Thomas Fish, the third son of John and Margaret, was the father of
Jonathan, John and Nathaniel, the early settlers of Sandwich on Cape
cod. He seems to have lived for a time in the parish of Lubenham, then
in East Farndon then in Great Bowden, which all lie within a small circuit.
Later, he made his home in Wedgenock Park in Warwickshire, when
he apparently had some business or occupation in the city of Warwick.
the Lesicester marriage licesnses give us the name of his wife.

From John Dean Fish' research (see http://www.dallas.net/~mcmanus/fishdea2.htm):

John Fish, the youngest son of John and Margaret, born 1601-2, seems to have been a favorite child of both of his parents. He was executor of his mother's will. He had four children baptized at Great Bowden. He probably went to Warwickshire and located at Wroxhall, being a near neighbor, in that county, of his brother Thomas of Wedgnock Park. "John Fish of Wroxhall", in 1640 had money transactions with Thomas Dexter, an early settler in Lynn and Sandwich, Mass., which were not settled until 1649. He had loaned money to Rev. Ephraim Huit of the Wroxhall Church. Through persecution by the Bishop of Worcester, for non-conformity, Mr. Huit was driven from his church and from England, and came to Hartford, Conn., where he died in 1644. The money for the payment of the debt to John Fish of Wroxhall seems to have been turned over by Mr. Huit's estate and held by the Colonial Treasurer as late as 1686. As this money had not then reached its proper destination, the Huit heirs claimed that it should be returned to them. In this connection the General Court of Connecticut formally refused to pay the 60 pounds to the children of Mrs. Huit, "because this Court are informed that ther is a nephew of Mr. Fish that doth demand it." There is a question of some interest as to the identity of this nephew. He might have been William Fish of Windsor if he were then living, or possibly John Fish of Stonington.

1. A John Fish was reported in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts as early as 1637 in the Caulkins History of New London but nothing more was recorded for him until 1655 in New London, New London County, Connecticut with his wife and children John, Jonathan, and Samuel (note though that Samuel was not born until 1656!). According to his descendant, John D. Fish, John had been in Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut in 1654 and several years prior where he sold his home lot of about 6 acres to John Willcockson Sepember 29, 1655. John removed from New London to Stonington, New London County, Connecticut prior to 1666 where in 1668 he had met the 2 year residence requirement to be acknowledged as an "inhabitant" and was 1 of 43 heads of families enumerated in the colonial census taken that year. For being enumerated, John received 12 acres of land, allotment #5, upon which he was to build within 6 months. John lived there until his death. His son Samuel sold this land to James Dean December 26, 1710 who later sold it to Ebenezer Searies November 8, 1711.

2. John was an acting town clerk August 6, 1674.

3. John and his son Samuel volunteered in 1675 for the Narragansett War or expedition against the Indians under King Philip (King Philip's War). For this effort both received land grants in what became Voluntown, New London County, Connecticut - so named for the three hundred or so volunteers. John's land passed to Samuel and Samuel then passed his land to his son Samuel and the original land of his father he divided between his sons Moses and Aaron who settled there.

4. August 22, 1679 John was unanimously voted schoolmaster for the town of Stonington "to instruct children in reading, writing, arithmetic and grammar as shall be inclined".

5. John was admitted to the First Congregational?Church of Stonington December 5, 1680.

6. John was a land surveyor, laying out public land grants in Stonington. He was associated with his brother-in-law, Gershom Palmer for much of this work in 1680 and 1681. By grant and purchase he became proprietor of considerable tracts of land in Stonington and Groton, New London County, Connecticut and other nearby towns.
