Notes |
- BIOGRAPHY: Came to Ohio in 1812 with his cousins, Moses and Ebenezer. First white settler west of the Cuyahoga (in Brooklyn).
Erected his cabin at the the corner of what is now Pearl Street and Mapledale Avenue. James' log house cost him $18. "Until his first crops came in, he worked in Newburgh for 50 cents a day to feed his family. His wife wove coverlets to help out." His son, Isaiah Wilcox Fish, was the first white child born west of the Cuyahoga River.
