Thomas Fish (1755 in North Carolina - August 13, 1840 in Mt. Vernon, Rockcastle County, Kentucky), the grandfather of Marcinda W. Fish (first wife of Judge John Evans Carson), served in the Revolutionary War and was a Justice of the Peace in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. His son, Jesse Fish, in a 1869 letter said Thomas Fish joined the army as a volunteer and served a tour of duty on an expedition against the Tories and Indians who were being very troublesome to the frontier settlers in that part of the country during the time of the old Revolutionary war. After his return from the army he frequently was speaking of having marched through a village then in North Carolina called Moravian Town where he saw a Tory man hanging by the neck and from appearance had been in that condition for a day or two and the soldiers were not permitted to take him down in order that he might be buried.
