Sarah Ann  McCamish  Rankin shows Arch Fish as her father and Betsy Fish as her mother.

Sarah Ann nee Fish Rankins McCamish (Provided by Bonnie Wear).

We had thought earlier that Sarah Ann (Fish) Rankins McCamish was the daughter of Betsy Wilaquenaho and William Marshall. Sara Ann was born ca.1836-1839 on the Delaware Reserve (present Wyandotte County, Kansas, the daughter of Betsy Wilaquenaho and Arch Fish. Her mother, Betsy Wilaquenaho (possibly Ketchum) was first married to William Marshall and had several children with him. He died in Greene County, Missouri in 1834. Betsy Wilaquenaho had gone with the tribe to the Delaware Reserve, but we do not know whether or not William Marshall ever went to Kansas. In any event, Betsy had at least two children with Arch Fish after William's death, the other child being Eliza Jane Fish. Arch Fish was a Shawnee Indian. We know little about him, but are trying to determine his personal and family data. Sarah Ann married 1. Samuel Rankin and 2. James McCamish/McCommish. Saran Ann was on the list of the Delaware Who Elected to Remain in Kansas and Become U.S. Citizens in 1867 under 1863 Allotment No. 72, but at some point after 1866 she went to Indian Territory (present Oklahoma). Her minor children from the same listing under her name were the following with their 1862 Allotment Numbers: No. 73 Alice Rankin, age 9. No. 1048 Sally Rankin, age 5. Verity P. Hamilton, age 2.

From family data we have the following: Roll Nos. 963/687 Sarah A. Marshall [Fish] 1832 - married 1. Rankin 2. McCamish. [Children:]. ---/685 Alice J. Rankin born 1856. ---689 SallySarah E. 1862. Verily Prudence died early. Richard/Robert MacCamish born 1877.

From the Register of Delaware Residing in the Cherokee Nation 4 August 1898, Sarah A. McCommish is listed as living at age 57 [born ca.1841] under No. 962 Betsy Marshall "dead." (Faye Louise Smith Arellano, Delaware Trails: Some Tribal Records 1842-1907, p. 452) She is also listed in the next entry under No. 963 "living" Sarah Ann Rankins alias Sara McCommish at age 57, with 63 cultivated acres of land, 130 acres not enclosed, value $3,000. Witness were William Clark and Wm. Adams, and Note b (Remarks) At Willow Springs Note c Jan. 2, 1899. Her children: J. Lynch 24. Lizzie Lumbard 32. Richard McCommish 21.

Sarah Ann died 4 August 1898, probably in Oklahoma. From the Cherokee Nation Delaware Roll dated 31 1904 the following data are given: __________________ District, Ketchum, I. T., Sarah A. McCamish age 63, Tribal Enrollment as a Delaware No. 1707 in 1880, tribal enrollment of her father, Arch Fish, _____, listed as a Shaw.[nee] Indian, and her mother Betsy Fish.
