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."
