FISH, Arch - A Shawnee Indian. He had children with Betsy Wilaquenaho on the Delaware Reserve in Present Kansas. Their children were Eliza Jane Fish and Sarah Ann Fish, whom see.

FISH, Eliza Jane - Revised 25 November 2001. Eliza Jane Fish is the daughter of Arch Fish and Betsy Wilaquenaho Fish-Marshall. We had earlier thought that she was the daughter of Betsy Wilaquenaho and William Marshall. Eliza Jane Fish is No. 961 on the Register of the Delaware Indians Residing in the Cherokee Nation, as a Tribe and Individuals Showing Their Lands, Improvements, Location and Valuations of Improvements in Possession of Them Prior to and on August 4, 1898. This document shows that she died prior to the date of the document. Her husband was shown as Charles Lavin, age 56, but his name is crossed out. Also crossed out is his (or their) land holding of 160 cultivated acres with 160 acres enclosed, valued at $500.00. Mary Ann Tiblow at 76 [born ca.1822] is listed as a sister as is Sarah A. McCommish at 57 [born ca.1841]. This ties all three of these sisters as daughters of Betsy Wilaquenaho (listed as Betsy Marshall, Register No. 962). John Marshall age 41 [born ca.1857] is listed as her nephew. Note a gives the names of the witnesses, Jno. McCracken, Henry Armstrong, H. M. Adams. Note b "Remarks" says "One mile southeast of Silver Lake." The note also says, "See Reg. 939, 963 for improvements." Note c says (crossed out) Nov. 4, 1898, Jan. 2, Apr. 118, 1899. Reg. No. 939 is for Henry Tiblow, deceased and Mary Ann Tiblow (wife) 76. Note b (remarks) says 1/2 mile S. of Willow Springs School House.
