General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Fish

---

Nicholas Fish lived in New York and founded a family of more or less illustri­ous men. He served in the continental army and was a colonel under George Washington. He was wounded in the battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778. In the fanciful picture painted of the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, the features of the man on the black horse are said to be those of Colonel Fish. Colonel Nicholas Fish was a close and trusted friend of George Washington and a life-long friend of his secretary of the treasury, Alexander Hamilton, in whose honor he named his eldest son, Hamilton Fish. Since that time the name has been given to the eldest son of successive generations in the Fish family. See Mackenzie's “Colonial Families of the United States”, Volumes I and V.
