could it be from Fisher-man?
