Clinton Fisk was born on December 8, 1828 to Benjamin Bigford and Lydia Aldrich Fisk in Western New York, near the Erie Canal.  His parents moved to Michigan Territory while their son was an infant.  The death of Benjamin Fisk plunged the family into poverty.  Fisk eventually established himself as a small banker in Coldwater, Michigan.  In 1850, he married Jeannette Crippen.
