Biography

David Fiske is #393 in the Fiske and Fisk family: ... This book tells a rather fanciful story about this branch of the family traveling with Hooker to Windham, Connecticut and dropping the "e" from Fiske. Perhaps this branch of the family did drop the "e." David's birth record uses it, but the printed records for Connecticut (Barbour collection) make no spelling distinctions. However, Thomas Hooker settled Hartford (Connecticut) in 1636, two generations before David went to the town of Windham, which was not settled until the late 1670's.
