751  BENJAMIN6 FISH (Daniel5, Robert4, Thomas3, Alice2, John1) farmer,
Rev. War veteran, son of (582) Daniel and Mary (Tallman) Fish, was
b. Oct. 4, 1739 at Portsmith, RI.  m. Aug 16,1764 Keziah Round of
Rehoboth, MA.  He was a private in Capt. James Briggs' Co., Col.
Freeman's Regt.: Marched Oct. 2, 1777, from Dighton on a secret
expedition to Rhode island.
  It is supposed that he owned a farm in New Ashford, Mass., and
that his father, Daniel5, died there while on a visit. According
to the census of 1790 Benjamin was living in Rehoboth, but he could
have moved there from New Ashford following the death of his father.
However, the author has found no record of him in New Ashford, nor
of the death of Daniel5 there, though his son Isaac6 did live there
and was there in 1790.

62 NATHANIEL3 FISH (Thomas2, John1), son of
(5) Thomas and Mary (Sprigge) Fysh, was b. about the year 1618 and bapt.
June 20, 1619, at East Farndon, Northamptonshire, England;
d. at Sandwich, Mass., in 1693, age about 75.  With his two older
brothers, Jonathan and John, he landed at Lynn, in the Massachusetts
Bay Colony, in 1635, age about 17, and in 1637 the three brothers helped
form a new colony on Cape Cod, which was named Sandwich.  Land was granted
them there, and John and Nathaniel remained upon their farms there until
their death.  It would appear that Nathaniel married more than once, as
the inventory of his estate, taken Mar. 14, 1693/94 and entered at
Plymouth Probate Court, Oct. 4, 1694, mentions his last wife, Lydia Fish,
as sister of John Miller of Yarmouth, Mass.  Another record states that
Nathaniel Fish m. Lydia Miller, sister of John Miller, in 1643.  A Lydia
Miller, dau. of Rev. John and Lydia Miller, was b. Feb. 2, or Apr. 12, 1640,
at Rowley, Mass.  No record of the first wife of Nathaniel3
has been found.
  Nathaniel3 Fish owned one-half of a church pew at Sandwich,
in 1658.  There is record of the birth of seven sons, but by which wife is
not known.  It is quite certain that but two, if any, of them were born
to Lydia, as she was but fifteen when Jonathan was born.
