BIOGRAPHY:
From "Portrait and Biographical Album of Branch County, Mich." pg.510:
"Levi Fish was but eighteen months old when the sad event of his mother's death deprived him of her care. He was reared on his father's farm until he was seventeen years of age, at which time his father died, and he then went to learn the trade of carpenter and joiner, having four brothers working at the same trade. He was an active, capable, energetic youth, soon gained the mastery of his calling, and in a few years had laid up money enough to become independent, when he married, in April, 1847, Miss Elizabeth Sawtell. She was born in England, and came with her parents to the United States, and they having a large family of children to support, she was adopted by a family by the name of Sawtell, by whom she was raised as their own. Her original name was Mosey."



BIOGRAPHY: An article from the Coldwater, MI newspaper, dated February 28, 1908, that details the life of Levi Fish and Elizabeth Mosey. Per the article, Levi was born in Brooklyn Township, Cuyahoga County Ohio July 31, 1821, the fourth son of twelve children (no mention of parent's names or other sibling's names). He married Elizabeth Mosey, April 30, 1846 (no mention of location, but presumably in Cuyhoga County). Elizabeth was born February 13, 1827 in Yorkshire, England. They came to Branch County, MI on March 15, 1869, where they purchased the land that they still live on (in 1908). At the time of the article, they had lived on the farm near Marble Lake (section 32) for thirty nine years. Levi and Elizabeth had four children, one of whom died in infancy. Those living are Fred Fish of Coldwater, and Mrs. Maria A. Luse and Mrs. Ida Corless, both living near their parents in Quincy, MI. The article also states that five days after the fall of Fort Sumpter, Levi enlisted in the artillery branch of the service. He was at the battle of Carrick's Ford.

The 1860 census lists Levi as being 28 and his wife as 31, but if that were true, then he was only 15 when his first daughter was born. The census is most likely wrong.

In 1870, Levi was living with his daughter, Maria, and son-in-law, DeWitt Luce in Michigan.

"Two other children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer FISH, Johanna (now Mrs. FOWLS), and John Moses married Miss BRAINERD. They endured hardships and discomforts long before enjoying the ordinary pleasures of existence. Fever and ague also added to the trials of the first settlers. Ebenezer was ninety-three when he died."
