Moses FISKE, a son of Peter and Sarah (Perry) FISK was born at Grafton, Mass., June 11, 1760. He died at Hilham, TN. July 26, 1840. The FISK family of Mass., traces it lineage through Nathan FISKE, the immigrant to the Massachusetts Bay Colony about 1643, who became a Watertown, Massachusetts planter. Before that, the family of FISKE is traced to SYMON FISKE (1400-1443), Lord of the Manor of Standhaugh or ( Stodleigh), Laxfield, England, to Daniel FISKE in 1208.
June (Martin) WELLS of Plain View, TX. describes the FISKE ancestral home in a greeting to her cousin Harriett (Boatman) Oliver of Baxter, TN.: "I took a trip to Europe in September 1985 and you might be interested in knowing that after driving, left-handed, English style, a rent a car from the middle of London, out in the country, about eight-five miles to Laxfield, where I found the old manor house where our ancestors, the FISKES' lived before coming to America. The date on the weather vane was 1602 on top of the large three-story house painted pink, trimmed in yellow, with several old old brik buildings in back and a big barn. A little brook ran through the yard and I was quite impressed with all of it."

Barlow lists Moses Fisk as an educator, surveyor, author, pioneer, road builder, lawyer, postmaster, theologian, musician, land speculator, merchant, and farmer. A renaissance man of Tennessee's Upper Cumberland Region during its frontier era. He founded the Fisk Female Academy at Hilham, Tennessee, in 1806 (the first such institution in the South). Barlow lists Moses as a descendant of Nathan Fiske who emigrated from the County of Suffolk, England, to Watertown in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1640. It shows his lineage can be traced to Daniel Fiske of Laxfield in Suffolk County, England, in 1208. Although in New England the family name was spelled `Fiske", Moses dropped the final `e` from his signature in 1795 when he left Dartmouth College. In England the different spellings included `Fisc,` `Ffiske,` `Fisk,` and `Fiske.`
Children of Moses & Nancy; Celina (1814-1884),Perilla (1815-1831),Sarah (1816-?),Zeda Ann (1818-1867),Ormel (1822-1903),Arkley (1824-1853), Ardelia (1826-?), Elana (1830-?), Elanda (1830-1896), the last two are twins.
