Mehitable Fish 
Mehitable was born on July 22nd, 1684 in Newport, , Massachusetts, Or 22 Jul 1684.1 Mehitable's father was Thomas Fish and her mother was Grissel Strange. Her paternal grandparents were Thomas Fish and Mary Sherman; her maternal grandparents were John Strange and Alice Ferre. She had a brother and three sisters, named Preserved, Alice, Grissel and Hope.General Notes
The Mehitable Fish whom William Cornell married MAY have actually been the first cousin to this Mehitable Fish, namely the child of Thomas's brother John and his wife Joanna (Unknown). In Rev. John Cornell's CORNELL FAMILY, he states that in 1773 in his will Thomas Fish of Dartmouth gives 20L to his daughter Mehitable Cornell, wife of William. When I look at Austin's DICTIONARY OF RHODE ISLAND GENEALOGY, it appears to me that it is John, Thomas's brother, giving the same amount to HIS daughter in 1737.
