Colquhoun to Fisher relationship

We need help identifying the Colquhoun clan to the Fisher family.

In the words of Emil Fisher's grand-daughter (Leila Moulton Fisher), "He (Lord Calquhoun) was an English lord who fought a duel after duels were outlawed. He fled to the continent and landed in Germany where he married a German woman and took her name. Our ancestor on the Fisher side."

Duels were outlawed in Britain in 1654.

I can find no ancestral information for Emil Fisher (1821-1873).

Has anyone else in either of these families come across a similar story?

If he changed his name, how do we tie the Fisher family to the Colquhouns and when?
