Biography

Levi Fish, born 31 Jul 1822, was the fifth and final child of Moses Fish and Elizabeth Brainard [1].

He married Elizabeth M. Sawtell (1827 - 1911). They filed their intent to marry on 28 April 1846 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio [2], then proceeded to marry on 4 June [3]. In these records, Elizabeth is surnamed Sawtell, as she was an adopted child of Mary Matilda (Fish, daughter of Ebenezer Fish Jr. (abt.1792-1880)) and her first husband, Benjamin Sawtell. The means by which the surname 'Mosey' became attached to Elizabeth in her online memorial site [4] is not yet evident.

The following children are listed in their online websites:

  • Maria A. Fish, 5 Jan 1847 – 19 Oct 1916; married Dewitt Clinton Luse [5]
  • Fredrick W. Fish. 13 Jul 1856 – 13 Dec 1935; married Anna M. Reed [6]
  • Ida Viola Fish, 1 Jul 1867 – 28 Apr 1937; married Hiram J. Corless [7]

Levi Fish passed away in Quincy, Michigan, 27 Aug 1909. His grave is in Lake View Cemetery, Quincy, Branch County, Michigan, USA [8].

Note: The birth data in the header panel of his F-A-G memorial site are incorrect regarding his birth year. He could not have been born on the specified date in 1821, as it presents a gestational conflict with his brother Daniel.
