     Richard Fiske was born say 1480-1485.² He may have died as early as 1524, as he is not listed in the "great Subsidy" taken that year.²
     He was "of the Broadgates" in Laxfield, co. Suffolk, England.¹
     In his first series of articles on the Fiske family, published from October 1932 through July 1934, G. Andrews Moriarty concluded that Richard Fiske's father was either Simon Fiske of Laxfield, co. Suffolk, England, whose will was written 10 July 1536, or Geoffrey Fiske, son of Geoffrey of Laxfield whose will was written 3 May 1504. He concluded that Simon was the more likely candidate, based primarily on two items: (1) one of Simon's sons was named Geoffrey, as was one of Richard's sons; and especially (2) one of Simon's daughters had the uncommon name Gelion, as did one of Richard's granddaughters. However, Moriarty later realized that he had misread Simon's will, and that he in fact did not have a daughter named Gelion. This, together with additional information found after the first articles were published, led to two more articles, published in April and July 1938, in which he concludes that Richard Fiske's father was probably Geoffrey Fiske, and that Richard's birth date was probably about 1480-1485 instead of about 1493.³
