Wenham, Essex County, Massachusetts was settled in 1636. The first settlers called it Enon. It was officially set off from the Town of Salem on May 10, 1643,

Joseph Fiske was born July 16, 165 in Wenham, Essex County, Massachusetts. His parents were William Fiske and Bridget Muskett.

Joseph married Elizabeth Bartram Hammond on May 22, 1677. She was William Hammond's widow. Elizabeth was born about 1654 in Salem. Her parents were William Bartram and Sarah Johnson. Elizabeth married William Hammond (1624-1675) on July 9, 1672 in Swansea, Bristol County, Massachusetts. Their children were Elizabeth Hammond (1673) and William Hammond (1675).

  •   Joseph Fiske, third son of William, the Emigrant, settled in Lynn, Mass., where he married Elizabeth Hamar, in 1677, and had by her a son named Joseph, born in 1678. He removed to Ipswich, and died there, but in what year is not known. His son Joseph also deceased there, May 24, 1731. Whether there were other children, or any descendants in the third generation, does not appear by any record within reach. In Savage's Genealogical Dictionary he is said to have had a second wife, Susan, and a daughter of the same came, but in this case the author evidently confounds Joseph Fiske, Sen., with his nephew Joseph, a son of Dea. William, of Wenham, who removed to Ipswich about 1700, and there had a family, by wife Susan Warner. (from The Fiske Family by Albert Augustus Fiske)
