• Notes

  The 1840 Census for Locke, Cayuga County, New York lists an Ira Fish.This appears not to be ours, as this Ira was 40 to 50 years old. From the publishing of the History of Racine and Kenosha counties in1879 we learned that Ira Fish (not mentioned by name, just his sons) wasa poor farmer. The Fish family moved from Scipio, Cayuga County New Yorkto Wisconsin in 1846. They settled on Rock Prairie near Janesville. Wefind the family in the 1850 Census in La Prarie, Rock County. From thiswe find that Ira was born about 1806 in New York and could not read orwrite. Sally A. Fish, his wife was 35 years old, and the mother of 7children ages 6 to 16. The Census also shows a Sarah Fish, age 58 (born about 1792) living inLa Prarie with G. W. Stephens and his wife Sarah. This could possibly bea relation.
