Unknown Fiske (Fisc)

Myrtle Stevens Hyde, A Re-Examination of the Fiske Families of Suffolk, England, Ancestral to Some Early New England Families (Boston, MA: NEHGS, 2016) 170:225

Hugh Fiske, born say 1370, of Laxfield was probably a grandson of the Hugh Fiske named in Laxfield records in 1340–1341[15] and 1345/6.[citing Register 87:218]. However, his parents and spouse are unknown.

There is absolutely no evidence he was the son of Daniel, lord of the manor of Stadhaugh, parish of Laxford, county of Suffolk, England, in the reigns of Henry IV and VI (1399-1422). This is pure fantasy.

Confirmation by King John, May 1, 1208, to the men of Laxfield of land in the park of Digneveton; granted by the Duke of Loraine. The following are the names of those to whom the grant was made: Robert Garenoise, Eustace Percario, Henry de la Hose, Walter de Holoc, William son of Robert, William Daniel, Jeffrey Daniel and Daniel their brother, Daniel Cuppario, Brithmare son of Brithwalden, Stephen Proest, Stephen Archer, Eustace son of Philip, Melvine wife of Roger Gadermod, Picot son of William, Bernard son of Roger, Edmund son of Robert, Jordan son of Robert, William son of Gilbert, Robert son of Brithmar, Simon son of edric, William Odonis, Godfrey and Herbert, Robert son of Jeffrey, Osbert a clerk, Ralph a clerk, Hadebrand Haiward, Robert son of William, Simon son of Turstan, Brithmar son of Godwin, Roger Haiward, Richard Haddoc, Reignald son of Godwin, and Robert and Daniel his brothers, John Emelin, Johnson of Roger, William Wudewell, Roger Crespin, Henry son of Ade, Roger Hunne, Matilda wife of Gilbert, Ernest de Radbrooke, and Robert his brother, Gerald son of Adwin, and DANIEL FISC.

The Fiscs, or Fiskes, of England, FISKE are recorded as far back as May, 1208, when the Duke of Lorraine granted land in Digneveton Park to the "Men of Laxfield," the list including one Daniel Fisc. It is supposed that this was the paternal grandfather of Lord Symond Fiske, from whom the American Fiskes are readily traced, and to him for the purposes of this sketch we give the designation of the first known generation.

• Fisk/e Family Association
• Fisk and Fiske Descendents in America Genealogist and site author Alan Magary notes: "This register includes most male descendants of Simon Fiske born before 1776 in America. It is still a work in progress and is by no means complete. The purpose of the register is to document the largely undocumented factoids contained in the principal Fiske-Fisk Genealogy (by F. C. Pierce) and correct as many errors in that outrageously error-prone work as possible... Pierce was not a family genealogist in search of the pure truth. He was a journalist with a sideline. In order to drum up orders for his books, Pierce had the annoying habit of forcing links that did not exist..." and "You should pay little attention to whether the surname is spelled Fisk or Fiske, and you will have to look in both lists."
