• 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.
