Kentucky: A History of the State, Perrin, Battle, Kniffin, 4th ed., 1887, Madison County. ALBERT T. FISH was born February 18, 1859, in Rockcastle County, Ky., and is a son of A. T. and Samantha (Haley) Fish, to whom five sons and six daughters were born, and who were also born in Rockcastle County, near Mt. Vernon. The father was a son of Jesse and Eveline (Anderson) Fish, natives of Garrard and Lincoln Counties, respectively. Jesse Fish was born in 1796 and served as surveyor and judge of Rockcastle County, whence he had moved with his parents when a lad. He reared four sons and one daughter by his first marriage. His second wife was Mrs. Mary Butner, whose maiden name was Hubbard. The issue of this second marriage was one son. She had born by her former husband four sons and one daughter. Jesse Fish died in September, 1883, and was a son of Thomas Fish, who married a Givins. They came from Virginia as early as 1790, and settled in Garrard County, afterward in Rockcastle County. They reared a family of seven sons and three daughters. Thomas Fish was of English origin, in politics a Whig, and died at the ripe age of eighty-five. Mrs. Samantha Fish was a daughter of John and Matilda (Lankford) Haley, who were early settlers of Rockcastle County, and reared a large family of children. Mr. Haley was a substantial farmer and slave owner, served as a common soldier in the war of 1812 and died early in life. His widow still survives him. Albert T. Fish was reared on a farm and received such an education as the common schools of his neighborhood afforded, sufficient to enable him to teach in the common schools of Rockcastle. When he arrived at maturity he engaged in the mercantile business at Berea, where he has been successfully engaged ever since. He has the largest and most extensive business in Berea, and by his energies and industry he has made life a success. In February, 1880, he was united in marriage to Jennie Galloway, a daughter of Frank and Arminta (Kerly) Galloway, natives of Madison County. The issue from this happy union was two children, Addie and Grover C. Mrs. Fish is a member of the F. & A. M. and in politics is a Democrat.
