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.

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."

The descendancy of Joseph Fish was provided by a fellow genealogist who is highly reliable.

The following excerpt taken from "History of the Fish Family" by Cynthia Fish Hunt:
"Joseph Fish was the fourth son of Joseph and Abigail Lathrop Fish and was born in Montville, New London Co., Conn March 13, 1784. When quite a lad he came with his parents into the state of New York settling in Little Falls, Herkermer Co., where they kept tavern in a double log house. When Joseph became of age he left home to make his own way in the world, bidding the family goodbye and never saw his mother again, for she died soon after.
He went into Onondaga County, where the city of Syracuse now stands and was engaged in boiling salt for a time. Eventually he went into the town of Otisco where his brother Uriah had located a farm and began making improvements. He there made himself useful in wielding the axe for he was an expert chopper and the conutry was almost an unbroken wilderness. In the course of time he formed new acquaintances for he was of a genial nature and fond of company.
Very soon the adloining town of Marcellus held a strong attraction for him in the person of Cynthia Barrows, whose acquaintance he had made and who eventually became his wife."

See Cynthia Barrows for more excerpts from Cynthia Fish Hunt.

-Also-

There is an article written by his son Lemuel, about 1884. He only said that Joseph "was born in Connecticut, March 15, 1784 of English descent. He came to Onondaga, NY, while yet a young man in which state he married and there was born to him six sons and six daughters."

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.

Samuel Fish, d 15 Sept 1900, 80 yrs, 11 mon, 20 days
d. Milan b. New York, occupation: manufacturer
Married: Sally A. (Crosby) Fish

Obituary taken from Sandusky Register, page 6, Weds., Sept. 19, 1900:
Mr. Samuel Fish, a well known citizen, passed away at the family residence in East Milan on Saturday morning, Sept. 15, 1900, at the ripe age of 81 years.
Honored and appreciated, after a long well spent, useful and successful life, he has finished his labors in peace and quiet dignity, and now at the close, with loving son and daughters to comfort and sustain it seems as though no element were lacking to a complete life and happy death, the funeral which was largely attended was held from his late home at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, Rev. Hudson Tuttle of Berlin officiating.
Mr. Fish was born at Olisco, Onondaga county, N.Y., Sept. 25, 1819. He was united in marriage with Sally Crosby Feb. 20, 1844, and the family have been residents of East Milan about 56 years. Five children blessed the union, three of whom are living viz. Albert M., Miss Celinda and Mrs. S. E. ?erry of Kansas, all three being with him at the end.
The following poem, a fragrant and beautiful tribute of regard, was written for the occasion by Mrs. Emma Rood Tuttle and read by her at the funeral:

AT HIS FUNERAL
The page is finished; all is said
The mortal part of him can say;
If he be here he cannot speak,
And bid us welcome here today.
This is his last reception. We
Are fain to look on him at rest;
The tumults of our common lives,
No more will move his marble breast
The march grows lonesome, year by year,
The ranks are thinning as we go;
Our steps less buoyant, and the tones
Of march time music soft and slow.
A leaden pressure crowds our hearts,
A mist of tears is in our eyes;
We sense that earthly pleasures end,
But so do earthly miseries.
It seems but yesterday since he
Who now has entered into rest.
Was all alive, and working out
The high hopes prisoned in his breast.
Beside him walked a sweet, true wife,
Around them happy children grew,
Loving each other, loving them,
And loving all things good and true.
The founder of a lovely home,
Where gaunt want never crowded in,
To haunt the inmates. In its wails,
How happy we have often been!
The social gatherings where at
His smiling face and cherry voice
Gave warmest greetings, warmed us through,
And made us friendship's golden choice.
In conversation unrestrained
We talked of heaven and angels too,
Of cramping errors and reforms,
The family old, the broadening new,
We sang our thoughts to joyance hint.
His son was ever reaching up;
Meantime the good wife and the girls
Passed dainty lunch and smoking cup.
All hearts were glad. Those days are lived.
And He with life's dead yesterdays
In memory's graveyard still and sweet.

This entry is somewhat speculative in that it is based upon a record found in the 1880 census records for Berlin Township Erie Co, Ohio which lists Minard M Fish as the father of "Birtie Fish", a boy of age 6 who was born in Berlin Heights, Erie Ohio. This matches our known record of Bert Harold Fish. Bert Fish's 1st marriage license shows his father's name as "Myndrett". Note that the names "Minard" and "Myndert" are apparently common variants. It also lists his mother as Susan Moore which is consistent with the 1880 census.

An article about Albert M Fish, a nephew contains the following about Willis and can be found in "A Standard History of Erie County, Ohio", edited by Hewson L Peek and published in 1916. A copy can be found in the Milan Public Library in Milan, Ohio:
"Willis C was the favorite son, was made heir to the old homestead, but his fine sense of justice prompted him to break the will and by his own election the estate was divided in equal shares amoung all the children; he married but had no descendants."
