Buried 14 May 1633, St. James, South Elmham, Suffolk, Eng., as Goodman Fyske. See G. Andrews Moriarty, "The Fiske Family," (part 2) in New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. 87 (1933), pp. 40-45., at 45.

Son of William Fyske/Fiske and Anna Anstye/Austye. 4 x Great Grandson of Lord Symond Ffyske and Lady Susannah Smyth Ffyske, Born in St. James, South Elmham, Suffolk, England circa 1580. He married Anne Lawter/Lantersee, dau of Robert Lawter/Lantersee and Mary Fyske/Fiske. John died in 1633, his residence, St. James, So. Elmham, Eng.

John married his 2nd cousin Anne Lawter who died on the voyage over to New England, daughter of Mary Fiske Lawter and granddaughter of William Fiske, page 272, Moriarty, G. Andrews. Genealogical Research in England - The Fiske Family.

"…There were six brothers and three were Papists and three were Protestants. Their ancestors, parents, and granparents, and great-grandparents, as far as history gives an account, are said to have been eminently pious and religious people. Those of Portestant religion were greavously persecuted. One of them, to avoid being burned at the stake, was hid many months in a wood-pile, and afterward half a year in a cellar where he worked by candle light at manufactures and remained undiscovered. But his many hardships shortened his life. In 1637 four of his children, two sons and two daughters, in consequence of the persecuting spirit of that day, left their home and came over to New England and took up their abode in Salem…Their mother died before they arrived in New England. They came well provided with servants and all sorts of tools for husbandry and carpentry, and with provisions for their support for three years, out of which they helped others, whom they found in want and distress…." - Frederick Clifton Pierce, Fiske and Fiske Family, Page 34

Anne died on board ship in 1637, bound for New England. Anne and her children moved to New England to escape religious persecution. Note: These are the four persons of one family, two brothers and two sisters, all married, and who Mather speaks of in the Magnalia, part 3, page 141.
