Books w/o Fish


RI FAMILIES: COMPILATION


T. Fish has compiled a number of items into the following Family line:

from Lester Fish's book: p.93 "3 brothers of Tiverton,RI Pardon, Caleb, and Abner Fish all b. Tiverton (RI)...settled in Amenia,NY and Oblong, Dutchess Co,NY ---'must have been sons of (598)William6 or (591) Thomas6 Fish'..." Further, according to Lester... "Pardon b.1751 m. Rhoda ________. Caleb b.1752 m. Deborah Fish (lineage?) in Dutchess Co.,NY Abner Fish was living in Westport in 1833..."

from LDS website: Pardon FISH and Rhoda MOSIER had Caleb FISH (nephew of Caleb and Abner). Caleb FISH b. 5 Jan 1797 m. Hannah ELLSWORTH. Caleb and Hannah had the following children, all born in Lynn, Wyoming County, PA (except Orrin who was born in Lake Carey, Wyoming County, PA):

Orrin FISH 24 Sep 1821
Hannah Mary FISH 10 Dec 1823
Daniel FISH 6 Feb 1825
Hester Ann FISH 10 Oct 1827
Cecelia FISH 3 Jan 1832
Elenor FISH 10 Feb 1830

A D. FISH says:My grandfather was C. C. (Fish) whose father's name is Orrin Fish
Orrin Fish's father is Clarence Webster Fish
Clarence Webster's Father is another Orrin Fish
His father was Kaleb
Kaleb's father was Pardon Fish Jr.
Pardon Fish Jr.'s father was (obviously) Pardon Fish
Pardon Sr.'s father was Ebenezer
Ebenezer's father was Preserved
Note: this family lineage unproven

Speculation: Working it backwards, then Pardon Sr. was born about 1725, Ebenezer about 1700, and Preserved about 1675. Which lines up nicely with the "Preserved FISH b. 3 Jul 1766-23 Jul 1846, married three times" that you have on the bottom of FISHLINE.
