  • Notes 
    • In the 1850 Federal Census, Rachel Fish is living at Tiverton, RI. Her age is given as 57. In the household is Joseph Fish, 21, a miner; and George Borden, age 12, mentioned in the 1848 will of Rachel's husband as "George Washington Borden who now lives with me." They are living next to John & Judith Manchester and family; probably John is Rachel's brother. On the other side of Rachel is Peace (Bennett) Hambly and family (she is aunt our ancestor Mary Ann Hambly who married Ben Remington).

      Rachel B. Fish, wife of Robert, is mentioned as a sister in the will of Mary Ann Manchester.
