The FISH family is first found in Brasher, St. Lawrence County, New York in 1840. They moved first to Michigan (Allegan and Kalamazoo Counties ~1860) and then to Wisconsin in 1866, purchasing what was then known as the "old Barlow Farm", which was just outside of Soldier's Grove. At the time, Verona Fish was nine years old. His father, William, had just returned from the Civil War, where he fought in Company F, of the 19th Michigan Infantry. He served for three years, had been taken as a prisoner of war for a short time after a battle at Thompkin's Station, Tennessee, and was honorably discharged 6/10/1865. He had joined the infantry with Milo Freeman, who was his wife Betsy's brother.

William was originally from Vermont, but the actual location in Vermont is still unknown, except for the fact that it was "at the foot of the Green Mountains".

As you look at the information below, you will see that there are links on all the Fish entries and some of the wives have pages of their own. The Fish links will list known children. The spouse links will show known ancestry for the wives. Every two lines in all tables represents one generation.

Occasionally, you will run into a link to someone else's page. If they do not have a reciprical link set up, you must click "back" or re-enter the address to return to this page.
