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."

Note from Jamie Fish:

This is a guess on my part that this son is named Nathaniel Winslow, and all info not otherwise documented is entirely my theory. There is a N. Winslow Fish that was buried in the Old Herkimer City Cemetery. His tombstone read: died Apl 6, 1842 aged 36 years. The only other Fish listed in this cemetery was Joseph Fish died Aug 8, 1835 aged 84years (I assume that this was Joseph Fish b. 1752, brother of Nathaniel.) I propose that he (Joseph) lived his last few years in the household of Walter Fish, his nephew, and father of N. Winslow. There is no other record of a N. WInslow Fish in Herkimer County. The youngest son of Walter, Henry H., named one of his sons Winslow, possibly for his older brother? Also see marriage notes for Nathaniel Winslow and notes for Harriet Howell Fish.

Believed to have had twins in 1833 that died at childbirth.

Obituary:
Utica. August 16, 1918 - This city lost one of its oldest citizens when yesterday afternoon Winslow Phelon Fish passed away. He was born in the town of Litchfield 77 years ago but came to this city to reside when a young man. For many years he was engaged with the Gas Company in this city and was a valued employee. For a number of years past he lived a quiet retired life. He is survived by a sister, Miss Grace Fish with whom he lived.
