Troll!

I think we have to believe the author. As well as Google, I checked a
database of U.S. archive collections and the Dictionary of National
Biography, and found no entry for Whitcher.

I have requested a dictionary of New Hampshire place names from another
library and will report on what I find.

Completely unscholarly, but the AMC says Fishin' Jimmy was a real guy:

Nice work, Bill. Thanks.

You knew you'd get a rise out of that cast, didn'tcha?

I'm a pro. :)
