James Wesley Fisk was the son of Henry Charles Fisk & Julia Ann Stites. His father emigrated from England with his parents John Richard & Mahala Kemp Fisk, and 7 other siblings; his 8th sibling was born on the day they arrived in New York Harbor on 12 Jul 1821 on the Caspian.
James was born in Ohio when his parents, along with the patriarch of the family and several other siblings and their families headed west. They crossed the Mississippi, to homestead land in Marion and Mahaska counties in Iowa.
James married his first wife, Rachel Price in Marion County, possibly a small town called Lake Prairie(now extinct)on 28 Sept 1861. To this union were born:William H(1862-1868),Mary Ellen(1864-1868),Joseph(1868-1875),Charles H(1871-1955),Rose B(1873-),Alice C(1875-),James W(1878-1878).
After Rachel passed away, James married his 2nd wife, Elizabeth Harmson (1849-1934) on 1 Jan 1880, either in Lake Prairie, or Pella, Marion County, Iowa.
Together they had three children: Minnie D Marble (1884-1908), Lulu Ethel Gifford(1887-1981), Queen Bess Strong Nelson(1891-1931). James farmed land in his earlier years then began a tiling business that buried tile under the ground to manage water drainage in fields until retirement.
