There was a Capt. Jabez Fish, b. 10 Jul 1747, New London, CT & buried at Sheshequin, PA. He lived in the Wilkes Barre, PA area (then part of Connecticut) in the latter 1700's and was involved in the famous Wyoming Massacre of 1778 there. His uncle, Elisha Fish was killed in this battle.

He married Sarah Avery, b. 19 Aug 1747, Preston, CT and buried at Wilkes Barre. Their children were:
