He was a son of Nathan Fish, who served in the war of the Revolution for eight years. Nathan Fish's father was born in Wales, and with two other brothers was stolen and sold to planters, and sent to different States. Mason Fish was reared in the State of New York, and at the age of twenty-seven years was married in Warren County, Pennsylvania, to Miss Clarrissa Lyon, who was born in Onondaga County, New York.

Mason Fish lived in Pennsylvania for thirteen years after his marriage, and then removed to Summit County, Ohio, where he lived six or eight years. He then went to Kane County, Illinois, and made his home there for two or three years. His next move was to Grant County, Wisconsin, in which place he resided until 1867, when he came to Clay Township, Shelby County, where he lived until his death, which occurred September 16, 1878. He and his wife reared nine children -- Rumina, Ed. F., Henry, Anna, Mary (who died in 1876), John, George M., Russell G., and Darliska.
