    Notes:
    The descendancy of Joseph Fish was provided by a fellow genealogist who is highly reliable.

    The following excerpt taken from "History of the Fish Family" by Cynthia Fish Hunt:
    "Joseph Fish was the fourth son of Joseph and Abigail Lathrop Fish and was born in Montville, New London Co., Conn March 13, 1784. When quite a lad he came with his parents into the state of New York settling in Little Falls, Herkermer Co., where they kept tavern in a double log house. When Joseph became of age he left home to make his own way in the world, bidding the family goodbye and never saw his mother again, for she died soon after.
    He went into Onondaga County, where the city of Syracuse now stands and was engaged in boiling salt for a time. Eventually he went into the town of Otisco where his brother Uriah had located a farm and began making improvements. He there made himself useful in wielding the axe for he was an expert chopper and the conutry was almost an unbroken wilderness. In the course of time he formed new acquaintances for he was of a genial nature and fond of company.
    Very soon the adloining town of Marcellus held a strong attraction for him in the person of Cynthia Barrows, whose acquaintance he had made and who eventually became his wife."

    See Cynthia Barrows for more excerpts from Cynthia Fish Hunt.

    -Also-

    There is an article written by his son Lemuel, about 1884. He only said that Joseph "was born in Connecticut, March 15, 1784 of English descent. He came to Onondaga, NY, while yet a young man in which state he married and there was born to him six sons and six daughters."

  2. Joseph m. Cynthia BARROWS 11 Dec 1806, Marcellus, Onondaga Co., NY. Cynthia b. 10 Nov 1785, Thompson, Windham Co., Connecticut; d. 3 Jan 1864, Smyrna, Ionia Co., Michigan. [Group Sheet]

  3. Cynthia BARROWS b. 10 Nov 1785, Thompson, Windham Co., Connecticut; d. 3 Jan 1864, Smyrna, Ionia Co., Michigan.

    Notes:
    The following excerpt taken from "History of the Fish Family" by Cynthia Fish Hunt:
    "Cynthia Barrows was the oldest child of Lemuel and Abigail Grant Barrows and was born November 10, 1785 in Thompson, Windam County, Conn. where she lived until about five years of age when the family removed to the state of Vermont settling in the town of Bridport, until the subject of this sketch was 17 years old. Her father then removed with his family into the state of New York, making the journey in Mid-winter and crossing some portion of Lake Champlain on the ice. He settled in Onondaga Co. town of Marcellus where he located a tract of 600 acres of land granted him by government for services in the Revolutionary War, by virture of which his descendents are eligible to become Sons and Daughters of the Revolution.
    Col. Barrows settled on his farm and remained there until his death which occurred in the summer of 1843. Miss Cynthia was engaged in teaching school in the summer of 1806. A log house had been built with an open fireplace on one side. Stoves were an unknown luxury in that early day. when engaged with her little group one bright morning in June it suddenly began to grow dark and cold. A fire was kindled for both warmth and light. She then explained to the children the cause of the darkness. There was a total eclipse of the sun which lasted over three minutes...."

Generation: 4
  1. Joseph FISH b. 3 Apr 1752, Norwich, New London Co., Connecticut; d. 1805, New York or Connecticut.

    Notes:
    Uriah's grandson, Albert, had a biography that named Uriah's parents as Joseph and Abigail Fish. The only Joseph and Abigail Fish found in the correct time frame married in Connecticut are Joseph Fish and Abigail Lothrop. This coupled with the following excerpt about another son, Joseph, taken from "History of the Fish Family" by Cynthia Fish Hunt is presented as incomplete but moderately sufficient proof that this couple is indeed the parents of Uriah Fish:

    "Joseph Fish was the fourth son of Joseph and Abigail Lathrop Fish and was born in Montville, New London Co., Conn March 13, 1784. ... He went into Onondaga County, where the city of Syracuse now stands ... Eventually he went into the town of Otisco where his brother Uriah had located a farm ..."

    See the notes under the son Joseph for a more complete quotation.

    One internet source shows his death as: August 8, 1835 age 84 in Little Falls, Herkimer Cty, NY

    The book "Early Connecticut Marriages Prior to 1800", 5th book edited by Rev Frederick W Bailey and published in 1902 lists Joseph Fish and Abigail Lothrop as having married in Bozrah, Connecticut on 7/4/1776. This is the Joseph Fish/Abigail marriage listed in any of this set of books.

  2. Joseph m. Abigail LOTHROP 4 Jul 1776, Bozrah, New London County, Connecticut. Abigail b. 24 Feb 1757, Norwich, New London Co., Connecticut; d. Aft 1805, New York or Connecticut. [Group Sheet]

  3. Abigail LOTHROP b. 24 Feb 1757, Norwich, New London Co., Connecticut; d. Aft 1805, New York or Connecticut.

    Notes:
    An article about Albert M Fish, a great-grandson, can be found in "A Standard History of Erie County, Ohio", edited by Hewson L Peek and published in 1916. A copy can be found in the Milan Public Library in Milan, Ohio. This article mentions Joseph and Abigail. It is suspected her last name may have been Lothrop but no firm evidence exists at this time.

    Certain sources indicate that Joseph and Abigail had at least 4 children, all sons, of which Uriah was in the 1st three.

    Lo-Lathrop Family Memoir lists Abigail as #473 and says:
    "ABIGAIL, born Feb. 24, 1757, and married Joseph Fish, and settled in Pittstown, N. Y."

    Children:
    1. Uriah FISH b. 15 Aug 1780, Hartford, Hartford Co., Connecticut; d. 28 Apr 1863, Otisco, Onondaga Co., New York; bur. Amber Cemetery, Amber, Onondaga Co., New York.
    2. 6. Joseph FISH b. 13 Mar 1784, Montville, New London Co., Connecticut; d. 3 Jun 1862, Ronald, Ionia Co., Michigan; bur. Norvell, Jackson County, Michigan ?.
