Thank you so much for your response. So far I've found two David Fishes who were in VT by the end of the Revolutionary War--David of Royalton, and my David of Leicester. I will see if the person who is researching David of Royalton has the information you have kindly provided. Re Lewis Spencer Fish and Edgar John Fish: were they from MA or VT? I don't know whether they are from my family, but I belong to a Fish list and in the long process of trying to identify my own family, I began keeping track of other lines. If it is not too much trouble, I'd appreciate the information. Thanks so much!
