Fiske, Richard

Abt 1485 -

• Name	Fiske, Richard
  Born	Abt 1485	of Laxfield,Suffolk,Eng
  Gender	Male
  Notes	BIRTH: Although there is no absolute proof that Richard is the son of Geoffrey Fiske, considerable circumstantial evidence is found in the work of G. Andrews Moriarty, who studied the Fiskes of Suffolk in exhaustive detail. From Moriarty's "The Fiske Family," NEHGR, 92(1938):288 (FHL #974 B2ne): "Now we find no Fiskes in Laxfield in the 16th century who were not descendants of Simon Fiske who died in 1463/4. It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that Richard was also a descendant of Simon, in which case he must have been a great grandson in order to square with the known chronology of the family. On examination, the families of the grandsons of Simon show that all their children are known with the exception of the family of Geoffrey Fiske.... Of the latter's family we know only of his son John (named as such in the will of 'Sir' John Fiske, the testator of 1535). It is reasonable to suppose that this Geoffrey had other children and that Richard is one of them. This idea is greatly stengthened by the fact that Richard named his fourth son, according to Candler, Geoffrey - a name which again appears in the family of Richard's son Robert. It would seem, accordingly, both by elimination and the repetition of the name Geoffrey in the family of Richard, that the latter must have been a son of Geoffrey (son of Geoffrey the 1504 testator) and the great-grandson of the first Simon." Date and place of birth are approximations. ~LDS ORDINANCES BEP: IGI
