There's been a lot of debate about this marriage. Some say her name was Burgess or Barnes, others say she did marry a Nathaniel but it was one from Plymouth and not the Nathaniel of Sandwich.

     Marriage date later than 5 of the 7 children- another gedcom notes this may be Nathaniels second wife- looks like it- need more research. Lester Fish book pg 11 has an unnamed first wife and Lydia being his second wife.

Chapter 12: Morality and Sex
xxx We find very few cases of clearly identified rape. Certainly some of the cases where a man is accused of "attempting the chastity of" someone might have been attempted or actual rape, but the wording frequently leaves room for doubt. One clear cut case was tried on 30 October 1677, when Ambrose Fish was accused that he did "by force carnally know and ravish Lydia Fish, the daughter of Mr. Nathaniel Fish, of Sandwich aforsaid, and against her will." Rape was a capital offense and the "verdict of [p.199] the jury of life and death" was that "if one evidence with concurring cercomstances be good in law, wee find him guilty. But if one evidence, with concurring cercomstances, be not good in law, wee find him not guilty." This apparently meant that Lydia Fish herself was the only witness of the act. The court hedged, sentencing him to be publicly whipped. Lydia was a granddaughter of the Reverend John Miller, and Ambrose Fish was possibly her brother. Another case (mentioned in chapter 6) involved an Indian named Sam, who on 31 October 1682 was found guilty by his own confession and by the jury of raping an English girl, "wickedly abusing the body of Sarah Freeman by laying her downe upon her backe, and entering her body with his. Hee was centanced by the Court to be severly whipt att the post and sent out of the country [colony]." What appears to be attempted rape was described in a presentment of 5 March 1655/56, when Richard Turtall was accused of lascivious carriage toward Ann Hudson, the wife of John Hudson, "taking hold of her coate and inticing her by words, as alsoe by taking out his instrument of nature that hee might prevaile to lye with her in her owne house."19

Baptism:
     Date:   8 MAY 1584

Burial:
     Date:   17 JAN 1672/73

Individual Note:
     From Lester Fish book:
    THOMAS2 FYSHE (John1), son of (1) John and Margaret
(Cradock?) Fysh, was bapt. May 8, 1584; d. at Warwick Jan.
12, 1673/74; m. at Leicester in 1609 (the year Henry Hudson
entered the Hudson River) Mary Sprigge, dau. of William Sprigge
of Lubenham, Leicestershire, where she was b. Jan 24, 1585 (two
years before the birth of Virginia Dare, the first white child born
in America). He was the father of the three brothers, Jonathan,
John, and Nathaniel, that were early settlers of Sandwich, Mass.,
on Cape Cod.
     Thomas seems to have lived for a time at Lubenham, then in
East Farndon, and finally in Great Bowden, the three towns
all lying within a small circle. Just when he moved to Wedge-
nock Park in Warwickshire, where he was a tenant of the Earl
of Warwick, is not known, but he apparently had a business
enterprise in the city of Warwick, and in 1643, he was living in
Good Rest House, a historic home within the limits of the Park.
(When Richard Whitehead "of Windsor upon the Connecticut
River in New England," returned to his native land for a visit,
he became a guest of T. Fysh of Good Rest House, was taken ill
and died there, and his will, dated Apr. 26, 1645, was witnessed
by two of Thomas' children, Cradock and Hester Fishe.)

Individual Note:
     From Lest Fish book:
     Jonathan3 Fish was the immigrant Puritan ancestor of a line
of statesmen, leading down to Congressman Hamilton11 Fish
of New York. At an early age he decided to try his fortune in
the new colony of New England, and with his younger brothers,
John and Nathaniel, he landed at Lynn, Mass., in 1635, at the
age of 25. (See p. 320).

Also note conflict between year of Immigration as either 1635 or 1637 (could he have come over in 1635, went back to england and returned in 1637?)
