Joseph Fish

Joseph Fish was among the early settlers of Iron County, Utah; Snowflake, Arizona; and the Mormon Colonies in Mexico. He was mostly self-educated, but well educated. He was a storekeeper, newspaper editor, school teacher, attorney, justice of the peace, sawyer, surveyor, territorial legislator, and historian. His writings have long been valuable resources for later historians and genealogists in researching life in the early days of white settlement of the West. Above all, he was a moral man with solid character.

Please Note:

I have published the best information I have available concerning this family tree. I have not been able to verify the accuracy of all data, but I do work on it when I can. In some cases I have posted contradictory information (ie two different birth dates). This indicates that I have obtained different information from different sources, but have not seen original evidence to verify which is correct. If you identify errors or can clear up contradictions, please notify me. If you can add new information, please let me know. To protect privacy, I do not knowingly publish details on individuals known or assumed to be living.

As you can see, the quality of the photos that I have on this page leave much to be desired. If you have better copies of these photos, please let me know.
