• Notes

  All of the Walter Fish decendancy provided from the notes of Jamie Fish. Note from the HISTORY OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY - Pg 90: "In 1791 Walter Fish came into the Mohawk valley from Bozrah, Connecticut, and settled on the German Flats, which later took on the name of Herkimer. This Walter Fish was a bridge builder and had come here to superintend the construction of heavily timbered covered bridges at certain points across the Mohawk river, and he thus became one of the real pioneers of what has developed into the flourishing and progressive city of Herkimer. In 1793 Walter Fish was married to Jane Whitney' who had come here with her parents from Petersham, Massachusetts, and established their home at Herkimer." 1800 Census Herkimer City, Herkimer County, NY , p.1 Walter Fesh (sic) males 26-44 = 4 (possibly cousins living with him?) females under 10=3, 16-25=1 (looks like 2 other daughters that don't figure in later?) 1810 Census Herkimer County Walter Fish Males: <10=1; 26-44=1 (Walter and possibly Nathaniel Winslow?)

Supposition is that the 80-90 person may have been Joseph Fish, an uncle of Walter.
