Samuel Fish, born 17 Jul 1751 at Groton, Connecticut, was the second child of Catharine Niles, the first wife of Nathan Fish.
Per the Fish family anthology (1948):
He was a shoemaker in youth, but left for service in Connecticut Volunteers. He wrote [to] his father, "New Haven, Sept. the 16, 1776, we expect to march tomorrow for east Chester." About 1781 he went with wife, two children and brother Nathan, through a trackless forest, on horseback, to Halifax, where he became a farmer. He was a member of the Halifax Baptist Church.
Samuel Fish married Susan Lamb 05 JAN 1777 @ Groton, Connecticut [1]. They had 8 children:
Samuel Fish died 26 Nov 1837 @ Halifax, Vermont. His grave is in Bell Cemetery, Halifax, Windham County, Vermont, USA [2].
Notes
Apparently the above transcribed Fish genealogy account is off by a few years on their move to Vermont, as their first child was born there in 1778 [3].
