Notes
a. Note:   !Came to Utah 1850, Milo Andrus Company. FISH, HORACE Birth: Canada 1799 Death: UT 1870 Parents: Fish, Joseph Spear, Sarah Wives (Number of Children): Leavitt, Hannah (6) Nauvoo Civil Data: Twelve Mile Grove IL Nauvoo Church Data: Baptized January 21 1846 Endowed Nauvoo Temple 1/21/46 (Seventy) Post-Nauvoo Civil Data: Shoemaker Parowan UT Sources: M16:316; N241 From Lorana Fish Mineer, 4 May 2007 to JVL for WALF: It never ceases to amaze me how many different dates we all come up with. In going through Don Carlos Fish's genealogy sheets there are several differences. For instances: Horace Fish he has born 1799, we have 1800 His burial Parowan, Iron UT which I think we have, md 18 Mar 1824 it is different. He has Hannah Leavitt born Hatley, Quebec, Can. He has daug Anna Maria born 14 May. I never know who is correct as the records have been handed down so many times it makes one wonder. Betsey Jane died 13 Aug. She div 4 Apr 1870. I didn't know if you wanted to kick this around with what I have submitted or make a note. Just a thought. Lorana ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ �tab��tab��tab��tab��tab�HORACE FISH Taken from the Deseret News: Horace Fish was born on the 6�sup�th�/sup� of January, 1799, in Hatley, Stanstead County, Lower Canada (Quebec). He was the youngest son of Joseph Fish who was one of the first that moved from the eastern states into that locality. Horace was married to Hannah Leavitt by whom he had six children. He first heard the gospel in Canada in the year 1836, himself and family left their home for the purpose of gathering with the Saints in 1837, although he had not been baptized and did not become a member of the church until two years later. He had never joined any denomination previous to his becoming a Latter Day Saint. He settled in Will County, Illinois, and remained there until 1840 when he removed to Nauvoo. He there labored on the temple for the building up of that place until the early part of 1846 when he removed with the saints to the west. He remained at Council Point until 1850 when he again removed and came to the mountains. He has been a resident of Parowan City for the last seventeen years, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was ever faithful to the trust reposed in him, and led an honest and industrious life, one worthy of imitation. He died in full faith of the gospel and a hope of a glorious resurrection, he was at peace with all mankind and did not fear for the future.

Email from Miss Laury Walkey on 17 Mar 2007 to JVL for WALF: Hi, I recently found some information which is slightly different than what is in the big database and thought I would forward it.

[signed] Horace FISH, Hannah LEAVITT, Lemuel FISH, John LEAVITT. (The word "Spinster" is written above "minor" and "both", obviously added in after the entry was written.)
