Joanna Fish
BIRTH 1670
DEATH 1744 (aged 73–74)
Dartmouth, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA
BURIAL
Burial Details Unknown
MEMORIAL ID 163613107

Note: The birth year for Joanna is a close approximation based on the estimated birth dates of her first child (1691) and last child (1714). The year given is likely accurate to within 2-3 years. The death year is the year her will was dated and proved.

Joanna's maiden name has been given as both Knowles and Munson, but I find no evidence given for either. She was married about 1690 to John Fish, the son of Thomas and Mary Fish of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Joanna and John raised twelve children, all of whom reached maturity, and the family lived in Portsmouth as well as Dartmouth, Mass., where both John and Joanna wrote their wills. Joanna wrote hers on 5 April 1744, and it was proved on 10 Dec 1744.

The burial location for Joanna has not been determined.
