ROBERT FISKE m. May 27, 1718, Mary Stimpson, of Reading. In 1711, he was a subscriber for the purchase of the Common. He was ad. to the ch. 1736. His residence was on Hancock st. at or near the spot where Joseph F. Simonds now resides. Here his father David lived before him; and hence this must have been one of the first settled places in the township. The present, which is probably the second house on this spot, was erected in 1732. Robert Fiske was a physician, and probably the first of the profession in the place.

GENEALOGICAL REGISTER.
His wife survived him a few years, and d. Feb. 11, 1757. He d. April 18, 1753. The inventory sheds light upon the manners and customs of the age. Among other things, we find the following : " Hat and wig, 100s. Arms - yellow stock gun, £8 10s .; little gun, £5; earbine, 50s .; brass pistols, 50s. ; rapier and belt, 12s .; three staves, 20s. ; two cans and two piggens, 15s. ; one loom, quill wheel and warping bars, 50s. ; two pair of snow shoes, 30s. Books - General Practice of Physic, 30s. ; English Dispensatory or Synop- sis of Medicine, 30s. The Structure and Condition of Bones, 15s." By these items, it will be seen that the doctor was quite as well armed for the art of war as for the art of healing.

+Joseph, b. Oct. 18, 1726 ; m. Hepsibah Raymond.
38 John, b. Nov. 8, 1731. He studied medicine, but it is doubtful whether he practiced to any extent. We find no account of his marriage, or children, or death. He was of Lex. in 1757, when Joseph Fiske, and John Fiske, physicians, heirs of Dr. Robert Fiske, sold land to Jonas Parker. John Fiske, of Lex. was in the French and Indian war, 1754.

Jonathan, b. March 20, 1734; m. Sept. 4, 1755, Abigail Locke, of Woburn. She was dan. of William and Jemima (Russell) Locke, who resided near the line of Lexington. We find no account of Jonathan Fiske, or family. He was of Lex. in 1752, when for a consideration he relinquished his right to his mother's thirds.
+David, b. March 8, 1737 ; m. Elizabeth Blodgett.

EBENEZER FISKE m. Dec. 4, 1718, Grace Harrington, of Wat., by whom he had a child, which d. Aug. 25, 1721, and she d. four days after, aged 26. He m. second, Bethia Muzzy, dau. of Benj. and Sarah Muzzy. She d. Nov. 19, 1774, aged 74; and he d. Dec. 19, 1775. The monumental stone in the Lex. old yard, has the hon- orable prefix of Lieut. to the name of Ebenezer Fiske. He appears to have been popular in his day, having been called to fill many offices in the town. He was selectman ten years between 1739 and 1758: He resided on the road to Concord, a little more than a mile from the Common, at the easterly side of a large swell of land, which from his residenee and ownership has taken the name of "Fiske Hill." It was at this house that the gallant Hayward, of Acton, met a British soldier coming from the well, between whom shots were exchanged, with fatal effeet on both sides.

HISTORY OF LEXINGTON.

ROBERT FISKE m. Betty -. She d. Dec. 14, 1770. There is no record of his death ; but as he was in Lex. in 1764, and she was a wid. in 1767, he must have d. between those periods. In 1767 wid. Betty Fiske bought eighty acres of land in Lex. bounded easterly on Wo. line, and westerly by land of Lemuel Simonds. Her will, dated Dec. 4, 1770, and proved Sept., 1771, mentions sons Robert, John, and David, and dau. Betty and Ruth. The record of this family is very defective. Robert Fiske, like his father, was a physician by profession, and appears to have led rather a wandering life. In 1760 he was in the French war, in 1757 he was in Wo., and in 1764, he came to Lex., when we find this entry, " Dr. Fiske and family came last from Woburn."

Hle was a physician, and successor to his father, who d. about the time he commenced practice. He administered upon his father's estate, and resided in the same house. He probably had other children besides those named below, as the imperfect records speak of the death of at least one of his infant children.

DAVID FISKE m. June 22, 1760, Elizabeth Blodgett. Ile was a weaver, and, to distinguish him from others of the same name, he was called " Weaver David." He was famous as a hunter. Though the wild game was not very plenty in his day, he contributed greatly to thin off the deer, bears, &c. He ran down and killed a stately buek on the hill over which the Burlington road ran, and hence it has taken the name of " Buck's Hill." He has left no record of his family ; though from tradition, and intimations in the records, he must have had at least three children. He d. July 20, 1815.

They had five children b. in Watertown, two of whom d. young.
