Biography
NOTE: Observe care not to confuse this person with Moses Fish IV (1789-1839), who was born 3 October 1789 at Voluntown, son of Jerusha (Phillips) & Moses Fish, who was the spouse of Susan J. Reynolds.
This Moses Fish, born about 25 Oct 1789 at Groton, Connecticut, was a son of Lydia Fish (1761-1848) and Ebenezer Fish (abt.1757-1827).
His online memorial site enumerates him as the fifth of 10 children, hence providing a slight clue as to the birth order of his siblings.
He married first, 10 May 1814, Elizabeth Brainard, who died Aug. 19, 1823; their children were:
- Eunice Fish (1815-1889), b. Feb. 22, 1815; m. George H. Watrous of Iowa; d. 1889

- Levi Fish (1822-1909), b. July 31, 1822; m. Elizabeth M. Mosey
After his first wife died, Moses Fish married second, 22 Jan 1824 in Brooklyn Twp., Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Harriet Chester [1]. According to Moses's online memorial site, Harriet was a family friend from back in Connecticut. They had 7 children:
- Janette Almira Fish (1825-1893); married Levi W. Watrous (1825 - 1910)
- Harriet Fish (1828-1864); married 18 Nov 1852, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Edward S. Allen
- Moses William Fish (1830-1875); married in 1850 Calista Renette Payne (1830 - 1912)
- Lorenzo Bevnon Fish (1832-1921); married Martha C. Thurston; American Civil War veteran
- William Fish (1835-1864)
- Henry Fish (1838-1873); married 1861 Matilda Wicken
- George Fish (1840-1840)
