"314. Rev. Phinehas Fiske … b. Wenham, Mass. [Milford, Conn.], Dec. 2, 1682; m. in Saybrook, Conn., July 27, 1710, Lydia Pratt, dau. of John of Essex. Phineas, eldest son of Dr. John Fiske (born in Wenham [Milford], in 1682), graduated at Yale College in 1704, was a tutor there, and for some years acting president, before the institution was removed from Saybrook, in which position he acquired a high reputation as an instructor, and also rendered great service to the churches of the colony, by thoroughly fitting numbers of young men for the Gospel ministry. He received his ordination at Haddam, Conn., in 1714, where he became the colleague and successor of Rev. Jer. Hobart, and died there, after a very successful pastorate of twenty-four years. Rev. Dr. D. D. Field, in his biographies of the early Connecticut clergy, speaks of him in high praise. 'He was a man of piety and wisdom, sound in the faith, pleasant in intercourse, plain in reproof. His talents were solid, rather than brilliant; his sermons better calculated to inform the understanding than to remove the passions. A man of scientific attainments, of good literary abilities, and of true Christian deportment, his name was long remembered with sincere respects, in Haddam.' Rev. Phinehas Fiske was married in Saybrook, and had three daughters who married clergymen. He d. Oct. 14, 1738; res. Haddam, Conn."
