] | 2024-04-14T22:53:32+00:00 | Thomas Fitch arrived in New England during the Great Migration and made his mark as a founding settler of Norwalk, Connecticut. | en | Miss Nixie | https://www.missnixie.com/thomas-fitch-founding-settler-of-norwalk-connecticut/ | My ancestor, Thomas Fitch, is believed to have arrived in New England during the Great Migration (1620-1640), a significant period when around 80,000 people migrated from England to the American colonies. This era commenced with the arrival of the Pilgrims in the Plymouth Colony in 1620, followed by Puritans establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629. Join me as I delve into Thomas Fitch’s life in England and his contributions to the Connecticut Colony.
Thomas Fitch’s Life in England
Thomas Fitch was born on October 14, 1612, in Bocking, Essex, and was the eldest child of Thomas Fitch Sr. and Anne Reeve. He had eight siblings: Zachary Fitch, John Fitch, James Fitch, Nathaniel Fitch, Jeremy Fitch, Samuel Fitch, Joseph Fitch and Mary Fitch.
On November 1, 1632, Thomas married Anne Stacie. Together they had five children: Thomas Fitch Jr., Sarah Fitch, Ann Fitch, John Fitch and Mary Fitch.
Fitch was a clothier by trade and a landlord. Following his father’s death, he became very wealthy, inheriting multiple houses, buildings, tenements and lands.
Founding Settler of Norwalk, Connecticut
Sources differ on Thomas Fitch’s arrival in New England, with some indicating he arrived in 1638 and settled in Norwalk, Connecticut, while others suggest he emigrated with his wife, children, and mother around 1650.
Despite these discrepancies, Fitch is recognized as a founding settler of Norwalk. His name is engraved on the Founders Stone in the East Norwalk Historical Cemetery, which honours the community’s first settlers, the first of whom arrived in 1649.
Thomas Fitch’s Extensive Property
Thomas Fitch achieved remarkable financial success in Norwalk, becoming its wealthiest citizen with more land holdings than any other settler. In 1652, he purchased a centrally located home on four acres. That same year, he acquired several additional acres of land and was granted four more plots totalling 15 acres and four roods.
During his subsequent years in Norwalk, Fitch continued to acquire land through grants, accumulating more than 35 acres of various terrain types. He also purchased another house lot. Between 1686 and 1688, Fitch aggregated a total of 64 acres across every part of the town.
Involvement in Civic Affairs
Thomas Fitch was one of the most active citizens in civic affairs in Norwalk. He held various important positions, including Norwalk’s Clerk of the Train Band, Recorder of Laws, and Selectman in 1659. Beginning in 1669, he served as King’s Commissioner for 25 years.
Fitch represented Norwalk in the Connecticut General Court in 1673, 1676, 1680 to 1686, 1691 to 1692, and 1694. He also served as Deputy Governor of the colony.

] | 2024-08-07T05:53:36+00:00 | In recent weeks, Dangote Industries Ltd has had its share of run-ins with the Nigerian government. | en | Peoples Gazette Nigeria | https://gazettengr.com/fitch-downgrades-dangotes-creditworthiness-as-tinubus-govt-nnpc-attack-nigerias-largest-conglomerate/ | Fitch Ratings, a reputable international capital company, has reduced the rank of Dangote Industries Limited(DIL) from AA(nga) to B+(nga), citing concerns over the conglomerate’s creditworthiness compounded by Nigeria’s “corporate governance.”
“The downgrade reflects significant deterioration in the group’s liquidity position following lower-than-expected disposal proceeds,” Fitch said in the report released on Monday, adding that Dangote Industries has been placed on Rating Watch Negative (RWN).
“The group has senior secured debt raised at subsidiary levels amounting to USD2.7 billion at end-2023 representing 49% of total group debt,” Fitch said in the report, which also highlighted the blow that naira devaluation dealt Dangote’s enormous dollar-denominated debt. “We do not expect a positive rating action until the company’s liquidity position improves substantially.”
The international rating agency said that Dangote Industries had “immediate debt servicing requirements related to the syndicated loan raised to finance the construction of Dangote Oil Refining Company (DORC)” in Lagos.
Fitch said any further delay in meeting funding requirements would increase Dangote’s chances of defaulting “and lead to further rating downgrade.”
The Fitch report indicated that Dangote Industries recorded a significant loss in the trillions following Nigeria’s naira devaluation, which caused a “mismatch between USD-denominated debt and domestic revenues.”
Specifically, the Nigerian conglomerate suffered a N2.7 trillion in 2023.
Fitch Ratings projected the naira devaluation to continue at a higher rate, which could further push Dangote Industries Ltd down the ranks.
The report said the Dangote refinery underperformed at 50 per cent capacity in the first half of 2024, churning out 325,000 bpd to 375,000 bpd instead of its 650,000 bpd target of refined crude products.
In recent weeks, Dangote Industries Ltd had had its share of run-ins with the Nigerian government over allegations of the attempted monopoly of the oil and gas sector made by oil regulator chief Farouk Ahmed of NMDPRA. | |||||

Colonel Jabez Fitch (1702â1784), son of Major James Fitch and Alice Bradford
Lydia Gale (1699â1753), daughter of Abraham Gale and Sarah Fiske
Jabez, the son of James Fitch, was baptized on 7 June 1702 in Preston, New London County, Connecticut. [1] He died on 31 January 1784, probably in Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut. The Canterbury church records say that Jabez, the son of Major James, married Lydia Gale, the sister of Richard Gale, on 29 May 1722. [2] Captain Jabez married second Elizabeth Darbe on 14 January 1754 in Canterbury. [1] He married third Rebecca Unknown.
Lydia, the daughter of Abraham and Sarah Gale, was born on 9 July 1699 in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. [3, 2:15] Lydia, the wife of Captain Jabez, died on 22 August 1753 in Canterbury. [1]
Lydia apparently came to Canterbury to live with her older brother Richard.
The inscriptions on the gravestones of Jabez and Lydia in the Cleaveland Cemetery in Canterbury say: [4]
Sacred to the memory of Coll. Jabez Fitch who for many years Sustained with integrity & honor the offices of Justice of the Peace & quorum & Judge of Probate. After a long life of usefulness & reputation he fell asleep in Jesus, Jan. 31st, 1784 in the 81st year of his age.
Here Lies ye Body of Mrs Lydia Fitch Late Wife of Jabez Fitch Esq Who Deperted this Life in Hope of a Better Aug 20 AD 1753 in ye 53d year of her age.
Jabez and Lydia owned the covenant on 2 June 1723 in the church in Canterbury. [2] Lydia, the wife of Jabez, was admitted to the church on 11 April 1731; Captain Jabez was admitted in February 1744. [2]
Jabez was a representative from Canterbury to the General Assembly of the Colony of Connecticut 54 times between May 1734 and December 1775. [5]
Jabez was appointed to a committee to audit the colony’s accounts with the treasurer in May 1737. [5] John Dwight of Killingly’s houseâand all his financial recordsâburned on the night after 18 February 1750. In May 1750 the Assembly appointed Jabez Fitch, Esq. of Canterbury to be on a committee to investigate the matter. [5] The report was presented in May 1751. [5] Upon the request of Jabez Fitch, agent for the town of Canterbury, the Assembly appointed a committee to study a boundary dispute between the towns of Canterbury and Windham in May 1751. [5] During his life he was regularly appointed to committees to help solve the colony's disputes.
In October 1738 the Assembly appointed Jabez ensign of the fifth company in the town of Norwich. [5]
In May 1740 Jabez Fitch of Canterbury complained that he had built a bridge over the Quinnabaug River at a cost of 210 pounds and had received only £134-09-00 in subscriptions. The Assembly ruled that he could charge tolls from those who had not paid. [5]
The Assembly appointed Jabez a Justice of the Peace for Windham County for the upcoming year in May 1749 and every year following until May 1755. [5] In May 1756 and every following year until May 1776 the Assembly appointed him Justice of the Peace and Quorum for Windham County for the following year. [5] The Assembly of the State of Connecticut appointed him to this office every year from May 1777 to May 1783. [5]
On 4 February 1754 Jabez Fitch of Canterbury sold the farm he lived on to his son Jabez, Jr. On 4 April 1758 they partitioned the farm. [6]
The Assembly of the colony of Connecticut appointed Jabez a judge of the probate court for the district of Plainfield in Windham County for the following year in May 1759 and every year following until May 1776. [5] The Assembly of the State of Connecticut appointed him to this office every year from May 1777 to May 1783. [5]
In an undated deed, acknowledged on 27 March 1765, Jabez Fitch and Elizabeth Fitchâformerly the widow of William Darbee of Pomfret and now the wife of Jabezâsold 17 acres to Jabez, Jr. [6]
In May 1771 the Assembly appointed Jabez Lieutenant Colonel of the 11th Regiment of Connecticut militia. [5]
Jabez Fitch of Canterbury, being in a “weak and languishing state of body,” made his will on 10 December 1783. He noted that he had never given his son Jabez anything and forgave him 100 pounds of a 110-pound note dated 20 March 1777 he held against him to make him equal to his son Asahel and his three daughters Jerusha, Lydia and Lucy. He also noted that he had given his deceased son Perez, late of Stamford and his deceased daughter Alice, the late wife of Reverend James Cogswell their portions while they were alive, and nothing was due their heirs. The remainder of his estate was to be distributed according to the laws of the state. He appointed his son Jabez his sole administrator. Witnesses testified on 10 February 1784. Inventory, amounting to about 329 pounds was exhibited on 2 April 1784 and accepted on 7 April 1784. [7]
The court ordered a distribution to Jabez's widow Rebecca Fitch on 2 January 1787. After this distribution and debts, the estate was insolvent. A somewhat ambiguous estate paper says that further inventory was discovered. Apparently, a judge ordered that Solomon Morgan of Plainfield and Jabez Fitch [Jr.], late of Canterbury, owed about 151 pounds. Jabez is described as “now absconded and gone.” [7]

Chapter I
Origins
Fitch Family Ancestry
Our line of the Fitch family goes back to one William Fitch (also spelled at that time Fecche, Ficche, Fycche, Fiche, Fyche, Fytche and Fitche!) who was born about 1400 and lived in Wicken Bonhunt, Essex County in England. Interestingly the name may well have been derived from the word vetch, an important source of cattle fodder in those days. The patrimonial line then descended through William’s son John, to Thomas, who by marriage to Agnes Algore acquired Brazen Head Manor in Lindsell, Essex. They had eleven children – six sons and five daughters – all of who are depicted in a brass cover to their tomb in St. Mary’s chapel in Lindsell, shown here. The inscription reads, in translation:
Here lie Thomas Fytche and Agnes his wife which same Thomas died the twenty-first day of April in the year of our Lord 1514 on whose souls may God have mercy.
The acquisition of land from Agnes’ family seems to have put this line of Fitches on a firm foundation, and they used the wealth well to become prosperous over future generations.
After Thomas and Agnes, there came Roger, then George and his son Thomas who grew to be quite wealthy. Thomas married Anne Reve, and they lived in the town of Bocking near Lindsell. They had eleven children, the third of who was James, our forebear, born on Christmas eve, 1622. Thomas died in England, but Anne survived him by some 37 years. She took three sons with her to Connecticut in 1650, whereas James had already gone there in 1638.
James’ brother Thomas’ son became Governor of Connecticut and was loyal to the English crown. His son Thomas was a revolutionary, and at the outset of the war for independence gathered up a ragtag group of men, stuck a feather in his cap, and rode off to Boston to join the fighting there. An observer, greatly amused by the sight of this bunch of ruffians, sat down and wrote new words to a popular barroom song. Thus was born “Yankee Doodle”!
James studied theology under the Reverend Thomas Hooker at Hartford, and took over a congregation at Saybrook, Connecticut. Later he relocated with a sizable number of his congregation to establish a new town, which they named Norwich, Connecticut. Towards the end of his life, at the age of 79 he moved once again to Lebanon, Connecticut, a place
with great cedar trees that reminded him of the biblical cedars of Lebanon. He died the following year and is buried there. He was a fine leader and much loved by his ‘flock’.
James was obedient to God’s commandment to “be fruitful and multiply.” He had fifteen children by two wives (the first wife, Abigail Whitfield, died after eleven years of marriage and six children). The fifth son by Abigail was Samuel who married Mary Brewster, the great granddaughter of Elder William Brewster of Plymouth (thus we have a connection to the Mayflower, for what it’s worth). They lived in what was then called East Norwich. Their sixth child (of a mere 9) was Benjamin.
Ben married Hannah Read of Norwich, and they lived in East Norwich which was named at that time Long Society, and which today is called Preston. They had 6 children the fourth of whom was also named Benjamin, and who was our direct ancestor. He became Deacon of a new church established in Long Society. Father Benjamin died at the early age of 37 when son Ben was only 8 years old. The son married Zipporah Haskell of Norwich, and they begat eight children, the second of who was Joseph, our ancestor. Son Ben fought in a couple of battles of the French and Indian War in 1757. He was ‘Collector’ – or Treasurer – of the Long Society Congregational Church. And he apparently did well in land speculation, and left a substantial estate.
Joseph moved with his mother Zipporah to Pawlet, Vermont in 1776. He married his first cousin Mary Andrus. Joseph fought in the Revolutionary War during the year 1780. In more peaceful times he dealt in frequent land transactions like his father. Apparently he was well regarded; he served as a state legislator. Joseph and Mary had twelve children before they died, he, at 84 and she, at 76.
Their second son Ephraim married Sarah Porter, who died only four years later at the tender age of 21, having born three children. Ephraim married Rhoda Sears 7 years later, and they had 6 children. Ephraim was prosperous; he built a brick tavern and inn – now the Franklin House – as well as a gristmill. The latter was the cause of his accidental death when he was 45. Ephraim was, like his father, a legislator and a member of the church. Rhoda’s third son was named Ferris who was born in Pawlet in November, 1802.
Ferris Fitch was my great grandfather. He was a graduate of Middlebury College and of Andover Theological Seminary. Thus he renewed the service to Christian ministry started by James Fitch six generations earlier although as a Presbyterian. 1830 was a big year for Ferris: he graduated from seminary, got married to Sally Smith Griswold, and moved to Maine. There he was ordained a Congregational minister, and moved twice in Maine before emigrating to the Connecticut Western Reserve (now Ohio) in 1834. Ferris died in 1846 at the age of 44, but not before Sally bore him eight children, the youngest of whom was George Field Fitch, my grandfather, born in Avon, Ohio in 1845.
After mission work for 18 years, George was put in charge of the Presbyterian Mission Press in Shanghai, the largest publishing house in the Far East at that time. George and Mary had 5 children. My father, George Ashmore Fitch, was the fourth. The family lived on the top floor of the Mission Press building.
Shanghai grew during those years to become one of the greatest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world. The Fitch home hosted visiting missionaries from every denomination, Mary serving tea at 4:00 every afternoon. Mary home-schooled her five children in their early years, supervised two mission schools, cofounded the Door of Hope, a shelter for hundreds of young girls who had been sold into prostitution, and was editor of a quarterly entitled “Women’s Work in the Far East”. George and Mary McLellan Fitch were much loved by all, and when they died a church was built in Shanghai as their memorial. The Hongde Church, as it is now called, still stands and is active today.
All five children, after education in the United States, returned to China to do God’s work: Robert became President of Hangchow Christian College - now Zhejiang University Law School; Mary was a medical missionary; Jeanette married A.R. Kepler, one of the founders of the Church of Christ in China; and Alice worked with the YWCA (Young Women’s Christian Association) there. George Ashmore attended the College of Wooster in Ohio, and then went on to Union Theological Seminary at Columbia University, where upon graduation he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister.

English Ancestors of the Fitches of Colonial Connecticut” (1990); “Puritan in the Wilderness, A Biography of the Reverend James Fitch, 1622 – 1702” (1993); and “Descendants of the Reverend James Fitch”, Vols. 1, 2 and 3 (1996, 1999 and 2002), Picton Press, Camden, Maine, USA.
------------------------------------
On a boat trip from Europe to America George had met a lovely young lady, Alberta Kempton, who was a student at Vassar College. They corresponded frequently thereafter, and upon graduation they decided to get married, even though he by then had determined to return to China with the International YMCA. They had four children, George Kempton, Marion, Albert and Edith, all born in China with the exception of Albert who arrived in the U.S. Alberta tragically contracted typhoid fever and died in 1919. Some five years later my father met Geraldine Townsend who was working to establish Methodist youth groups throughout China. They became enamored and were married on the campus of her Alma Mater, Albion College, when both were on home-leave in 1924. ‘Gerry’, as everyone called her, bore two sons, John Townsend and Robert McLellan – me – both of us born in Shanghai.
In 1925 my father was asked to establish a ‘home away from home’ for young men and women coming to Shanghai from America, Europe and other countries and being involved in business, government and the professions. He made plans and raised the funds to build what became the Foreign YMCA in Shanghai. It turned out to be a beautiful 12-story ornate brick building with hotel rooms, library, seminar rooms, recreational and physical therapy facilities, swimming pool, barber shop, tailor shop, snack bar and dining room, and offices. It was one of the most outstanding edifices in the city, and is still standing when I visited Shanghai in 2017.
China was in turmoil in the early twentieth century. The democratic revolution of Dr. Sun Yat-sen (Sūn Rīxin) was being consolidated, but Shanghai was
largely taken over by foreigners. The Municipal Council comprised 6 British, 2 Americans and 1 Japanese. Chinese were allowed no representation! My father observed that, “The
ignorance of the average foreigner concerning the Chinese people ….is nothing short of appalling. Ignorance breeds distrust and fear….and instead of [creating] an atmosphere of friendliness and confidence, they [Chinese] are slighted, even insulted, in the foreign daily press. What could be better suited to drive them into the arms of the friendly Russian Reds?” [my emphasis]. What prescience to be able to foresee what would happen some 24 years later with the Communist takeover! *

* These and many other fascinating aspects of my father’s life are told in his autobiography, “My Eighty Years in China” 2nd Ed., Mei Ya Publications, Taipei (1974).
-----------------------
The Nationalist government of China, the Kuomintang, had moved to the ancient capitol, Nanking (Nanjing), from Peking (Beijing) in the mid 1930’s, and now in 1936 my father was asked to make the move as well. The family was smaller with just Mother, Father, brother John and me, but we enjoyed all the novelty of living in a ‘Chinese’ city. Our stay was short-lived since the Japanese had invaded China and were making their way to the Rape of Nanking. In 1937 Mother took John and me to America, but Dad stayed to witness the terrible holocaust that ensued. His eyes in the picture below reflect the horrendous atrocities they witnessed. His “Nanking Diary” is included in his autobiography, and describes his experiences as temporary Mayor of the city (the only foreigner in China ever to be so designated, at least up to that time) and director of the so-called Safety Zone therein during the Japanese occupation. Several movies have been made, and books written, of those terrible events.
Townsend Family History
Dear Reader, you no doubt have observed that this has been a patrilineal genealogy. This is an ancient tradition that I must respect. However, since my mother had a greater influence on me than did my father, I wish to tell you about her ancestry as well.
My mother’s father was Fred Townsend, a Methodist minister to several congregations in Michigan. He also served as a missionary to the Indians of the Northern Peninsula of Michigan. Fred was a ‘hellfire and brimstone’ preacher, who in his later years fulminated against sin of every kind. He could not enjoy reading a popular magazine, counting the ads for cigarettes and booze, expostulating with ever-reddening face upon the evils that threatened our lives at every turn.
Fred married Jenny Logan, a lovely young woman, quiet, devout, dutiful, and as caring a grandmother as a boy could ever desire. They had two sons and a daughter, my mother, Hazel Geraldine Townsend. She grew up in rural, small town southern Michigan in a deeply religious Christian environment. There was a special relationship between mother and daughter – loving, intelligent, and supportive, which I’m sure helped ‘Gerry’ to feel that she could achieve
whatever she set her mind to, and the courage ultimately to go to remote villages in China, where no white woman had ever been seen.
Geraldine attended Albion College in Albion, Michigan; an excellent student, she was salutatorian of her graduating class. She embarked upon her intended career as an English teacher, but after only a few years her life was changed when the Methodist church asked her to go to China to set up youth organizations called the Epworth League as their National Secretary.
And thus it was that she met my father. They quickly fell in love, and were married soon thereafter in Albion. Dad was becoming a prominent citizen of Shanghai, and with four children by Alberta, Gerry was catapulted once again into a very different situation. Not only did she have the four children, ages of about 6 to 13, but also she would take on many social obligations. Subsequently she had two children of her own, John in 1926 and me in 1928. Fortunately for families in that social position, servants were available, and in fact a necessity: cook, amah, chauffeur, gardener, part-time tailor, No. 1 boy, No. 2 boy, and coolie. We moved to a lovely new house in the Hongjjao suburb of Shanghai. We were definitely climbing the social ladder, and Mother turned out to be good at this.
My father had visited the Communist leaders Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai in 1940 when they had established a base in caves at Yenan. His purpose was to explore the possibilities of establishing a YMCA within the Communist enclave. He came away disappointed, with the realization that the Chinese could be, in his words, “strangled by this [atheistic], diabolical octopus”, and that to prevent this from happening “would be worth almost anything.”
This was parallel to the experience of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, who had gone to Moscow for military training because it was felt that the Chinese Republican revolution had much in common with the Bolshevik revolution. Chiang came back to China an ardent anti-Communist.
My mother was also caught up in this struggle and would campaign tirelessly for the cause of a Republican China.
When she took John and me to the United States in 1937 at the outbreak of war with Japan in China, she became more and more involved over the next several years with writing and lecturing across the country primarily against US sales of scrap metal and oil to Japan, and later, to opposing the Communist takeover of China. This meant putting John and me in boarding school for the years 1942 – 1944. We attended a small boys school near Lake Placid, New York with a total student body of 75 and an excellent faculty, Northwood School.
I appeared on the scene on the thirtieth of April, 1928 at the Country Hospital in Shanghai. I was born an American citizen under then-existing extraterritoriality rights. Several Western nations had extracted concessions of land within the city, which were colonial fiefdoms answerable solely to the home country. The French Concession, for example, had its own street names (we lived for a time on Avenue Petain), police, courts, architecture, shops etc.* There was also the International Settlement shared by Britain and the United States who had forced China to give up property and
rights such that U.S. citizens were subject to U.S. laws even though they were living in that distant land.
Some wag once said that you should choose your parents carefully. I guess I chose well. I feel deeply humbled and grateful that I have been heir to such a fortune of good, interesting, moral, ethical, brave, and intelligent people. I look around and see how rare is such an inheritance. In the chapters that follow, I relate how I was encouraged to pursue my own interests, and at the same time, made very conscious of my role in society; that there were obligations to living with others, family, friends and society at large. My mother made sure that I got into the best schools possible, that an education was absolutely important in getting a good start on whatever you pursue thereafter. After all, she was initially a teacher herself.

The subject of this sketch was born in Berkeley, now Jefferson County, Va., April 15, 1777, and died in Brown County, Ohio, March 23, 1851. His father was a native of the Emerald Isle, and emigrated to the United States with two other brothers who were soon after, by some unaccountable cause, lost, and nothing of them was ever known afterward. Mr. Fitch was active in the noble achievements for our national independence, and only closed his service to his country at the termination of that memorable war. His military duties were rendered under the direct command of Gen. Washington. He contracted a disease from which he died in subsequent years, leaving a widow and three children â James, Samuel, the subject of the foregoing, and Jane. James and Jane both died in the place of their nativity, aged seventy years. Samuel was reared by a Mr. R. Bennett, who migrated with a colony to the West, stopping for a year on the farm which was the battlefield of Braddockâs defeat. In 1795, they descended the placid waters of the Ohio in a flat-boat and landed at the mouth of Limestone Creek, Ky. Young Fitch remained with Bennett till of age, in the meantime acquainting himself with the blacksmith trade, which he followed in Maysville, Ky., for thirteen years. Sometime during this period, he bought a horse and returned to the âOld Dominionâ for his mother, who returned with him on horseback, being at that time in her sixty-third year, to his new Western home. Mr. Fitch married, in Maysville, to Miss Isabelle Martin, a daughter of Edmund Martin, and a sister to Capt. Elijah Martin, of the âwar of â12 fame.â She was converted to Methodism under the able preaching of Rev. Valentine Cook, and subsequently, under the ministry of Samuel Parker, Mr. Fitch was converted. They removed to Brown County, then Adams, and purchased a farm of Belshazzar Dragoo. He moved his household goods by flat-boat, going down the Ohio, thence up Eagle Creek, arriving at their farm March 1, 1812. His new cabin home was opened to religious worship, and was, up to 1832, the rendezvous for the Christian Pilgrims. In 1832, the society erected a small brick church on Mr. Fitchâs farm, which was dedicated as Fitchâs Chapel. The dedicatory services were presided over by the Rev. Henry B. Bascom, who was licensed to preach from the log cabin of Mr. Fitch. The following, in regard to this eminent pulpit orator, appears in Simpsonâs Cyclopedia: Henry B. Bascom, D. D., one of the Bishops of the M. E. Church South, was born in Hancock, N. Y., May 27, 1796, and died m Louisville, Ky., September 8, 1850. He united with the M. E. Church in Western Pennsylvania in 1811, and was licensed to preach and received on trial in the Ohio Conference in 1813. He soon became famous as a pulpit orator. He was elected Chaplain to Congress in 1823; in 1827, was elected President of Madison College, Penn., which position he filled until 1829, when he became the agent of the American Colonization Society. He was chosen, in 1832, as Professor of Moral Sciences in Augusta College, Ky., and 1842 he became the President of Transylvania University. He was delegate to every general conference from 1828 to 1844, and 1845 he adhered to the church South. He was editor of the Southern Quarterly Review from 1846 to 1850, when he was elected Bishop at the General Conference of the M. E. Church South at St. Louis. At one period, he was perhaps the most popular pulpit orator in the United States. The remains of the parents of this worthy divine repose in the old Fitch Burying Ground, on the farm purchased by Mr. Fitch, and where the orator spent his early life and manhood, and from whence he embarked on his worldâs mission. The first house built in Brown County is now standing on the old homestead of the Fitch family. March 24, 1824, E. M. Fitch, the only surviving son, was born in the brick house erected by his father in 1821. He is the fourth son and youngest of a family of seven children â Samuel, Mary A., Jane, Martin C., E. M., James Q. and Hannah C., wife of James Howard. Our subject was married, December 8, 1842, to Jane, the youngest daughter of Col. Mills and Mary (Stephenson) Mills. Mr. Fitch has always resided on the old homestead, south east of Ripley. He has been an active member of the community in which he resides, taking a live interest in all public and private enterprises that are calculated to benefit and enrich the community or commonwealth, and especially in the moral growth and improvement of his neighborhood. He has not only been engaged extensively in the industrial pursuits of his fame and avocation, but has displayed much interest, by his munificent assistance, in the gradual development of Brown County. Mr. Fitch has been a prominent factor in the Democratic party of Brown County since the death of Webster and Clay. In 1865, he was elected a member of the Ohio Legislature and re-elected in 1867, serving two terms. His terms of service in the Legislature were active in the interest of his many constituents, and his duties were performed with honor and credit to himself. In 1876 and 1880, he was a candidate for Congress, but was unsuccessful. Mrs. Fitch was born November 4, 1821, and to her and her husband were given the following children: Mary I., born September 4, 1843, married L. P. Stivers September 10, 1861; Hannah J., born January 3, 1845, died April 25, 1849; Samuel C., born July 27, 1846, married July 22, 1868, to ____; Lemuel O., born April 28, 1848; Sarah E., born February 24, 1850, married Frances M. Stephenson December 16, 1876; Laura A., born February 13, 1852, died April 4, 1853; Charles W., born March 18, 1854; Elijah, born March 18, 1856; Henrietta, born March 2, 1859, married J. H. Stephenson April 29, 1880; Angelica, born May 28, 1860, died January 4, 1861, and James P. L., born September 4, 1863, married August 15, 1879. | ||||||||

Biography
Samuell Fitch was born in early Mar 1655 in Saybrook (now Old Saybrook), New London Co., CT.[1][2] He was married to Mary Anne Brewster on 28 Nov 1678 in New London, New London Co., CT.[3] They were prolific parents. Mayflower Births and Deaths credits Samuell and Mary Anne with the following:[4]
Mary Fitch
Samuel Fitch
Hezekiah Fitch
Elizabeth Fitch
Abigail Fitch
Samuel Fitch
Benjamin Fitch
John Fitch
Jabez Fitch
Peltiel Fitch
Samuel, Mary, and their children resided in Norwich and in Long Society (now Preston), New London Co., CT. Samuel was one of the first proprietors of Lebanon, New London Co., CT but he and Mary lived on the east side of the Shetucket River in what was designated, for ecclesiastical purposes, as the Fifth Society of Norwich. It was also known as East Norwich, Long Society, and then later, Preston. This is corroborated in part by The History of Norwich, Connecticut: from Its Possession by the Indians to the year 1866:
"The district on the east side of the river comprised Long Society, or East Norwich ; but the grants made by the town were not wholly limited to this society. A considerable portion of Preston was held originally by the same tenure. Its earliest land-owners and inhabitants settled under the authority of Norwich and were admitted to the privileges of the town, included also in the same church bounds, as parishioners of Mr. [Rev. James] Fitch. [Samuel's father.] In all probability Greenfield Larrabee was the first settler in this region, — the first actual inhabitant of the town of Preston. Next to him we may reckon the sons of Norwich proprietors, — Thomas Tracy, Jun., Jonathan Tracy, Samuel Fitch, and Nathaniel Letfingwell, who were cultivating farms on that side of Shetucket river in 1680, or soon afterward" (242).[5]
He died on 18 Feb 1725 in Preston, New London Co., CT. and is buried in Brewster's Neck Cemetery, Preston, Connecticut.[6]

A previous PM left this a reference number for Samuel: JTF6. Anyone know to what it pertains? Mayflower Society? DAR??

] | 2024-08-05T00:00:00 | Breaking News, Sports, Manitoba, Canada | en | Winnipeg Free Press | https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/life/2024/08/05/monsters-sturgeon-endure-in-alberta-rivers-but-their-future-is-uncertain | EDMONTON – They lurk in the murky depths of some of Alberta’s biggest rivers, living fossils from when giant lizards strode the earth.
But a prominent fisheries biologist fears the province’s lake sturgeon may finally share the fate of the dinosaurs because of growing pressure on water resources.
“The more you shrink the area in which a critter lives, the greater the chances are that critter could wink out,” said Lorne Fitch, a retired provincial biologist, university professor and author. “That’s certainly what could happen to lake sturgeon.”
Lake sturgeon are unlike any other freshwater fish.
They appeared about 200 million years ago, somehow surviving the massive extinction of the dinosaurs and the freezing cold of the ice ages. They’ve changed little since — and look their age.
“They’re monsters,” Fitch said.
Covered with sharp, bony plates and coarse skin instead of scales, they can grow up to two metres long. Long, sensitive “whiskers” called barbels grow from the sides of their mouths, allowing them to find crayfish, snails, clams and leeches in the muddy river bottoms they frequent.
They have no backbones, having originated before fish evolved spines. They live for decades and are hard to spot.
But when they do appear, they look really intimidating, said Fitch.
“It’s like dragging the distant past out of a pool. It made me wonder, ‘What sort of a world did these fish evolve into that they had to have these armour plates?'”
Once abundant, sturgeon numbers have shrunk as water quality in Alberta rivers has deteriorated and their once uninterrupted courses have been chopped up by dams. Fitch said there are no reliable population estimates, but western lake sturgeon are designated as endangered under the federal Species At Risk Act and as threatened under Alberta legislation.
“We don’t really know how many sturgeon there are,” Fitch said. “We don’t know what the impact of invasive species is. We don’t know what the impact of drought is.”
Both current and possible future policies present problems, he added.
Clearcut logging reduces the ability of watersheds to regulate stream flows. Irrigation demands continue to increase, while regulators contemplate thirsty new industries, such as coal mining.
Meanwhile, Alberta’s population is growing rapidly. That brings demands for more drinking water and better flood protection as climate change makes extreme weather events more common.
New dams, which would further isolate sturgeon populations, are back in the conversation. The province is considering projects on the Red Deer and Bow rivers, as well as a weir on the South Saskatchewan.
“We’re not done thinking about dams,” Fitch said. “If those dams are built, they would further truncate lake sturgeon populations into smaller and smaller units.”
A 2002 feasibility study for the Meridian Dam, a now-abandoned project once proposed for the west side of the Saskatchewan-Alberta boundary on the South Saskatchewan River, acknowledged that dams and reservoirs could affect sturgeon. The study found such structures could block fish movement, reduce available food and limit spawning sites.
“The consequences of blocking fish movements in this section of the South Saskatchewan River are significant, because species such as lake sturgeon, walleye and sauger may be isolated from one or more critical habitats,” it says.
Ryan Fournier of Alberta Environment and Protected Areas said the province is working to improve water storage and management, especially in southern Alberta.
In an email, he said about $10 million in feasibility studies are underway for the proposed Eyremore Dam on the lower Bow River near Bassano and the Ardley Dam east of Red Deer on the Red Deer River. Both dams are in sturgeon habitat.
“A provincewide review is also underway to determine other areas where new water storage projects would be most beneficial,” he said. “We are taking a whole-government approach to maintaining provincial water management infrastructure systems to make sure Albertans have a safe, reliable water supply.”
Agriculture and Irrigation Minister RJ Sigurdson has said environmental concerns would be addressed in the studies.
Alberta would do better to try and curtail water demand instead of counting on greater supply — especially as climate change threatens to make the Prairies drier and hotter, Fitch said.
“If we continue to exacerbate the demand side, we will continue to (try to) outrun climate change with reservoir construction. And we’re going to lose.”
Sturgeon, which have already survived so much, will carry on if given a chance, said Fitch.
“This is a critter that outstrips human history, that outstrips the history of a lot of living things. The fact we still have them swimming in our rivers is a testament to their ability to endure.”

James FITCH (1622 – 1702) was Alex’s 9th great grandfather, one of 1,024 in this generation of the Miner line. He helped found the towns of Saybrook, Norwich and Lebanon Connecticut and was instrumental in getting Sachem Uncas and the Mohegans, and also the Pequot Indians, to side with the English against King Philip’s the Narragansett tribes in King Philip’s War.
Rev. James Fitch was born 24 Dec 1622 in Bocking, Essex, England. His parents were Thomas FITCHand Anne REEVES. His brother Capt. John FITCH was also our ancestor through the Shaw line. He came to America in 1638 and was the first minister at Norwich. He was ordained as the minister of Saybrook in 1646. He first married Abigail Whitfield on 18 Oct 1648 in Guilford, CT. James and Abigail were, according to legend at least, married by her father in the north end of the living room of the Gilford Stone House on 1 October 1648. This seems unlikely however because the 17th Century congregational church, marriage was not a sacrament, and marriages were generally performed by civil authorities rather than clergy. The marriage was recorded “after the fact” in the Norwich, Connecticut vital records. After Abigail died, he married Priscilla MASON on 2 Oct 1664 in Norwich, CT. James died 18 Nov 1702 in Lebanon, CT.

Translated “In this grave are deposited the remains of that truley reverend man, Mr. James Fitch. He was born in Bocking, in the County of Essex, in England, the 24th day of December, in the year of our Lord 1622; who after he had been most excellently taught the learned languages came into New England at the age of sixteen, and then spent seven years under the instructions of those very famous men, Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone. Afterwards he discharged the pastoral office fourteen years at Saybrook. Thence he removed with the major part of his Church to Norwich, where he spent the other years of his life in the work of the gospel.
In his old age indeed he was obliged to cease from his public labors by reason of bodily indisposition and at length retired to his children at Lebanon, where after spending nearly half a year, he slept in Jesus in the year 1702, on the 18th day of November, in the 80th year of his age. He was a man as to the smartness of his genius, the solidity of his judgement, his charity, holy labors, and every kind of purity of life, and also as to his skill and energy of preaching, inferior to none.”
Abigail Whitfield was born 1 Sep 1622 in Ockley, Surry, England. Her parents were Rev. Henry Whitfield and Dorothy Sheaffe. Abigail died 9 Sep 1659 in Saybrook, CT.
Priscilla Mason was born in Oct 1641 in Windsor, CT. Her husband was almost twenty years older than she was. The gap bewtween the oldest and youngest child was 34 years. Her parents were Maj. John MASON and Ann PECK. Priscilla died in 1714 in Norwich, CT.

James Fitch’s father Thomas died when James was only ten years old. James was left money in his fathers’ will, which enabled him to go and study at Cambridge University. During his studies at Cambridge, he was taken under the wing of Rev. Thomas Hooker of Chelmsford, a friend of Thomas Fytche who was also mentioned in the will.
Frederic Edwin Church, 1846
At only sixteen, he sailed to America in 1638 with the Rev. Hooker who had decided to go to America and establish a church there. James finished his theological study in Hartford, Connecticut under the Reverend Hooker and Reverend Samuel Stone, also of Bocking, England. A new Church was built in Saybrook, Connecticut and James Fitch was ordained as its first minister in 1646.
James wrote several important documents which were circulated widely. He struggled to clarify several important points of puritan doctrine,
He struggled to find grounds for proving the necessity of works without curtailing the absolute freedom of God to chose and reject regardless of man’s achievement
He wanted to resolve the question of individual assurance, that is how a man might reach some working assurance that he was of the regenerate even though pure knowledge was an inscrutable secret open to God himself
He wanted to justify God’s ways in concepts meaningful to the human intellect to bring him into line, so to speak, with the more rationale laws of ethics.
James lived near the new meeting house on a two acre lot with a house, a barn and an orchard.
In the early summer of 1647 “an epidemical sickness” swept through parts of New England. Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts reported that it seized the victims “like a cold and light fever with it”. On 7 July James’ mentor, the Reverend Thomas Hooker, died at Hartford, Connecticut.
James was a Founding settler of Norwich and Saybrook, Connecticut and the first minister in those two towns as well. He was ordained Rev. James Fitch, to become the first ordained minister of Saybrook Congregational Church and the First Congregational Church of Norwich. James intervention got Uncas of the Mohegans, and the Pequot Indians, to side with the English against King Philip’s Narragansett tribes. Their fair dealings with the Indians spared these settlers who were on the very frontier at that time.
Uncas (c. 1588 – c. 1683) was a sachem of the Mohegan who through his alliance with the English colonists in New England against other Indian tribes made the Mohegan the leading regional Indian tribe in lower Connecticut.
On Oct 1, 1648, James married Abigail Whitfield (born 08/1622) of nearby Guilford, Connecticut. The ceremony was performed by her father, Reverend Whitfield.
James must have approached his mother, Anna (nee Reeve 1590-1686) and his brothers about settling in America, and in about 1650, Anna Fitch and her sons Thomas, Samuel and Joseph sailed from England, to join James.
In 1659, the congregation at Saybrook received permission to establish a new settlement at Norwich, Connecticut. The nine square miles of land for the town of Norwich was purchased from the Indian Sachems of Mohegan for £70 in Jun 1659. Norwich was settled in the spring of 1660. Rev. James Fitch accompanied them as their leader along with his father-in-law Major John MASON. Just before leaving, Abigail died on September 9, 1659. James and his six children, James II, Abigail, Elizabeth, Hannah, Samuel and Dorothy, went alone to Norwich the following month. James continued as pastor at Norwich until he resigned in 1696. He moved to Lebanon in 1702.

Norwich was founded in 1658 by settlers from Old Saybrook led by Major John Mason and Reverend James Fitch. Most of these original proprietors of Norwich came from Saybrook, and East Saybrook (now Lyme). The 35 original proprietors of that town were:

James Fitch then married Priscilla MASON , daughter of Major John MASON in October of 1664. This marriage produced eight more children, Daniel, John, Jeremiah, Jabez, Ann, Nathaniel, Joseph and Eleazer.
When King Philip’s War began in 1675, Rev. Fitch was instrumental in getting Uncas and the Mohegans, and also the Pequot Indians, to side with the English against King Philip’s Narragansett tribes. Their fair dealings with the Indians spared these settlers who were on the very frontier at that time. Uncas, was the Indian chief made famous by James Fenimore Cooper in ‘The Last of The Mohegans’. He was the chief who sold the lands of Norwich to Fitch and Mason and the others settlers.
Sometime in late 1694, James suffered what we would call a stroke or, in those days a stroke of the palsy. It probably affected his speech, making it difficult to serve as minister.
In 1695 at the age of 74, James founded and settled a new town nearby, Lebanon, Connecticut, where he moved to in 1701 when he retired from the church in Norwich. He remained in Lebanon until his death at age eighty on November 18, 1702. He is buried at the churchyard there and his stone remains in the old cemetery.
The town of Lebanon has its origins with the settlers of Norwich, who wanted to expand beyond the “nine miles square” they had bought from the Mohegan sachem Uncas. In 1663, the first grant in the area was given in to James’ father-in-law Maj. John Mason, deputy governor of the Connecticut colony; the next year, Mason accepted 500 acres northwest of Norwich. This area, known as “Pomakuck” or “Pomocook” by the Mohegans, is now the Goshen Hill area of Lebanon. In 1666, Connecticut granted an additional 120 acres to the Rev. James Fitch, minister of Norwich, adjacent to Maj. Mason’s land which was now known as Cedar Swamp. The Mohegans conferred their blessing on the grants by giving an additional seven-mile strip to Maj. Mason’s son in 1675, who split the land with the Rev. Fitch, his father-in-law. This area is now known as “Fitch and Mason’s Mile,” or just “The Mile.” This page was getting a little long, so you can see details of Mr. Fitch’s Mile here.
Rev. James Fitch’s reputation rests on his missionary work among the Connecticut Indians, particularly the Mohegans. He mastered their language and was particularly useful to the colonists during King Philip’s War.

Children
1. Major James Fitch
James first wife Elizabeth Mason was born in Aug 1654 in Saybrook, CT. She was the widow of William Adams of Dedham, Massachusetts. Her parents were Maj. John MASON and Anne PECK. The family relationship was unusual. When James married Elizabeth in 1675, Elizabeth’s older sister Priscilla had been James’ step-mother for over 10 years having married his father in 1664. Elizabeth died 8 Oct 1684 in Norwich, Conn.
James second wife Alice Bradford was born 27 Mar 1661 in Plymouth, Mass. Her parents were William Bradford and Alice Richards. William and Alice lived on the north side of Jones River in Stony Brook, Kingston, in the Plymouth Colony. William Bradford Plymouth Solider (Wiki) was Major Commander-in-chief of the Plymouth forces in the Great Swamp Fight in 1675 where he was severely wounded. He was active in politics. Alice died 10 Mar. 1745/46 Canterbury, Windham, CT
Maj. James Fitch helped to reestablish colonial government after the Revolution of 1689. He served in the military as Company Sergeant Major of New London Company in 1696. He was Assistant in 1690. He also served as Boundary Commissioner and Land Reviser. He led military expeditions, named forts, and guarded the frontier. He exercised jurisdiction over the Mohegans and all their lands and interests.
James was a large landowner and founder of the town in 1697 in Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut. He dug the first cellar there in 1697, and erected the first permanent habitation. He selected as his residence a neck of land partially enclosed by a bend in the Quenbang River. His home on the neck became a rendezvous for land traders, civil and military officials, and Indians. Here courts were held, military expeditions were organized, and many thousand acres of land were bartered away. It’s doors, the only residence between Norwich and Woodstock, were always open to weary travellers. A road was laid from Windham to his home and connected with the Greenwich path.
James Jr. gave nails and glass for the Yale’s first building, and endowed it with 635 acres of land in Killingworth, Middlesex County, Connecticut.
He supplied money, land and materials to help found a church college in New Haven, Connecticut that was to become Yale College in 1701. Fitch Gateway in the Harkness Quadrangle memorializes James Fitch.
He died on 10 Nov 1727 in Canterbury, Windham County, Connecticut. He is said to have settled in Norwich, but also resided in Preston, Plainfield, and Canterbury as well.
Another view – James Fitch was a land speculator and magistrate. In 1660 his father, Reverend James Fitch (1622-1702), led a group of people to settle the town of Norwich. Raised on the frontier in close contact with Indians, Fitch gained knowledge of the unsettled eastern Connecticut lands and learned to manipulate the Indians who owned them. In 1680 and 1684 Owaneco, chief of the Mohegans, granted Fitch title to a large tract of land, the Quinebaug lands, in northeastern Connecticut. His acquisition and later disposal of Indian lands drew to his side all those who claimed title by native right and who entered the political arena in order to maintain the land they claimed.
Fitch was first elected deputy from Norwich in May 1678 and three years later was chosen to the Connecticut Upper House. Fitch opposed the Dominion of New England, and upon its overthrow in the spring of 1689 he was a leader in the movement to restore charter government. The old rulers of the colony procrastinated, but Fitch aroused the freemen to demand new elections and the reestablishment of the old government. In this effort he was successful, but the old magistrates, most of whom had willingly acquiesced to Governor Andros’ rule, managed to retain their former offices. James Fitch was a powerful and disturbing figure to those who cherished traditional patterns of deference and who opposed his speculations and sale of lands in eastern Connecticut. He might have won control of the government had it not been for Fitz-John Winthrop (1638-1707). Winthrop secured reaffirmation of the Connecticut charter, thereby propelling himself into the governor’s chair and restoring the good image of those who had a decade earlier supported the Dominion of New England.
The enemies of James Fitch quickly went on the offensive. Previously county courts were presided over by a local assistant like Fitch, but new legislation vested all appointive power in the hands of the General Assembly. In the 1698 election Fitch lost his Council seat. Although he was to regain it in 1700, political fortunes tuned against him. He was placed on the defensive and eventually lost control of the Quinebaug lands. He retired to Canterbury where he died in 1727.
James Fitch was for a period of almost twenty years one of the most powerful men in the colony. To his enemies he was “Black James” or the “Great land pirate,” but he led a faction devoted to charter government and native right that helped mark the transition from Puritan commonwealth to provincial Yankee society.
In 1694 and 1695 a group of Ipswich men, Joseph Stafford [son of our ancestor Thomas SAFFORD], Richard Smith, Meshach Farleyh, Matthew Perkins and Samuel Bishop bought from Capt. James Fitch of Norwich of Norwich in the Connecticut colony a tract of eighteen hundren acres which was later called Preston and on which three of Safford’s children settled. Captain Fitch’s title to this land was extremely dubious. After King Philip’s War he held it as a sort of trust for a small local tribe of Indians known as the Shetuckets to whom it had been guaranteed. When Fitch transferred the title to himself there were murmurs of disapproval among the more sensitive of the Norwich settlers, but nothing was actually done to restore what seems to have been, in bald terms. and by 1694 the title was regarded as good. [History of Norwich by Frances Caulkins, edition of 1866]
Many of our ancestors lived in Preston around this time including John SAFFORD Jr., Ebenezer PERKINS and Daniel WOODWARD

All his brothers were soldiers fighting Indians and such. As a young teenager, Jed moved to the north shore of Massachusetts and settled in Newbury, and then later went to Nantucket Island off the coast of Massachusetts. Nantucket was a Quaker colony at the time and in 1701 he married into an established Quaker family. His father had been quite friendly with the local Indians, the Mohegans and Pequots, yet fought against other tribes. Perhaps Jedediah became a pacifist and wanted no part of fighting the Indians he grew up with and so left for Nantucket.

John Dyer was born in Weymouth, but removed to Winhdam, CT with his brother Thomas. Later he sold out his Windham holdings to Thomas and removed to Canterbury where he settled. He appears a number of times in the Canterbury records:1714: Eight hundred acres of second-division land south of the Mashamoqut and west of Newichewanna Brook were sold by Major FITCH to John Dyer, and by him conveyed to Col. Thomas FITCH of Boston. Dyer for eight hundred acres gave £120. 1723: At the Canterbury land division of 30 Apr 1723, the long contest was over, and John Dyer received one share as a proprietor under patent.1739: The military companies of Plainfield, Canterbury, Pomfret, Killingly and Voluntown were constititued the 11th Connecticut Regiment with John Dyer as its Lt.

2. Abigail Fitch
Abigail’s first husband Captain John Mason, Jr. was born 16 Aug 1646 in Windsor, CT. His parents were Maj. John MASON and Anne PECK. Abigail’s brother married John’s sister Elizabeth and her father married his sister Prescilla. John died of wounds suffered in the Great Swamp Fight on 18 Sep 1676 in New London, CT. Of the 71 Connecticut troops killed in the battle, nine were from John Mason’s 5th Company of Norwich. To the First and Fifth Connecticut Companies were attached Indian Scouting Companies, numbering seventy-five to each, made up mostly of Indians from the Mohegan and Pequod tribes.
This gallant young captain was severely and, as it proved, fatally wounded in the Great swamp fight at Narragansett, Dec. 19, 1675. It is probable that he was brought home from that sanguinary field by his Mohegan warriors on an Indian bier. His wounds never healed. After lingering several months, he died, as is supposed, in the same house where his father expired, and was doubtless laid by his side in the old obliterated graveyard of the first comers. Though scarcely thirty years of age at the time of his death, he stood high in public esteem, both in a civil and military capacity.

10. Rev Jabez Fitch

Jabez graduated from Harvard in 1694. He became a Fellow at Harvard and then was ordained minister in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1703. He took over a church in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (then part of Massachusetts) in 1725 and remained there until his death on November 22, 1746.

i. Elizabeth Fitch b: 16 Aug 1705 in Ipswich, Mass.; d. 1774 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire; m. 1728 to John Wibird , Sr. b: 20 Oct 1705 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire
ii. John Fitch , M. D. b: 18 Aug 1709 in Ipswich, Mass.; d. 26 OCT 1736 in Newbury, Mass.
iii. James Fitch b: 19 Jun 1712; d. 1722
iv. Margaret Fitch b: 15 Nov 1715 in Ipswich, Mass.; d. 1742 in Salem, Mass.; m. 1739 to Henry Gibbs , Jr., Librarian b: 13 May 1709 in Watertown, Mass. d. 1759 of measles. After Margaret died, he married Katherine Willard in 1747.
At age seven, Henry lost his mother and seven years later, while a sophomore at Harvard, he lost his father as well. As the only surviving son (he also had two sisters), Henry came into a considerable inheritance from both sides of the family and was able to live comfortably, if not lavishly. Henry graduated with the class of 1726, but remained at college as a resident graduate, earning a second degree in 1729 and serving as college librarian from 1730 to 1734. Leaving Harvard and Boston behind, he sold off his property in the city and relocated to Salem to begin a career as a merchant, never attaining the success of the previous generations of Gibbs. In 1737, he met and began to court Margaret Fitch, daughter of Rev. Jabez Fitch of Portsmouth, a niece of his brother-in-law. The couple wed on January 31, 1739, but the marriage was not to last. Margaret died suddenly only three years later, leaving two daughters, one of whom shortly followed her mother in death.
Henry remarried in 1747, selecting the much younger Katherine Willard, daughter of the Provincial Secretary, for his second wife. This marriage further cemented the prominent place of the Gibbs in Salem society but brought comparatively little lucre, and only the fortunate bequest of £500 from a friend, William Lynde, helped the Gibbs maintain their lifestyle and social obligations. A theological liberal and political supporter of the power of the crown and broad colonial obligations, Gibbs held several important local and provincial offices during the next several years, including justice of the peace (appt. 1753), judge, delegate in the House of Representatives (three terms, beginning in 1753), and Clerk of the House (1755-1759). In February, 1759, at what should have been the peak of his career, he contracted measles, leaving five children and an insolvent estate with a meager 10s allotted to each child.
Among the more important materials in the Gibbs papers are Henry Gibbs’ (1709-1759) copies of 21 of his 27 courtship letters to his first wife, Margaret Fitch, written between December 27th, 1737 and December 19th, 1738 (the first of the letters preserved is numbered “6”, and they continue in unbroken succession until one month before the couple was married). These letters provide an intimate view of the initiation and pursuit of a relationship between members of two of Salem’s elite families. From the beginning, the letters are familiar, affectionate, even flirtatious, becoming ever more so over the course of the year. “I ought to look upon myself as somewhat unreasonable in my desires,” he wrote in letter no. 8 (the third preserved), “when ye more I am with you, ye more Covetous I am of being so, & yt it is with regrett yt I am even now at a distance from you: however, I can’t but regard it as a sure presage yt (if ever it be my happy Lott to live with you) your Company will alwaies be a Source of ye most pleasing entertainment & Delight to me.” Elsewhere (letter 10), he wrote “When I mention ye friendship I have for you, I am far from confining it to a cold, Stoical Approbation of ye good qualities I think you possessed of, but include in it all yt is meant by Love considered as an Affection of ye Soul. Tis this tender passion joined with that regard & esteem which reason and judgement approve of, yt is ye only foundation of ye pleasure yt is ever found in Friendship.” In this correspondence, Henry eloquently describes weddings, a Quaker meeting he attended, the love lives of acquaintances, local gossip, and above all, often at considerable length, his ideas of love. At several crucial junctures in letter 16, Henry resorted to the use of a code to disguise passages dealing with an apparently embarrassing encounter with a newly married friend. The letters are a rich source for the study of views of love and marriage among the upper classes in colonial Massachusetts.

Thomas Fitch was a cloth manufacturer in Bocking, Essex, England. He was mentioned in his father’s will in 1605 as “my eldest son.” He inherited an estate near Braintree, Essex, England. He was involved in a number of land transactions. His will was dated Dec. 11, 1632, proved Feb. 12, 1632/33.
The Fitch family traces its first settlement in England to the era of the Norman Conquest A.D. 1066. Morant’s “History of County Essex, England,” says that ‘Robert Gernon or de Gernon came from France along with William the Conqueror and that he was a relative of the Conqueror and of the House of Bologne. One of his sons took the name of de Montfitchet, or de Montifiquet – the name is written these three ways in the Doomsday Book.

Thomas’ great grandparents were Thomas FITCH & Agnes ALGER Thomas Fitch was born about 1465 at Fitche Castle?, Essex, England, because he was said to be three years old at the time his father’s death was reported at the manor court of Widdington on 9 April 1468. He was admitted to his inheritance at Widdington court 9 Nov 1487, i.e., when he was about 21 years old. Thomas married Agnes Algore before 22 Dec1490 when they received land from her parents, Robert and Margaret Algore. Agnes was the only child and heiress of her father. She brought Brazen Head Farm in Lindsell, Essex, to the marriage. In the same year, Agnes received more land when her mother, Margaret Algore, died. In 1497, Thomas received an additional grant of land at the manor court of Lindsell Hall, and in Nov 1505, he took possession of land, which his father John had left in custody of his widowed mother, Juliana.
Thomas died, 21 April 1514, as commemorated on a brass in the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Lindsell. Agnes died before 3 May 1527. Beneath them on the brass are images of eleven children ~ six sons and five daughters.
On the floor before the chancel arch is a well engraved and perfectly preserved brass of the Fytch family inscribed:
“Here lie Thomas ffytch and Agnes his wife which same Thomas died the 21st day of April in the year of our Lord 1514. On whose souls may God have mercy.”
A good description of the brass is provided by Christy:
“The male figure (16 1/2 inches in height) has a half-turn to the left; is bare-headed, his long hair falling upon his shoulders; and his upraised hands, instead of being placed together as usual, are held apart. He is attired in the long gown of a civilian, beneath which his broad round-toed shoes are just apparent. It is open and turned back at the neck and down the front, showing the lining of the fur, which is also apparent at the wrists, where the extremely wide, open sleeves are turned back into cuffs. The female figure (16 1/2 inches in height) has a half-turn to the right, and the hands are placed together. Her long gown, cut low at the neck, fur-trimmed at the bottom, and having tight sleeves, turned back at the wrists into broad cuffs, which are fur covered, is loosely confined at the waist by a girdle, of which the ornamentally embroidered end falls nearly to the ground. She wears the pedimental head-dress.
The six sons (about 4 3/4 inches in height) are placed beneath their father,
while the five daughters (about 4 1/2 inches in height) are placed beneath their mother.
The former have a half-turn to the left: the latter, to the right. Both wear costumes almost exactly similar to those of their parents, except that the gowns of the sons lack fur trimming, while the costumes of the daughters lack both fur trimming and the ceinture, and their head-dresses, having no backs, allow their long hair to fall down their backs to far below the level of the waist.” The inscription (on a plate 17 by 2 1/2 inches) immediately below the principal figure reads: Translated: Here lies Thomas Fytche and Agnes his wife, which same Thomas died the twenty-first day of April, in the year of our Lord 1514; on whose souls may God have mercy.”
Thomas and Agnes are also commemorated in a stained glass window in the same church. This window, and a second showing their son William and his first wife, Elizabeth, were probably paid for by William, who had the advowson of the church (the right to be the patron of the church and to recommend its clergyman) from King Henry VIII.
Except for Thomas’ and Agnes’ second son, William, who prospered and had three knighted descendants, the other children were somewhat less prosperous. According to Wagner, By the early seventeenth century they had included apothecaries, clothiers and cloth makers [like our Thomas], staplers and leather sellers, several clergymen and a naval surgeon.
Thomas’ great-great grandparents were John FYCHE and Juliana [__?__]. John FYCH, FYCCHE, FYTCHE (William) was born no later than 1437, because in 1467 he was said to be “aged 30 years and more” First mentioned on a Court Plea in 1458, which said he was “of Wykyn.”[2] On 14 May 1467, he was again acknowledged as son and next heir and admitted to his father’s estate; and, on the same day, he received additional grants of land. He married Juliana ______. John’s death was reported at the court session of 9 April 1468, at which time it was stated that “Thomas is his son and next heir and aged three years.” Custody of the land was given to Juliana, who later married Richard Westley. She probably died about 1475, because a 1505 court record indicates that at that time she had been dead for 30 years.
Thomas’ 3rd Great Grandfather was William FECCHE, FICCHE, FYCCHE, FICHE, FYCHE, FYTCHE, FITCHE* of Wicken Bonhunt, Essex Co., England. First mentioned on the Plea Rolls of 1428. Received grants of land at the manor court of Widdington in 1440/1 and in 1458/9. Death reported at Widdington court on 24 April 1466.[2] Wife’s name unknown. The court post mortem inquisition stated that “John Fytche is son and next heir of the same William.”

Source: Portrait and Biographical Album of Green Lake, Marquette and Waushara Counties, Wisconsin, published 1890 by Acme Publishing Co., Chicago, Pages 450 - 451 Hon. George Fitch, the present Senator for the 9th Wisconsin Senatorial District, and the junior member of the firm of Sacket & Finch, bankers of Berlin, was born in Glens Falls, Warren Co., N. Y., on Nov. 3, 1846, and is the son of Edward and Sarah (Roberts) Fitch. His father was born in Norwalk, Fairfield Co., Conn., and was of English Puritan descent. The Fitch family is one of the old historic families of America and boasts among its members and connections many men and women whose names bear honorable mention in the annals of their respective States. The name is of German origin, and the family history shows that Bocking, a village of Baintree, Essex Co., England, which is situated about forty miles northeast of London, and which was originally peopled by Flemish emigrants, was the home of Thomas Fitch, the progenitor of the American family. He had, if tradition is correct, five sons, three of whom are supposed to have died in their native land, while two, Thomas and Joseph, accompanied their mother to America after her husband's decease. Thomas and Joseph Fitch settled in Norwalk, Conn., about the year 1635. The former remained in that city, but Joseph removed to Norwich. Thomas Fitch was one of the forefathers of Norwalk and lived to extreme old age. His eldest son, Thomas, died in 1690. Thomas Fitch, the third of that name, son of Thomas Fitch, Jr., as he was designated in the old town records, but Capt. Thomas Fitch, as the court at the capital denominated him, was born in 1671. He was the King's Commissioner in Norwalk from 1691 to 1694, and the honored father, in 1699, of a son whose destiny it was to draft a new constitution for Yale College, and to frame laws which his Sovereign pronounced superior and to attain to the highest office in the colony. He had four children - Samuel, the Crown's Justice; Thomas, who became Governor of the Colony of Connecticut; James, Deputy to the General Assembly; and Elizabeth. Gov. Thomas Fitch was married in 1724 to Hannah Hall, and ten children were born to them - Col. Thomas Fitch, Jr.; Jonathan, Ebenezer, Hannah, Mary, Timothy, Hezekiah, Elizabeth, Esther and Giles. Col. Thomas Fitch was born in 1725, and was an important personage in the Colony. He was Lord George's Justice from 1761 to 1772, and in May, 1768, was made Lieutenant-Colonel of the 9th Regiment and later was the senior Colonel, commanding sixteen Colonial regiments. Gov. Fitch was twenty years Chief Justice of the Connecticut Colony, and author of the best code of laws published in his day. Samuel M. Fitch, the maternal grandfather of George Fitch, whose name heads this sketch, married Esther Fitch, daughter of Timothy and granddaughter of Gov. Fitch, she being the second cousin of her husband. Their children were Betsy, who became Mrs. David Roberts; Edward, of Glens Falls, N. Y., and Samuel Marvin, of Norwalk. Samuel M. Fitch, Sr., died at the age of eighty-seven years and his wife when seventy-four years of age. Their son, Edward, was born in Norwalk, Conn., and married Sarah Roberts of the same State. She was born of Welsh parentage, and was reared under the auspices of the Society of Friends or Quakers. She was a woman of superior intellectual attainments, and possessed great energy and ambition, and her influence in her family for their good was felt and appreciated by husband and children, whose confidence and love she enjoyed to the day of her death. Edward Fitch removed in early life to Glens Falls, N. Y., where he was engaged in the lumber trade. The Fitch family is one of the oldest and largest in the United States, and numbers among its members citizens of high repute, among whom we may mention the Hon. Graham M. Fitch, M. D., of Indiana; Congressman Thomas Fitch, of Nevada; Lieut. Gen. Jabez, and Judge John Fitch, of Ohio; Lieut. Col. Fitch, of California; President Fitch, of Williams College; Judge Fitz-Gaines, and Drs. S. S. and Almeron Fitch, of New York; Col. Asa Fitch, of Connecticut; Major William Fitch, of New Haven, Conn., the Fitches of Fitchville; and the Norwich and Willimantic Fitches. In Colonial days they were classed among the most prominent families in New England. Major James Fitch contributed the nails and glass for the original Yale College; John Fitch was the inventor of the first steamboat, but Gov. Thomas Fitch was the most distinguished member of the family. George Fitch the subject of this sketch, received a common-school education, and when eighteen years of age went to New York City, where he was engaged in the fruit business. In 1871 he came to Berlin, Wis., and engaged in the lumber business with De Witt Palmeter, continuing in that line until September, 1876, when he sold out and formed the existing partnership with George B. Sacket in the banking business. (A history of the bank appears elsewhere.) He also became interested in cranberry culture on a large scale in partnership with De Witt Palmeter and Frank Stanley. They have 2,500 acres devoted to that use, partly in Winnebago and partly in Waushara counties. The company has invested more that $100,000 in improvements on their marsh, and have 400 acres of bearing vines. They have gathered as high as six thousand barrels of fruit of one crop, which was not more than two-thirds of the berries grown that season, one third of being lost. While the crop has never been an entire failure, there are seasons when the insects and early frosts greatly reduce the yield. With long experience Mr. Fitch thinks it is now certain that with their superior advantages for flooding the vines, that they can be very sure of a paying crop every season. He is interested in buying and selling pine lands, of which he and his partner handle large tracts. Mr. Fitch was married in Oshkosh, Wis., Feb. 15, 1992, the lady of his choice being Miss Helen P. Porter, daughter of Hon. Joseph Porter, an early settler and extensive lumber manufacturer of Wisconsin. The Porter family, of which Mrs. Fitch is a descendant, is one of the oldest and most distinguished in the country. Her ancestors joined the Massachusetts Colony in 1628, and were of the English Puritans. The name of Porter has always been conspicuous in the civil and military annals of America since that early day. Mr. and Mrs. Fitch is a Republican in politics, and has taken an active interest in the success of that party. He was elected Mayor of Berlin in 1885, serving one term, and in 1886, was elected State Senator to represent the 9th District, which comprises the counties of Green Lake, Portage, Waushara, and all of Marathon situated west of the Wisconsin River, except the part of the city of Wausaw that lies on the western bank. He was appointed and served as Chairman of the Committee on Railroads, one of the most important committees of the Senate, and won the approval of his constituents by the able manner in which he defended the rights of the people against the unjust demands of powerful corporations. Mr. Fitch enjoys an extensive acquaintance throughout the State, and is highly respected and esteemed for his ability, integrity and social qualities. He has been successful in his business enterprises, and is of well-known personal responsibility as are his partners. The banking house of Sacket & Fitch is held to be one of the solid financial institutions of the Fox River valley.

invention, the act of bringing ideas or objects together in a novel way to create something that did not exist before.
Building models of what might be
Ever since the first prehistoric stone tools, humans have lived in a world shaped by invention. Indeed, the brain appears to be a natural inventor. As part of the act of perception, humans assemble, arrange, and manipulate incoming sensory information so as to build a dynamic, constantly updated model of the outside world. The survival value of such a model lies in the fact that it functions as a template against which to match new experiences, so as to rapidly identify anything anomalous that might be life-threatening. Such a model would also make it possible to predict danger. The predictive act would involve the construction of hypothetical models of the way the world might be at some future point. Such models could include elements that might, for whatever reason, be assembled into novel submodels (inventive ideas).
One of the earliest and most literal examples of this model-building paradigm in action was the ancient Mesopotamian invention of writing. As early as 8000 bce tiny geometric clay models, used to represent sheep and grain, were kept in clay envelopes, to be used as inventory tallies or else to represent goods during barter. Over time, the tokens were pressed onto the exterior of the wet envelope, which at some point was flattened into a tablet. By about 3100 bce the impressions had become abstract designs marked on the tablet with a cut reed stalk. These pictograms, known today as cuneiform, were the first writing. And they changed the world.
Inventions almost always cause change. Paleolithic stone weapons made hunting possible and thereby triggered the emergence of permanent top-down command structures. The printing press, introduced by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, once and for all curtailed the traditional authority of elders. The typewriter, brought onto the market by Christopher Latham Sholes in the 1870s, was instrumental in freeing women from housework and changing their social status for good (and also increasing the divorce rate).
What inventors are
Britannica Quiz
History of Scientists, Inventors, and Inventions Quiz
Inventors are often extremely observant. In the 1940s Swiss engineer George de Mestral saw tiny hooks on the burrs clinging to his hunting jacket and invented the hook-and-loop fastener system known as Velcro.
Invention can be serendipitous. In the late 1800s a German medical scientist, Paul Ehrlich, spilled some new dye into a Petri dish containing bacilli, saw that the dye selectively stained and killed some of them, and invented chemotherapy. In the mid-1800s an American businessman, Charles Goodyear, dropped a rubber mixture containing sulfur on his hot stove and invented vulcanization.

Inventors do it for money. Austrian chemist Auer von Welsbach, in developing the gas mantle in the 1880s, provided 30 extra years of profitability to the shareholders of gaslight companies (which at the time were threatened by the new electric light).
Inventions are often unintended. In the early 1890s Edward Acheson, an American entrepreneur in the field of electric lighting, was seeking to invent artificial diamonds when an electrified mix of coke and clay produced the ultrahard abrasive Carborundum. In an attempt to develop artificial quinine in the mid-1800s, British chemist William Perkin’s investigation of coal tar instead created the first artificial dye, tyrian purple—which later fell into Ehrlich’s Petri dish.
Inventors solve puzzles. In the course of investigating why suction pumps would lift water only about 9 metres (30 feet), Evangelista Torricelli identified air pressure and invented the barometer.
Inventors are dogged. The American inventor Thomas Edison, who tested thousands of materials before he chose bamboo to make the carbon filament for his incandescent lightbulb, described his work as "one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” At his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, Edison’s approach was to identify a potential gap in the market and fill it with an invention. His workers were told, “There’s a way to do it better. Find it.”
Serendipity and inspiration
The key to inventive success often requires being in the right place at the right time. Christopher Latham Sholes and Carlos Glidden took their invention to arms manufacturer Remington just when that company’s production lines were running down after the end of the American Civil War. A quick retool turned Remington into the world’s first typewriter manufacturer.
An invention developed for one purpose will sometimes find use in entirely different circumstances. In medieval Afghanistan somebody invented a leather loop to hang on the side of a camel for use as a step when loading the animal. By 1066 the Normans had put the loop on each side of a horse and invented the stirrup. With their feet thus firmly anchored, at the Battle of Hastings that year Norman knights hit opposing English foot soldiers with their lances and the full weight of the horse without being unseated by the shock of the encounter. The Normans won the battle and took over England (and made English the French-Saxon mix it is today).
One invention can inspire another. Gaslight distribution pipes gave Edison the idea for his electricity network. Perforated cards used to control the Jacquard loom led Herman Hollerith to invent punch cards for tabulator use in the 1890 U.S. census.
The quickening pace of invention
Above all, invention appears primarily to involve a “1 + 1 = 3” process similar to the brain’s model-building activity, in which concepts or techniques are brought together for the first time and the outcome is more than the sum of the parts (e.g., spray + gasoline = carburetor).
The more often ideas come together, the more frequently invention occurs. The rate of invention increased sharply, each time, when the exchange of ideas became easier after the invention of the printing press, telecommunications, the computer, and above all the Internet. Today new fields such as data mining and nanotechnology offer would-be inventors (or semi-intelligent software programs) massive amounts of “1 + 1 = 3” opportunities. As a result, the rate of innovation seems poised to increase dramatically in the coming decades.
It is going to become harder than ever to keep up with the secondary results of invention as the general public gains access to information and technology denied them for millennia and as billions of brains, each with its own natural inventive capabilities, innovate faster than social institutions can adapt. In some cases, as occurred during the global financial crisis of 2007–08, institutions will face severe challenges from the introduction of technologies for which their old-fashioned infrastructures will be ill-prepared. It may be that the only safe way to deal with the potentially disruptive effects of an avalanche of invention, so as to develop the new social processes required to manage a permanent state of change, will be to do what the brain does: invent a comprehensive virtual world in which one can safely test innovative ideas before applying them.

His career included appointments to such prestigious posts as probate judge and state attorney,and he served as a representative in Congress and the Connecticut General Assembly. His most renown contributions, however, came as Connecticut’s 14th governor, when, among other accomplishments, Cleveland passed legislation placing limits on child labor.
Born February 16, 1799, Chauncey Cleveland grew up in Hampton, Connecticut, and attended the town’s public schools. Cleveland then taught school from the age of 15 until he was 20, and he also served in the state militia.
Though he never attended college, Cleveland pursued an interest in the law—studying under Daniel Frost of Canterbury. He passed the bar in 1819, at the age of 20, and opened a practice in Hampton.
Connecticut’s 14th Governor
Cleveland’s foray into politics started with his election to the Connecticut House of Representatives in 1826. He spent the better part of the next decade serving there, twice as Speaker of the House. It was a period of his life that also witnessed him serve as the state’s attorney (1832) and as Connecticut’s bank commissioner (1838).
In 1841, Cleveland moved to Norwich and, the following year, began serving the first of two consecutive terms as Connecticut’s governor. During his time in office he passed legislation that prohibited children under 14 from working more than 10 hours per day. He also brought an end to the era of debtor’s prison in the state, passed funding for the creation of a new mental health facility, and provided extra legal protection for Jewish houses of worship in Connecticut.
After failing to win reelection in 1844, Cleveland returned to his law practice in Hampton but soon found himself back in the political spotlight. He served in the Connecticut House of Representatives from 1847 to 1849 and then in the US House of Representatives from 1849 until 1853.
In the years that followed, an abhorrence for slavery inspired Cleveland to join the fledgling Republican Party. He organized the formation of the party in Connecticut and served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1856 and ’60. In 1861 he became a member of the peace convention held in Washington, DC, with the intention of steering the nation clear of the impending war.
After another stint in the State House of Representatives, which witnessed another term as Speaker of the House, Cleveland finally retired from politics, spending the rest of his years practicing law and engaging in a love of agriculture. He died in Hampton on June 6, 1887, and received a burial at the Hampton South Cemetery. | |||||

] | null | [] | null | null | 13. Walter FITCH was born on 20 Jan 1854 in Islington, London, Middlesex, ENG. He Citizenshp on 23 May 1894 in Circuit Court of Marquette County, Marquette, MI. He had petitiioned to become a citizen 30 Sept 1876. He was elected as in 1896 in Beacon, Marquette, MI. Board of Control of the Michigan College of Mines- President of
the Board of Control. Term expires June 9, 1905 He was elected as in 1899 in Michigan College of Mines, Houghton, Marquette, MI. According to the records from the Michigan Technological
University (which is what the Michigan College of Mines is now
called) Walter Fitch was on the Board of Control of the
Michigan College of mines from 1899 to 1904 and then again in
1907 to 1908. He Newspaper about 1900 in Beacon, Marcotte, MI. The Champion Iron Company, of which Mr. Fitch is agent and
superintendent, is the owner of extensive mines at Beacon,
Michigan. The company was organized in 1868 to operate at this
point, and the mine was then opened and actively operated until
July, 1893, when it was closed down and remained in a state of
inactivity until January 1, 1895, when operations were resumed
in two shafts. The company owns 15,000 acres of land in
Marquette county. The mine has nine shafts, six of which are
capable of production and the maximum depth in 1,200 feet.
They mine crystalline iron ores of magnetic and specular
varieties and the total product of the mine up to the present
time is 3,000,000 tons, the ores beings shipped to Cleveland,
Ohio, and other Lake Erie ports. The present officers of the
Champion Iron Company are: Joseph S. Fay, Jr. of Boston,
Massachusetts, president; W.E. Stone, also of Boston,
vice-president; W.B. Bosson, of Boston, secretary; and W.
Fitch, of Beacon, Michigan, agent and superintendent. Grant S.
Barber, mining engineer and chemist, who was a student in the
State University ;of Ann Arbor, has been connected with the
company for four years.
The former agent, Alfred Kidder, of Marquette, held the
position form 1874 until 1893, when he retired. It was under
his management that the mine reached its career of prosperity.
Before he assumed control the career of the mine had been a
checkered one, and at the time he took charge an indebtedness
of half a million dollars hung over the company, owing largely
to inefficient management in previous years; but rapidly
mastering the situation he placed the business on a paying
basis, wiped out the debt and the company was started on a
career of almost phenomenal prosperity.
The successor of Mr. Kidder,-the present manager, -Walter
Fitch, is a native of London, England, born in 1854, and
acquired his education in the public schools of that city. The
first twenty years of his life were passed there, when he
resolved to make a home beyond the Atlantic. He sailed for
America in 1874, and made his way to Michigan. In 1881, he
became agent for the Pascoe& Dalliba mines at Champion, now
closed, and in 1884, he formed a connection with the Champion
Iron Company in the capacity of superintendent. Since 1893, he
has served both as superintendent and agent, and though his
duties are onerous and his responsibilities great, he is equal
to the work, and by his able discharge of the tasks which fall
to him he has won the confidence and respect of the officers of
the company and of all with whom he has been brought in
contact. All the newer improvements of the mines have been
added during his term as superintendent. When in full working
force between five and six hundred men are employed and it will
thus be seen that the superintendent is no sinecure.
In the community where he resides Mr. Fitch is regarded as a
leading and representative citizen. In his political
affiliations he is a stalwart Republican and has served as
Township Supervisor of Champion township, while at this writing
he is president of the Board of Education of that township. He appeared on the census on 30 Jul 1900 in Champion Township, Marquette, MI. Fitch, Walter; Head

Walter Fitch Victim of Heart Malady
Walter Fitch, 83, who rose from mine worker to a prominent
figure in the mining industry of America died Friday at 4:05 am
at the home of his daughter Mrs J Fred Johnson, 713 East South
Temple Street, of a heart disease. At the time of his death he
was president of the Chief Consolidated mining company at
Eureka, Utah.
At the bedside when death came were his widow, Mrs Exilda
Marcott Fitch; Mrs Johnson and three sons Howard, Cecil, and
Walter Fitch, Jr.
Born in London, England, January 20, 1854, he was a son of
Alfred and Rebecca Fitch and had the usual education of English
private schools. First finding employment in a lawyer's
office, he later worked in the stationary and printing
business.
Began Mining Work
His mining career began when he was 20 years old. At that time
he became dissatisfied with his position in England and came to
America, where he found employment at the mines in Michigan.
Later he was shipping clerk for a lake boat company at
Marquette, Mich. He was made mining manager of the Daliber
and Pasco Mining company and later manager of the Champion
Mining company at Beacon, Mich., spending 30 years in the
mining industry there.
He came to Salt Lake City in 1903 as manager of the United
States Smelting , Refining and Mining company, later returning
to Michigan (this is where the page ends. I don't have the rest

Walter Fitch, Sr., and experienced mine operator from Michigan,
came to Eureka in 1906 and secured control of the Little Chief
mine. Mr. Fitch and some of his associates from Michigan
reorganized the mine under its present name, The Chief
Consolidated Mining Company, and through the years have
expanded its holdings from 20 acres to more than 16 square
miles.
The mine was the mainstay of Eureka for a number of years. At
one time more than 600 men were employed at the mine. It was a
blow to the town when the mine closed in June of 1957. The
mine had produced 50,000,000 dollars of strategic metals during
two World wars and the Korean conflict. The reason given by
one of the company officials at the time of the shut-down was
the high cost of underground pumping, the low prices of metals
and the high cost of labor.
Mr. Fitch's leasing system was one of the first to give the
employee a chance to share in the profits in the mine and many
of the successful leasers shared in the profits in a big way.
Mr. Fitch will long be remembered for his generosity to anyone
in need, and for his backing worthwhile civic projects. He
preferred to keep in the background and did not seek publicity
of any kind for his many charitable acts, which were known only
to those in need of assistance. After his death, his sons,
Cecil Fitch, Sr. was elected President and General Manager of
the mine, and carried on his father's policies in mining and
his interest in the town and its people. He and his father
will always be remembered as kingly, courteous gentlemen, and
for keeping Eureka from becoming a ghost town.
Cecil Fitch, Sr., retired in the spring of 1956, at which time
his son, Cecil Fitch, Jr., was elected President and General
Manager of the Fitch holdings. For more than 50 years, the
Fitch family furnished employment to hundreds of men and paid
thousands of dollars in taxes to Juab Co.
Mr. Fitch's son, Cecil Jr., and two of his daughters and their
families, Mrs. Harold (Adelaide) Spencer, and Mrs (Ann)
Quigley, still reside in Eureka. Mrs. Maude Hilsdale, a
daughter of Walter Fitch, Sr., lives here during the summer
months and spends the winter months in California.
The Chief Consolidated mine is engaged in new ventures in the
East Tintic area. Some of the better values encountered in the
East Tintic area is on ground controlled by Chief Consolidated
Mining Company. He has reference number 4 Fit 1. Walter Fitch, Sr. of Eureka, Utah and his two brothers, Ernest
Fitch of Detroit and Aubrey Fitch of San Diego, Calif.,
descendants of Richard Fitch of Steeple Bumpstead, Essex,
testator of 1494; came to the United States from England in
1874.
Ernest Fitch settled first at St. Ignace, Mich., about 1880 and
married Emily Louisa Wray of Canada, whose father was a
minister of the English church, holding pulpits in many
Canadian towns. Four children were born of this union, all in
St. Ignace, Mich., as follows: Commander Aubrey Wray Fitch,
USN, born 1883, now stationed at San Diego, Calif., with the US
Navy Pacific fleet; Basil Francis Fitch, born 1884, in 1929 an
officer of the Paramount Aircraft Corporation of Saginaw,
Mich.; Nora K., born 1886; d. 1910; Lola Vera, b. 1888, married
Robert K. Slaymaker of 1419 Kensington Road, Grosse Pointe
Park, Detroit. Ernest Fitch moved to Detroit in 1905 and in
1929 resides there at 331 Manistique Ave.
Aubrey Fitch, brother of Walter and Ernest, is unmarried and
resides (1929) at Tintic, Utah and San Diego, Calif. All three
brothers engaged in the mining business.
Walter, Ernest and Aubrey Fitch are direct descendants of
Richard Fitch of Steeple Bumpstead, County Essex, England,
whose will was proved in 1494. Richard Fitch of Steeple
Bumpstead is acknowledged to have been a descendant of the
ancient Fitches of Widdingotn and Lindsell, Essex.
Richard Fitch of Steeple Bumpstead was the ancestor of Sir
Thomas Fitch of Eltham, Kent, who was knighted by Charles II,
1679, served the office of High Sheriff in Kent, and was
created baronet Sept 7, 1688. Sir Comport Fitch, Bart. of
Eltham, Kent, son of Sir Thomas Fitch, took up the Fitch crest
by permission of the Fitch family of Lindsell, Essex.

who descended from the ancient family of Fitch in Essex, having
been knighted by King Charles II, was created a baronet in
1688. He married Anne, only daughter and heir of Richard
Comport, Esq. of Eltham, and died Sept 16, 1688 and was

Baronet, and had John Fytche Barker; Born July 1741.
Ernest Fitch sent the writer a letter he had received from his
sister, Mrs. Charlotte (Fitch) Ahmad of "The Cottage", Langton
Road, Worthing, Sussex, England. Mrs Ahmad states that her
uncle, Frederick Fitch, Esq., of Hadleigh House, Highbury, New
Park, Middlesex, submitted the following pedigree to the
Heralds' College, London, and permission was granted to use the
Fitch coat-of-arms, with one change, that the sword in the
leopard's mouth be broken in the middle to indicate a missing
link between the very old Fitch family of County Essex and the
later branch.

Eureka is located approximately seventy miles southwest of Salt
Lake City in Juab County. Incorporated as a city in 1892,
Eureka became the financial center for the Tintic Mining
District, a wealthy gold and silver mining area in Utah and
Juab counties. The district was organized in 1869 and by 1899
became one of the top mineral producing areas in Utah. Eureka
housed the "Big Four" mines -- Bullion Beck and Champion,
Centennial Eureka, Eureka Hill, and Gemini-and later the Chief
Consolidated Mining Company. The Chief was developed by the
Walter Fitch family, who not only had their own mine in Eureka,
but also the company headquarters, family residences, and
family cemetery -- a most unique feature in any western mining
town.
As with other mining towns, Eureka developed from a camp to a
settlement then town. It benefited from competing
transportation services of the Union Pacific (1889) and the
Denver and Rio Grande Western (1891) railroads. Census
statistics indicate the following population figures through
1930, when the impact of the Depression changed its fortunes:
1880 - 122; 1890 - 1,733; 1900 - 3,325; 1910 - 3,829; 1920 -
3,908; 1930 - 3,216. That Eureka's population exhibited ebbs
and flows between census years was attributed to the transitory
character of a mining town. By the 1980s the population fell
below 700.
Eureka's role as the central financial point for the district
insured its survival. It housed business establishments,
financial institutions, local and county governmental buildings
including Eureka City Hall (1899) and a Juab County Courthouse
(1892), various churches, and the meeting places for numerous
labor, social, and fraternal organizations. Eureka became
especially active as a successful political field for Utah's
Socialist party. Mining entrepreneurs such as John Q. Packard,
John Beck, Jesse Knight, Walter Fitch Sr., and others loomed as
important figures in Eureka and Tintic history. A relative calm
and peaceful labor environment marked Eureka's past.
The Chief Consolidated operated during the 1930s and into the
1950s, helping to keep Eureka's economy afloat. Small scale
mining operations have continued, but most residents work in
valley towns and for government services, such as the Tooele
Army Depot. Being located on Utah Highway 6, Eureka is on a
main trail to the Little Sahara Sand Dunes area. In 1979 Eureka
was placed in the National Register of Historic Places as part
of the Tintic Mining District Multiple Resource Area,
recognizing the importance of remaining buildings and sites.

McCune, History of Juab County (1947); Philip F. Notarianni,

Walter Fitch, Sr. is a prominent figure in the mining circles
of Utah. He makes his home at Eureka, where he supervises the
mining interests which he and his sons projected some twelve
years since. He was born in London, England, January 20, 1854,
a son of Alfred Fitch, a descendant of the old Fitch family of
Essex and Norfolk counties, England. The son Walter was
seventh in order of birth in a family of nine children. He came
to the United States in 1874, going to the mining region of
Upper Michigan, where he engaged in mining work, ultimately
having charge of and becoming the manager of a number of mines
there and in Minnesota, representing prominent Boston and
Pittsburgh interests. After twenty odd years service with
these he was superintendent of the underground operations of
the Calumet and Hecla and afterward was general manager of the
United States Mining & Smelting Company of Utah, giving up
these to take up like work for himself.
It was in Michigan that Mr. Fitch was married to Miss Exilda
Marcotte, a native of the state of New York. Mr and Mrs
Fitch's three sons and two daughters were all born in Michigan.
After living there for thirty years Mr. Fitch and his family
moved to Utah, where he and his sons have, for the last twelve
years, been engaged in building up the business of their
company-The Chief Consolidated Mining Company. The scene of
their operations is in the Tintic mining district and it was
here they made their search for and found the mines which now
rank as the largest in the district and as silver producers are
among the largest in the country. After living in Salt Lake
City for two years the family, in 1909, decided to live at the
mines, and to this action Mr. Fitch believes large credit is to
be given for the successful results gained.
The eldest of the sons, Howard Fitch, is engaged in the
geological department of the work. He served during the World
War with the One Hundred Fifteenth Engineers of the Sixth Army
Corps, and was with the troops for eleven months in France.
Cecil Fitch and Walter Fitch, Jr., both graduates of the
Michigan College of Mines, were the active factors in the
development and opening up of the mines of the Chief
Consolidated, Cecil has been twelve years at the work and is
now the general manager, while Walter, Jr., after devoting
seven years to this, took up mining work on his own account and
now has a very successful business as a contractor of mining,
operating in several states. The eldest daughter, Lillian,
became the wife of J. Fred Johnson, who holds the position of
superintendent of the Chief Consolidated Company. He served
with the One Hundred Sixteenth Engineers of the Forty-First
Division in France. Maud, the second daughter, is well known
to the people of the state and in her own town for her
activities and her benevolent and enterprising characteristics.
She served in the World War with the English, Hackett-Lowther
Ambulance Unit, which operated with the Third French Army in
the Compeigne and Saint Quentin campaigns. She received the
decoration of the Croix de Guerre.
The Fitch family are communicants of the Catholic Church and
are its strongest supporters in their own village. Mr. Fitch
and his sons are members of the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers and of its local chapter, and also
of the Alta and University Clubs. Mr. Fitch is a member of the
Commercial Club of Salt Lake City and of the Rocky Mountain
Club of New York, the Mining and Metallurgical Society of
America, of the Houghton Club of Michigan, one of the vice
governors of the chapter of the American Mining Congress and
one of the regents of the University of Utah. He is president
of his own company-the Chief Consolidated. He became a citizen
of this country in 1876 and has always been a republican in
politics.

The entrance in 1909 of the Chief Consolidated Mining Company
into the area proved of great importance to Eureka and the
Tintic Mining District. Walter Fitch, Sr., had entered Tintic
earlier, purchasing shares of the Little Chief Mining Company.
On January 21, 1909, the company was incorporated, and by March
operations launched. Fitch erected a home near the Chief
surface plant. Completed in June, the dwelling was constructed
by H.C. Campbell of Eureka. In July, Fitch organized the
Eureka City Mining Company, with the explicit purpose of
prospecting under the Eureka townsite. The owner of an acre of
ground was to receive 1000 shares of stock for mineral rights
to the property. According to records at the Juab County
Recorder's office mineral rights to most properties were indeed
purchased in 1909. By July 1910 the Reporter gave notice that
the Chief Consolidated and Eureka City Mining companies were
consolidating. Fitch's ventures proved successful. A December
1909 account reported that fifty men were being employed, an
assay office and a six-compartment ore bin completed, and that
the company sought the building of a machine shop. In
addition, at that time a new hoisting plant was to be installed
in the future. Within the next decade the Chief would emerge
as a giant in Tintic.
Another mining company, the Utah Mineral Concentrating Company
built a concentration plant of 100 tons daily capacity in the
latter months on 1914. The experimental mill, intended to
concentrate ores primarily form the Chief, was built near the
Plutus property east of the Chief No. 1 shaft, about 200 feet
from the switch leading to the Eagle and Blue Bell and Victoria
mines. Henry M. Atkinson, general manager of Utah Mineral,
took charge of construction. By January 1915 the mill was
reportedly doing "very satisfactory work," but in 1916 the
plant closed for an indefinite period due to financial
difficulties."
The Chief Consolidated Mining Company surged ahead in the
1910's. Just southeast of the shaft the area known as
Fitchville developed. Walter Fitch, Sr. had built a home
patterned in a Swiss chalet-type of architecture in 1909
(remodeled in 1917). During 1912-16 other structures were
erected, and as Fitchville evolved main dwellings were erected
for Cecil Fitch, Sr.; Howard Fitch, the Chief's geologist; J.
Fred Johnson, who had married Lilian Fitch and was the
superintendent of the Chief; and Walter Fitch, Jr. (later the
Hilsdale home), the Chief's contractor. These dwellings were
designed by architect Walter J. Cooper who had arrived in Utah
in 1910 to work for Henry Ives Cobb, the architect who
designed, among other buildings, the Boston and Newhouse
buildings in Salt Lake City
New buildings were erected at Homansville in 1916 where the
Chief maintained a lime quarry. Later in 1917 new ore bins,
designed by Cooper, were erected at the mine, and work
commenced on a shaft by Walter Fitch, Jr. In 1918 a brick
change room east of the hoisting plant was built. A highlight
of the Chief's construction efforts centered about the sinking
in 1918 of a new three-compartment shaft, known as Chief No. 2,
about one-half mile east of Chief No. 1. This shaft proved
unique in being a triple compartment "concrete-lined" shaft.
Walter Fitch, Jr., contractor, sank the shaft and the concrete
work completed by the Villadsen Brothers, Salt Lake
contractors. The Chief became the first mine in Utah to try
out the advantages of a concrete shaft.
Other mines initiated various ventures. The Eagle and Blue
Bell erected a new ore house in 1912, and later in the year a
steel gallows frame glistened at the Iron Blossom No. 1 shaft.
Of particular impact was the construction in 1914 of a brick
sub-station by Utah Power and Light, near Fitchville, which
provided an improved source of electrical power. The year 1915
witnessed increased activity in the shipping of various dumps.
Shipments were made from the Sioux mill and Eureka Hill mill
dumps. In addition, the Mammoth mine shipped about 4,000 tons
of tailings from the old mill near the McIntyre ranch. Such
activity continued sporadically throughout the 1915-18 period.
Leasing proved very successful during the same period. The
system involved the leasing of a block of ground within a mine,
necessitating the payment of royalties to the owning company.
In 1915 hundreds of lessors were reportedly doing very well at
the Gemini, Chief, May Day, Eureka HIll, Bullion Beck, Yankee,
Beck Tunnel, and Colorado mines. The Chief's system of block
leasing became the first to give the miner a chance at really
sharing in the mine's profits.

Fitch served in the American Revolution (1775–83) and later surveyed land along the Ohio River. Settling in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in 1785, he became interested in building steamboats. He sought and failed to obtain subsidies from the Continental Congress, but he later succeeded in receiving exclusive rights from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware to build and operate steamboats on their waters. Backed by Philadelphia financiers, he built a 45-foot (14-metre) craft that had a successful trial on the Delaware River on August 22, 1787, before a group of delegates to the Constitutional Convention. He then built a larger steamboat to carry passengers and freight. Propelled by paddle wheels, it made well-advertised, regularly scheduled trips between Philadelphia and Burlington, New Jersey. After a battle with James Rumsey over claims to invention, Fitch was granted a U.S. patent for steamboats on August 26, 1791, and a French patent the same year. | ||||

by Charles M. Ward, Jr.
Daniel Fitch was born about the year 1685, the illegitimate son of Captain Daniel Fitch (1665-1711), of the North Parish of New London, Connecticut (now Montville, CT).The identity of his mother is unknown.He was a grandson of the Reverend James Fitch (1622-1702), a founder of Norwich, Connecticut, and his second wife, Priscilla (Mason) Fitch.
The circumstances surrounding the birth of Daniel Fitch (b.ca 1685) are referenced in the “Diary of Joshua Hempstead, of New London, Connecticut,” page 648.In a diary entry dated Friday, 9 May 1755, he wrote:
“…Mr Daniel Fitch aged near 70 & lives at new Brunswick came to See me.he hath been gone from thes parts 45 year, he is an Illegitimate Son of Capt Daniel Fitch late of the north Parish Decd…”
It’s possible the visit Daniel Fitch made to Connecticut was due to an illness of his much younger brother, Deacon Daniel Fitch (b.ca 1709).The Hempstead diary notes the death of Deacon Daniel Fitch (b.ca 1709) on Monday, 12 May 1755.Deacon Daniel Fitch was the legitimate son of Captain Daniel Fitch by his wife, Mary Sherwood.The brothers bore the same given name, a fact which has caused confusion on the part of some researchers.They should not be confused, especially as there was some twenty-four years separating their births.
The Hempstead diary entry indicates Daniel Fitch (b.ca 1685) left Connecticut for New Jersey around the year 1710.This is confirmed by New Jersey records.Daniel Fitch married Sarah Carle, 20 Jan 1712 in Piscataway, Middlesex Co., NJ.Sarah Carle was the widow of Benjamin Carle.She was born 27 Sep 1678, the daughter of Benjamin Hull and Rachel (York) Hull and granddaughter of the Reverend Joseph Hull.She had married Benjamin Carle, 4 Feb 1696/7.Benjamin Carle and Sarah (Hull) Carle had at least two children whose births are recorded in the Piscataway Register of Births:Rosanna Carle, born 13 Jul 1698; and John Carle, born 27 Dec 1700.There may have been others, including a possible son, Benjamin.
Administration on the estate of Benjamin Carle was granted to Daniel Fitch and his wife, Sarah, on 8 Sep 1713.
Daniel and Sarah (Hull) Fitch had four children and their births are recorded in the Piscataway Register of Births:
Daniel Fitch, born 7 Nov 1713
Joseph Fitch, born 6 Apr 1715
James Fitch, born 27 Mar 1717
Samuel Fitch, born 16 Jan 1719
Following the birth of the youngest child, Daniel Fitch settled in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., New Jersey a short distance from Piscataway, across the Raritan River.It is in New Brunswick, New Jersey that this Fitch family can be found in 1752 in the “List of the Freeholders of Middlesex County, N.J.” compiled by William Deare, Sheriff, on 14 Dec 1752.Daniel Fitch, Jun., James Fitch, and Samuel Fitch are listed (Joseph Fitch is not listed).Although the elder Daniel Fitch is not named, it’s very likely he was residing with one of his sons, especially since the younger Daniel Fitch is identified as “Daniel Fitch, Jun.”This designation would not have been necessary if there wasn’t another older Daniel Fitch residing in the area.We also know that Daniel Fitch was alive as late as 9 May 1755 based on the Hempstead diary entry of that date in which he is referred to as being a resident of New Brunswick.
Samuel Fitch, the youngest son of Daniel Fitch and Sarah (Hull) Fitch, was married to Jane Johnson, 19 Jan 1739 (license), both described as being of Middlesex Co., NJ.As previously mentioned, Samuel Fitch is found residing in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ on 14 Dec 1752 in the list of freeholders.He is listed not far from his father-in-law, William Johnson.Jane (Johnson) Fitch was the daughter of William Johnson and Jannetje (Wyckoff) Johnson (see my posting on her family:http://genforum.genealogy.com/johnson/messages/34877.html)http://genforum.genealogy.com/johnson/messages/34877.html).Samuel Fitch left New Jersey and settled in Berkeley Co., VA (now WV), dying 15 Dec 1800.He left numerous descendants.
An exact death date for Daniel Fitch (b.ca 1685) has not been ascertained and research is ongoing.

] | 2024-08-07T05:53:36+00:00 | In recent weeks, Dangote Industries Ltd has had its share of run-ins with the Nigerian government. | en | Peoples Gazette Nigeria | https://gazettengr.com/fitch-downgrades-dangotes-creditworthiness-as-tinubus-govt-nnpc-attack-nigerias-largest-conglomerate/ | Fitch Ratings, a reputable international capital company, has reduced the rank of Dangote Industries Limited(DIL) from AA(nga) to B+(nga), citing concerns over the conglomerate’s creditworthiness compounded by Nigeria’s “corporate governance.”
“The downgrade reflects significant deterioration in the group’s liquidity position following lower-than-expected disposal proceeds,” Fitch said in the report released on Monday, adding that Dangote Industries has been placed on Rating Watch Negative (RWN).
“The group has senior secured debt raised at subsidiary levels amounting to USD2.7 billion at end-2023 representing 49% of total group debt,” Fitch said in the report, which also highlighted the blow that naira devaluation dealt Dangote’s enormous dollar-denominated debt. “We do not expect a positive rating action until the company’s liquidity position improves substantially.”
The international rating agency said that Dangote Industries had “immediate debt servicing requirements related to the syndicated loan raised to finance the construction of Dangote Oil Refining Company (DORC)” in Lagos.
Fitch said any further delay in meeting funding requirements would increase Dangote’s chances of defaulting “and lead to further rating downgrade.”
The Fitch report indicated that Dangote Industries recorded a significant loss in the trillions following Nigeria’s naira devaluation, which caused a “mismatch between USD-denominated debt and domestic revenues.”
Specifically, the Nigerian conglomerate suffered a N2.7 trillion in 2023.
Fitch Ratings projected the naira devaluation to continue at a higher rate, which could further push Dangote Industries Ltd down the ranks.
The report said the Dangote refinery underperformed at 50 per cent capacity in the first half of 2024, churning out 325,000 bpd to 375,000 bpd instead of its 650,000 bpd target of refined crude products.
In recent weeks, Dangote Industries Ltd had had its share of run-ins with the Nigerian government over allegations of the attempted monopoly of the oil and gas sector made by oil regulator chief Farouk Ahmed of NMDPRA. | |||||

Biography
Samuell Fitch was born in early Mar 1655 in Saybrook (now Old Saybrook), New London Co., CT.[1][2] He was married to Mary Anne Brewster on 28 Nov 1678 in New London, New London Co., CT.[3] They were prolific parents. Mayflower Births and Deaths credits Samuell and Mary Anne with the following:[4]
Mary Fitch
Samuel Fitch
Hezekiah Fitch
Elizabeth Fitch
Abigail Fitch
Samuel Fitch
Benjamin Fitch
John Fitch
Jabez Fitch
Peltiel Fitch
Samuel, Mary, and their children resided in Norwich and in Long Society (now Preston), New London Co., CT. Samuel was one of the first proprietors of Lebanon, New London Co., CT but he and Mary lived on the east side of the Shetucket River in what was designated, for ecclesiastical purposes, as the Fifth Society of Norwich. It was also known as East Norwich, Long Society, and then later, Preston. This is corroborated in part by The History of Norwich, Connecticut: from Its Possession by the Indians to the year 1866:
"The district on the east side of the river comprised Long Society, or East Norwich ; but the grants made by the town were not wholly limited to this society. A considerable portion of Preston was held originally by the same tenure. Its earliest land-owners and inhabitants settled under the authority of Norwich and were admitted to the privileges of the town, included also in the same church bounds, as parishioners of Mr. [Rev. James] Fitch. [Samuel's father.] In all probability Greenfield Larrabee was the first settler in this region, — the first actual inhabitant of the town of Preston. Next to him we may reckon the sons of Norwich proprietors, — Thomas Tracy, Jun., Jonathan Tracy, Samuel Fitch, and Nathaniel Letfingwell, who were cultivating farms on that side of Shetucket river in 1680, or soon afterward" (242).[5]
He died on 18 Feb 1725 in Preston, New London Co., CT. and is buried in Brewster's Neck Cemetery, Preston, Connecticut.[6]
Note
A previous PM left this a reference number for Samuel: JTF6. Anyone know to what it pertains? Mayflower Society? DAR??

What a pretty sampler Elizabeth stitched when she was just ten years old. The young child finished her sampler on Wednesday, October 4, 1797 – some 226 years ago. It was such a long time ago.
At first glance, one might think that Elizabeth’s sampler was stitched in Norfolk due to the beautiful floral outer border and the lozenge-shaped inner border. Even the chosen verse was very popular on Norfolk samplers. Elizabeth’s sampler was actually stitched in the county of Essex, which is separated from Norfolk by the county of Suffolk. Elizabeth Fitch was born in 1787 at Helions Bumpstead in Essex. This small village is located near Haverhill, and it is where the Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire borders meet. What we are seeing in her sampler are whispers of Norfolk and Suffolk samplers.
Elizabeth was one of thirteen children born to Adam Fitch and his wife Mary, née Haiden, in 1787. The same year that Captain William Bligh set sail from Spithead, Hampshire for Tahiti on HMS Bounty and Captain Arthur Phillip left Portsmouth with the eleven ships of the First Fleet carrying around 700 convicts and at least 300 crew and guards to establish a penal colony in Australia. In 1787 Thomas Clarkson and Granville Sharp founded the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade with support from John Wesley, Josiah Wedgwood, and others.
Family history records reveal much about Elizabeth’s life. Her paternal grandfather, father, and oldest brother were butchers. Her grandfather’s will, written in the year she was born when he was “sick and weak in body but sound of memory”, reveals that he could not write as he signed his name with a cross and that he left a sizeable estate divided between his numerous children.
The 1841 census return records Elizabeth living with her oldest brother Samuel Fitch in Church Lane, Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire. The 1851 census return records more information. Samuel is now a retired butcher but Elizabeth at 64 years of age is working as a schoolmistress. Both are noted as unmarried. It appears that brother and sister were respected members of the community. However, not all was as it seems.
On September 8, 1816 Samuel Haiden Fitch the “base born son of Elizabeth Fitch, butcher’s daughter” was baptised at St Andrew’s Church in Helions Bumpstead. No father’s name was given. We were pleased to find that Samuel prospered and can be found in the 1851 census living with his wife, daughter, and two servants at 15 Middleton Road in Hackney, London. There are no other children that we can find being born to Elizabeth.
In the 1861 census we can find Elizabeth living at 2 Conquest Yard in Bishop’s Stortford. At 74 years of age, she was working as a governess. A younger sister, Phebe, was living with her and Samuel Haiden Fitch, her son. This is the only census where we can find Samuel living apart from his wife and children. In this census Elizabeth was claiming to be a widow!
Elizabeth Fitch died on March 1, 1867 at the grand age of 80 years. Probate records reveal that she was a spinster, her son Samuel Haiden Fitch was her sole executor, and that her estate was under £100.
Elizabeth has our respect. There were very few avenues open to unmarried mothers; they endured social handicaps and considerable economic hardships when they were unable to find work as a result of the double burden of shame and a dependent baby. The damage caused to their reputation often cut them adrift from the security of family and community. Elizabeth with the support of her family made a life for herself and her son, she did not live a life of victimhood.
Today, we remember her for her beautiful needlework.
Elizabeth’s sampler has been reproduced using a palette of 8 colours. The model was stitched using Soie 100.3 from Au Ver à Soie, and we have included conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC.
Elizabeth executed her sampler predominantly with cross stitches laid over two threads of linen; only the verse has been worked in cross stitch over one thread of linen. However, within this booklet, we have included an additional graph where the verse has been charted in cross stitch over two threads.
The sampler is suitable for needleworkers of all levels of ability.
The reproduction of Elizabeth’s sampler has been a team effort. Her sampler has been painstakingly charted by Sandra Moffitt, her booklet produced by Nicola Parkman and Lisa Brown, and Suzanne Sirotti lovingly stitched the model. At the very core of Hands Across the Sea Samplers there is a team of needleworkers who are passionate about antique samplers and being able to share those samplers with you. | |||||||

Mason Fitch Cogswell, an American physician and surgeon, was born on September 28, 1761, in Canterbury, Connecticut, the third son of the Reverend James and Alice Fitch Cogswell. An 1780 graduate of Yale College, he studied medicine with his brother James Cogswell, first in Stamford, Connecticut, and later in New York City. In 1789, Cogswell established a medical office in Hartford, where he practiced until his death in 1830.
Cogswell and his wife Mary Austin Ledyard Cogswell had five children including their daughter Alice, who became deaf as a child. In an effort to educate her and other deaf residents of the state, Cogswell enlisted the aid of Laurent Clerc and Thomas H. Gallaudet to establish in 1817 in Hartford the Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons, now the American School for the Deaf, the country's first permanent school for the deaf. | ||||||

History[]
The 2nd Regiment was formed in 1739 following a restructuring of Connecticut's militia. It represented a military district consisting of New Haven, Milford, Branford and Derby.[1] In March 1775, the General Assembly session looked into the state of the militia among other matters. Captain Abraham Blackslee was placed under investigation over allegations of being openly critical of the General Assembly and its conduct, an indicator of Loyalist beliefs. In a follow-up meeting in May, he was stripped of his rank and dismissed from the militia.[2] It was also declared that a second company of Governor's Guards be raised from the men of New Haven.[3] In May 1776 it was declared that the Troop of Horse of the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 23rd regiments be amalgamated into the new 1st Regiment of Light Horse.[4]
In October 1776, Colonel Fitch resigned, and was replaced by Colonel Joseph Thomson, with Lt. Col. Benjamin Fenn and Major Edward Russell as his second and third.[5]
In December 1776, the 2nd increased its garrison in New Haven; while the port town was regularly being used for prison exchanges, the Council of Safety was concerned the lack of cannon would leave open to attack. In February 1778, the Council of Safety ordered for additional protection for New Haven, with 24 men from several nearby militia companies forming a detachment to guard it, under a Lieutenant.[6]
In May 1782 it was ruled that the companies of Branford and Guilford, formerly of the 2nd and 7th regiments, be transferred to the 28th Regiment in order to balance out the sizes of each regiment.[7]

Fitch Ratings stated that it has placed Dangote Industries Limited on Rating Watch Negative due to the uncertainty related to the group’s ability to refinance maturing debt.
The ratings firm stated these in a report on August 5, 2024.
It stated that the downgrade was affected by local currency devaluation, adding that Dangote Industries Limited’s lack of contracted backup funding to repay its significant debt facilities maturing on 31 August 2024.
“Fitch Ratings has downgraded Dangote Industries Limited National Long-Term Rating to ‘B+(nga)’ from ‘AA(nga)’ and senior unsecured debt rating issued by Dangote Industries Funding Plc to ‘B+(nga)’ from ‘AA(nga)’. Fitch has simultaneously placed the ratings on Rating Watch Negative
“Lack of tangible steps to refinance or repay the maturing debt would lead to further downgrade while we do not expect a positive rating action until the company’s liquidity position improves substantially.
It said Dangote Industries Limited has immediate debt servicing requirements related to the syndicated loan raised to finance the construction of Dangote Oil Refining Company.
“Further delays in meeting the funding requirements would significantly increase the likelihood of financial restructuring or default and lead to further rating downgrade.
“During the first half of 2024 the refinery operated at around 50 percent capacity and produced between 325,000 bpd to 375,000 bpd, but the EBITDA contribution from Dangote Oil Refining Company has been far below our previous projection as the facility is ramping-up and optimizing production,” Fitch said.
Fitch Ratings expects gradual improvement in the EBITDA contribution from Dangote Oil Refining Company going forward following the initiation of gasoline production in Q3 this year.
It stated that major currency devaluation in 2023, caused the group to record a significant FX loss of N2.7tn in 2023 as the company faces a mismatch between USD-denominated debt and domestic revenues.
“We expect devaluation to continue at a higher pace in 2024,” Fitch Rating stated.
Fitch said the company has raised senior unsecured debt amounting to N350bn with long-dated maturities in 2029 and 2032 to finance capex requirements.
“We expect Dangote Industries Limited’s EBITDA margins in cement production to drop further in 2024 following softer retail demand for cement particularly in the Nigerian market and limited ability to pass on increased raw material cost to consumers,” it said.
Fitch Ratings stated that refinancing or repayment of the upcoming maturities and a significant improvement in the liquidity position can lead to positive rating for Dangote Industries Limited while lack of tangible steps to refinance upcoming maturities or steps towards default-like financial restructuring or payment default can lead to negative ratings action. | |||||

2. Biography
Fitch, Olive Aurelia
(17 January 1872 – 26 March 1877)
Since this child is buried next to 6 year old Samuel Fitch and his parents, John and Avaline Fitch, it seems reasonable to conclude that she too is a child of John Fitch and Avaline Byington. John Fitch of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania came to Texas in 1850 where he served as the first elected sheriff of Bee County. Later he moved to Nueces County where he worked for many years for Richard King and Mifflin Kenedy before serving during the Civil War as a captain under Col. John S. Ford and as a ranger under Capt. Bill Tobin. John Fitch married Avaline Byington of Banquete on January 1, 1868. His obit notes that nine children were born to this union, but only seven survived him. The two that predeceased John appear to be Samuel (who died on October 18, 1887 at 6 years old) and Olive Aurelia (who died March 26, 1877 at only 5 years old). In death these two little ones rest with their parents who are buried beside them. Only these four occupy the Fitch plot. The original gravestone of Olive says that she was born in Tennessee. Possibly her parents were there on business for the Kings or Kenedys or lived there briefly. Ultimately the family moved to a ranch near Boerne where Captain John Fitch died. Avaline died later in San Antonio, but both she and her husband were brought back to Corpus Christi to rest beside their two children who had died young.

But a prominent fisheries biologist fears the province’s lake sturgeon may finally share the fate of the dinosaurs because of growing pressure on water resources.
“The more you shrink the area in which a critter lives, the greater the chances are that critter could wink out,” said Lorne Fitch, a retired provincial biologist, university professor and author. “That’s certainly what could happen to lake sturgeon.”
Lake sturgeon are unlike any other freshwater fish.
They appeared about 200 million years ago, somehow surviving the massive extinction of the dinosaurs and the freezing cold of the ice ages. They’ve changed little since — and look their age.
“They’re monsters,” Fitch said.
Covered with sharp, bony plates and coarse skin instead of scales, they can grow up to two metres long. Long, sensitive “whiskers” called barbels grow from the sides of their mouths, allowing them to find crayfish, snails, clams and leeches in the muddy river bottoms they frequent.
They have no backbones, having originated before fish evolved spines. They live for decades and are hard to spot.
But when they do appear, they look really intimidating, said Fitch.
“It’s like dragging the distant past out of a pool. It made me wonder, ‘What sort of a world did these fish evolve into that they had to have these armour plates?'”
Once abundant, sturgeon numbers have shrunk as water quality in Alberta rivers has deteriorated and their once uninterrupted courses have been chopped up by dams. Fitch said there are no reliable population estimates, but western lake sturgeon are designated as endangered under the federal Species At Risk Act and as threatened under Alberta legislation.
“We don’t really know how many sturgeon there are,” Fitch said. “We don’t know what the impact of invasive species is. We don’t know what the impact of drought is.”
Both current and possible future policies present problems, he added.
Clearcut logging reduces the ability of watersheds to regulate stream flows. Irrigation demands continue to increase, while regulators contemplate thirsty new industries, such as coal mining.
Meanwhile, Alberta’s population is growing rapidly. That brings demands for more drinking water and better flood protection as climate change makes extreme weather events more common.
New dams, which would further isolate sturgeon populations, are back in the conversation. The province is considering projects on the Red Deer and Bow rivers, as well as a weir on the South Saskatchewan.
“We’re not done thinking about dams,” Fitch said. “If those dams are built, they would further truncate lake sturgeon populations into smaller and smaller units.”
A 2002 feasibility study for the Meridian Dam, a now-abandoned project once proposed for the west side of the Saskatchewan-Alberta boundary on the South Saskatchewan River, acknowledged that dams and reservoirs could affect sturgeon. The study found such structures could block fish movement, reduce available food and limit spawning sites.
“The consequences of blocking fish movements in this section of the South Saskatchewan River are significant, because species such as lake sturgeon, walleye and sauger may be isolated from one or more critical habitats,” it says.
Ryan Fournier of Alberta Environment and Protected Areas said the province is working to improve water storage and management, especially in southern Alberta.
In an email, he said about $10 million in feasibility studies are underway for the proposed Eyremore Dam on the lower Bow River near Bassano and the Ardley Dam east of Red Deer on the Red Deer River. Both dams are in sturgeon habitat.
“A provincewide review is also underway to determine other areas where new water storage projects would be most beneficial,” he said. “We are taking a whole-government approach to maintaining provincial water management infrastructure systems to make sure Albertans have a safe, reliable water supply.”
Agriculture and Irrigation Minister RJ Sigurdson has said environmental concerns would be addressed in the studies.
Alberta would do better to try and curtail water demand instead of counting on greater supply — especially as climate change threatens to make the Prairies drier and hotter, Fitch said.
“If we continue to exacerbate the demand side, we will continue to (try to) outrun climate change with reservoir construction. And we’re going to lose.”
Sturgeon, which have already survived so much, will carry on if given a chance, said Fitch.
“This is a critter that outstrips human history, that outstrips the history of a lot of living things. The fact we still have them swimming in our rivers is a testament to their ability to endure.”

These records have been contributed by Fairfield County, CT researcher Barbara Kaye. The data has been collected from several sources, including the Hale Cemetery Collection (see history, below).
We need you! If you live near a cemetery in Fairfield County, CT and wish to contribute data or add additional information to an existing cemetery collection, please email Barbara Kaye. She will see to it that your information is added. If you are interested in volunteering to transcribe other cemetery records, we'll help get you started!
The Charles R.Hale Collection of Headstone Inscriptions resides at the Connecticut State Library. Charles Hale was a member of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. In 1916, he became involved in locating and decorating the graves of Revolutionary and Civil War veterans in his home town of Rocky Hill. In order to make it easier to find these graves, he decided to record each veteran's name, date of death and military service. He was persuaded by State Librarian George S. Godard to search also for veterans of other wars.
In 1919, the General Assembly made an appropriation to carry on this work throughout the State. In 1933 and 1934, with grants from the F.E.R.A. and the W.P.A., Mr. Hale began copying and indexing the essential information from every headstone in the State. Two copies of these listings were deposited in the State Library. Records for individual towns were made available to libraries and historical societies throughout Connecticut.
Note: These records may contain errors in dates or names. Some errors were made either at the time of the survey of the cemeteries or during the transcription in 1935. One common error in reading old headstones is mistaking a four for a one.We have tried very hard to avoid creating new errors during the retyping of this data for the internet. In addition, we have attempted to correct some of the original errors, either by revisiting these cemeteries or by recalculating dates or ages based on known dates of birth for some of thesepeople. However, some of the stones that were legible in 1934 are either missing or no longer legible.
I have also attempted to identify these people, using census and other vital records. Anything added within brackets like these [ ] indicates a suggestion as to the identity of the person. If a wife's name does not include a separate surname, it is not known at this time. Many couples in early Darien were second or third cousins with the same surname. There are many surnames that have several alternate spellings. (See spellings for a list of common surnames and their alternate spellings.) Some people appear in more than one listing because some graves were moved to newer cemeteries, new stones were carved, and the old stones were left behind. Although much of the data on the various families in early Darien is accurate, there will always be errors, many of which are found in published genealogies. It is recommended that you write to the Town Clerk's office for death or birth certificates for your ancestors. If you have documentation that supplies any missing information or corrects an error, please email Barbara Kaye . Fitch Soldiers’ Home Cemetery – 405-2

What a pretty sampler Elizabeth stitched when she was just ten years old. The young child finished her sampler on Wednesday, October 4, 1797 – some 226 years ago. It was such a long time ago.
At first glance, one might think that Elizabeth’s sampler was stitched in Norfolk due to the beautiful floral outer border and the lozenge-shaped inner border. Even the chosen verse was very popular on Norfolk samplers. Elizabeth’s sampler was actually stitched in the county of Essex, which is separated from Norfolk by the county of Suffolk. Elizabeth Fitch was born in 1787 at Helions Bumpstead in Essex. This small village is located near Haverhill, and it is where the Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire borders meet. What we are seeing in her sampler are whispers of Norfolk and Suffolk samplers.
Elizabeth was one of thirteen children born to Adam Fitch and his wife Mary, née Haiden, in 1787. The same year that Captain William Bligh set sail from Spithead, Hampshire for Tahiti on HMS Bounty and Captain Arthur Phillip left Portsmouth with the eleven ships of the First Fleet carrying around 700 convicts and at least 300 crew and guards to establish a penal colony in Australia. In 1787 Thomas Clarkson and Granville Sharp founded the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade with support from John Wesley, Josiah Wedgwood, and others.
Family history records reveal much about Elizabeth’s life. Her paternal grandfather, father, and oldest brother were butchers. Her grandfather’s will, written in the year she was born when he was “sick and weak in body but sound of memory”, reveals that he could not write as he signed his name with a cross and that he left a sizeable estate divided between his numerous children.
The 1841 census return records Elizabeth living with her oldest brother Samuel Fitch in Church Lane, Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire. The 1851 census return records more information. Samuel is now a retired butcher but Elizabeth at 64 years of age is working as a schoolmistress. Both are noted as unmarried. It appears that brother and sister were respected members of the community. However, not all was as it seems.
On September 8, 1816 Samuel Haiden Fitch the “base born son of Elizabeth Fitch, butcher’s daughter” was baptised at St Andrew’s Church in Helions Bumpstead. No father’s name was given. We were pleased to find that Samuel prospered and can be found in the 1851 census living with his wife, daughter, and two servants at 15 Middleton Road in Hackney, London. There are no other children that we can find being born to Elizabeth.
In the 1861 census we can find Elizabeth living at 2 Conquest Yard in Bishop’s Stortford. At 74 years of age, she was working as a governess. A younger sister, Phebe, was living with her and Samuel Haiden Fitch, her son. This is the only census where we can find Samuel living apart from his wife and children. In this census Elizabeth was claiming to be a widow!
Elizabeth Fitch died on March 1, 1867 at the grand age of 80 years. Probate records reveal that she was a spinster, her son Samuel Haiden Fitch was her sole executor, and that her estate was under £100.
Elizabeth has our respect. There were very few avenues open to unmarried mothers; they endured social handicaps and considerable economic hardships when they were unable to find work as a result of the double burden of shame and a dependent baby. The damage caused to their reputation often cut them adrift from the security of family and community. Elizabeth with the support of her family made a life for herself and her son, she did not live a life of victimhood.
Today, we remember her for her beautiful needlework.
Elizabeth’s sampler has been reproduced using a palette of 8 colours. The model was stitched using Soie 100.3 from Au Ver à Soie, and we have included conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC.
Elizabeth executed her sampler predominantly with cross stitches laid over two threads of linen; only the verse has been worked in cross stitch over one thread of linen. However, within this booklet, we have included an additional graph where the verse has been charted in cross stitch over two threads.
The sampler is suitable for needleworkers of all levels of ability.
The reproduction of Elizabeth’s sampler has been a team effort. Her sampler has been painstakingly charted by Sandra Moffitt, her booklet produced by Nicola Parkman and Lisa Brown, and Suzanne Sirotti lovingly stitched the model. At the very core of Hands Across the Sea Samplers there is a team of needleworkers who are passionate about antique samplers and being able to share those samplers with you. | |||||||

NOTE: Samuel was the son of Thomas Fitch and Anne Reeve born 9 Nov 1626 at Bocking, Essex County, England. He married Susannah Whiting, widow of William Whiting of Hartford CT. Samuel died in 1659 probably in Milford, CT.
Biographical sketch: Samuel was an emigrant ancester of Hartford, CT. born at Bocking, County Essex, England. He probably came to America in the company of his two brothers, Thomas I of Norwalk, CT. and Joseph of Windsor, CT. and their widowed mother, Anne (Reeve) Fitch. They were preceded by their brother Rev. James Fitch of Norwich, CT., who came to New England in 1638.
Savage, the historian, says that there is a possibility that Samuel Fitch I settled at Milford, CT., as early as 1644. This is unlikely, however, as he is named in the will of his brother Nathaniel in 1648 as then living in England.
The earliest positive record we have of him is in 1650 at Hartford, CT. He was spoken of in the records of his time as "Mr.", which proves he ranked as a gentleman. He was engaged in 1650 to keep the school at Hartford for three years, beginning 1 Jan 1649/50; and was a freeman, 1651. He was later of Milford, CT.
Like his three brothers he was a man of prominence in local affairs. He was a representative to the General Court, 1654-55. He married Mrs. Susannah Whiting, widow of "Worshipful Mr. William Whiting" of Hartford, CT. Samuel Fitch and his wife had two sons; Samuel II and Thomas I. After his death in 1659 his widow married (3) Alexander Bryan of Milford, CT.
Samuel came to America with two of his brothers and his mother, after the death of his father . He taught school in Hartford, CT, and later at Milford. He was a Representative to the Gene ral Court 1654-1655.Samuel became a Free man in 1651, and became prominent in local affairs . In the local records, he was given the distinguishing title "Mr." (Source: Connecticut Ance stry, Vol. 26, #4, page 191).

Without question, the increasing hardship over the years makes a strong case for citizens’ revolt.
Whether it is the horrendous exploitation of our collective patrimony through wanton acts of corruption, embezzlement, and nepotism by greedy politicians who have somehow found their way to power over time or the failure of successive administrations to ensure the security and welfare of citizens, there is enough provocation for citizens to be enraged.
In fact, why the protest is happening now and not during the reigns of former President Muhammadu Buhari and ex-governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna state or how the two administrations at federal and state levels were able to survive eight years in power amidst worsening insecurity that has now turned every highway into kidnappers’ den, thousands of communities into rivers of blood, and Nigeria the poverty capital of the world, without an uprising remains a mystery.
As a Nigerian and politician from the opposition stock, I reckon that the current hardship experienced by most Nigerians is becoming unbearable and there’s the urgent need to address issues bordering on food prices, electricity tariff, public transportation, agriculture, unemployment, general inflation, security, fuel prices, among others, necessary for the improved welfare of the people. However, I differ completely from those who call for or indulge in acts capable of destabilising the nation, undermining the government, or pushing for regime change under the guise of national protests, and at the expense of our democracy.
As obviously challenging as the times are, there’s the need to pause and reflect on our past and decide whether we want to end the Nigerian experiment or give the government a chance to improve governance and make life better for everyone as it has started to do. Government’s responses and efforts to de-escalate tensions before and after the commencement of the protests on August 1, 2024, clearly show that governance will no longer be business as usual. The granting of local government autonomy, review of the national minimum wage, establishment of a national youth secretariat, concession to sell crude in naira to Dangote refinery, the launch of the N110 billion Nigerian Youth Investment Fund which will provide thousands of young people with business grants/loans, as well as the president’s promise to look into the high costs of living, among other innovations and measures to end the sufferings of Nigerians, will require a little time to reasonably impact the lives of the people. It is imperative, therefore, to give these reforms a chance or set the stage for a revolution through the ballot, should our sufferings persist beyond that reasonable time. The ballot, NOT violent protests, remains the best and most reliable option to express our anger against bad governance, and 2027 is sure not too long to wait.
As we wait, however, we must also acknowledge the recent gains recorded in the security sector. The appointments of General Christopher Gwabin Musa, from Kaduna state, as Chief of Defense Staff and his counterparts in the army, air force, navy, and the police as Nigeria’s service chiefs and IG of police, respectively, and the reappointment of Samuel Aruwan to oversee the ministry of internal security and home affairs in Kaduna state, have combined to open a new page of hope in the war against insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, and other forms of criminality in Nigeria and Kaduna state in particular – even an armchair critic cannot help but admit that our highways are now relatively safer, our communities more peaceful and our displaced persons gradually resettling.
For the first time in a long while, we are witnessing a complete departure from the reactionary approach of the past administrations to precautionary measures that now engage citizens, gather credible intelligence, and ensure timely interventions which often take the war to the terrorists’ and bandits’ hideouts so we do not have to contend them in our communities or roads.
In just a little over one year, over 10 bandit and terrorist commanders have been killed, and many more are being targeted for decimation. There’s no doubt that the president’s unwavering support to the security forces and General Christopher Musa’s outstanding leadership of the nation’s military are the secrets behind these success stories, and this should give every citizen hope that better days lie ahead. But getting Nigeria out of the woods and setting it on the wheel of progress would require more than what the president would do or is doing. The 36 state governors and 774 LG chairmen (whose financial autonomy has been secured by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu) will need to complement the efforts of the FG as some have done to foil or manage the protests in their states.
In Kaduna state, for example, Governor Uba Sani’s approach in managing the protest has been topnotch. His ability to ensure that the people of the state didn’t troop to the streets (until the 5th day of the protest) or allow the enemies of the state to set the state on fire is quite commendable; and in spite of the isolated incident of a clash on the first day of the protest between the police and a few bad eggs around the government house culminating in the needless loss of a few lives, including one policeman, it is nonetheless impossible to dispute the governor’s proactiveness in averting a crisis given Kaduna state’s volatile nature and history of politically-motivated ethno-religious crisis, as well as the plans to create a crisis out of the supposed nationwide protests.
Indeed, there were plans to reduce the state to rubles using hungry youths-cum-hoodlums in flashpoint areas of the municipality to attack commuters and or people of opposite faith so as to spark reprisals and throw the state into anarchy. But the governor, through his commissioner for internal security and home affairs, swiftly mobilised the heads of security agencies in the state to tackle the threats head-on. Various youths and community leaders from Bakin Ruwa, Rigachikun, Maraban Rido, Tudun Wada, Gonin-gora, Mando, etc., were invited to the government house, and the governor, together with the heads of security agencies, pleaded with and extracted commitment from those leaders to ensure no protests were held or roads blocked in or around their domains.
This was followed by an extensive and expanded stakeholders’ meeting involving all traditional rulers, religious leaders, organised labour, civil society organisations, and representatives of youths and women groups across the state with the governor at the forefront. The government appealed to their conscience and mandated all to shun violent protests. The result was overwhelmingly positive as much as it was cheering.
Even when a few miscreants, mostly teenagers and minors, were lured into various attempts to vandalise assets or block major roads on the first day of the protests, government resisted calls for the imposition of a curfew at first until Monday that a curfew was imposed to forestall a possible breakdown of law and order following some looting in and around Kaduna and Zaria metropolis by some hoodlums. Instead, he directed law enforcement agents to bring the situation under control with the state commissioner for internal security moving with troops on surveillance and remove roadblocks and restore order across a few locations where such was recorded.
Senator Uba Sani’s complete departure, too, from the high handed, divisive, and provocative approach of his predecessor to a system that engages and accommodates all, typical of the PDP years in power, has enhanced collaboration and rebuilt trust between the government and the governed. His engagement with stakeholders and citizens alike, across levels, therefore, especially in the wake of the nationwide protests, and not daring them as his predecessor would have done in similar situations in the past, is a testament to this fact. It is, therefore, no surprise that the protest in Kaduna state has been leaderless and rudderless.
While one may commend Uba Sani for the patriotic and concerted approach in dealing with the issue of nationwide protest in Kaduna state which has saved the state from being ruined, the road to El Dorado as far as the living condition of the people is concerned, is still a long and tortuous one. The governor has a duty to get the concerns of the people of his state across to the president’s desk and collaborate with him to ensure they are addressed. The citizens listened to his plea against violent protests, he needs to return the favour by addressing their legitimate concerns.
He has a duty, together with Mr. President, to ensure that the gains in the security sector that have seen farmers like me return to large-scale production is not only sustained but also consolidated by subsidies in fertilisers and other farming inputs. Our moribund storage facilities should be revitalised and additional ones provided to encourage savings for the rainy days as well as reduce avoidable wastages/losses, while tractors and other mechanised inputs should be made available at subsidised rates. Doing so will boost food production, reduce food prices, and consequently enhance food security in the state and beyond. It will also open up job opportunities for our youths and retirees because of agriculture’s potential as the largest employer of labour and wealth creator, and ultimately address some of the serious concerns of the people.
The federal government must revamp the power sector and reduce electricity tariffs, while governments at state and local levels should make massive investments in rural infrastructure. There should be grants and low interest loans to existing MSMEs that are showing stability and growth, and our refineries should get working again.
Similarly, the government should grant licenses for the operation of modular refineries across the length and breadth of the nation, while the NNPCL should be mandated to supply them with crude. This will boost local production of petroleum products, reduce importation of the same, create jobs for our teeming youths, reduce fuel prices, reduce inflation, and ultimately set the nation on the path of economic recovery and growth. Playing politics with this sector will not help us in any way.
In the final analysis, the silence of the opposition parties and politicians in the face of the greatest threat ever to our democracy and continuous existence as nation is no longer golden. There’s need for leaders across board to rise up and call everyone to order. Seeking political capital from the protests or the possible breakdown of law and order will not do anyone any good. I, therefore, wish both President Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani well in their continuous effort to end the national protests through addressing the legitimate concerns raised by protesters, secure our nation, and rid our communities of terrorists, bandits, and other criminal elements. We have to have a country and a peaceful one at that to be members of APC, PDP, LP, or some other political parties, or to take over power from the APC. We must, therefore, jettison partisan interest and come together at this critical juncture of our national life.
Otherwise, we may never fail to suffer the consequences of a failed state. God forbid.
May God bless, preserve, and cause our dear nation and state to rise above their present challenges. May President Tinubu and his lieutenants find the right answers to the concerns of the people and birth us a new nation where unity, peace, prosperity, and justice shall reign. I also plead with the government to find ways to provide succour to law-abiding citizens whose property were vandalised by protesters to give them a lifeline. This is what every responsible government should do. And may the souls of all those who lost their lives in the protests rest in perfect peace. | |||||

] | null | [] | null | null | 13. Walter FITCH was born on 20 Jan 1854 in Islington, London, Middlesex, ENG. He Citizenshp on 23 May 1894 in Circuit Court of Marquette County, Marquette, MI. He had petitiioned to become a citizen 30 Sept 1876. He was elected as in 1896 in Beacon, Marquette, MI. Board of Control of the Michigan College of Mines- President of
the Board of Control. Term expires June 9, 1905 He was elected as in 1899 in Michigan College of Mines, Houghton, Marquette, MI. According to the records from the Michigan Technological
University (which is what the Michigan College of Mines is now
called) Walter Fitch was on the Board of Control of the
Michigan College of mines from 1899 to 1904 and then again in
1907 to 1908. He Newspaper about 1900 in Beacon, Marcotte, MI. The Champion Iron Company, of which Mr. Fitch is agent and
superintendent, is the owner of extensive mines at Beacon,
Michigan. The company was organized in 1868 to operate at this
point, and the mine was then opened and actively operated until
July, 1893, when it was closed down and remained in a state of
inactivity until January 1, 1895, when operations were resumed
in two shafts. The company owns 15,000 acres of land in
Marquette county. The mine has nine shafts, six of which are
capable of production and the maximum depth in 1,200 feet.
They mine crystalline iron ores of magnetic and specular
varieties and the total product of the mine up to the present
time is 3,000,000 tons, the ores beings shipped to Cleveland,
Ohio, and other Lake Erie ports. The present officers of the
Champion Iron Company are: Joseph S. Fay, Jr. of Boston,
Massachusetts, president; W.E. Stone, also of Boston,
vice-president; W.B. Bosson, of Boston, secretary; and W.
Fitch, of Beacon, Michigan, agent and superintendent. Grant S.
Barber, mining engineer and chemist, who was a student in the
State University ;of Ann Arbor, has been connected with the
company for four years.
The former agent, Alfred Kidder, of Marquette, held the
position form 1874 until 1893, when he retired. It was under
his management that the mine reached its career of prosperity.
Before he assumed control the career of the mine had been a
checkered one, and at the time he took charge an indebtedness
of half a million dollars hung over the company, owing largely
to inefficient management in previous years; but rapidly
mastering the situation he placed the business on a paying
basis, wiped out the debt and the company was started on a
career of almost phenomenal prosperity.
The successor of Mr. Kidder,-the present manager, -Walter
Fitch, is a native of London, England, born in 1854, and
acquired his education in the public schools of that city. The
first twenty years of his life were passed there, when he
resolved to make a home beyond the Atlantic. He sailed for
America in 1874, and made his way to Michigan. In 1881, he
became agent for the Pascoe& Dalliba mines at Champion, now
closed, and in 1884, he formed a connection with the Champion
Iron Company in the capacity of superintendent. Since 1893, he
has served both as superintendent and agent, and though his
duties are onerous and his responsibilities great, he is equal
to the work, and by his able discharge of the tasks which fall
to him he has won the confidence and respect of the officers of
the company and of all with whom he has been brought in
contact. All the newer improvements of the mines have been
added during his term as superintendent. When in full working
force between five and six hundred men are employed and it will
thus be seen that the superintendent is no sinecure.
In the community where he resides Mr. Fitch is regarded as a
leading and representative citizen. In his political
affiliations he is a stalwart Republican and has served as
Township Supervisor of Champion township, while at this writing
he is president of the Board of Education of that township. He appeared on the census on 30 Jul 1900 in Champion Township, Marquette, MI. Fitch, Walter; Head

of friends and Upper Peninsula mining men. Mr. Fitch for many
years was agent for the Champion Iron Co., operating the
champion mine and was one of the best known of Lake Superior

Former Manager of the Champion Iron Mine Named for Newly
Created Position With Calumet Company
The appointment of Walter Fitch of Salt Lake City to the
position of superintendent of the Calumet & Hecla mining
company was announced at the office of the company at Calumet
yesterday. He will take up his new duties at Calumet on April
1.
Walter Fitch is one of the best known mining men in the country
today. He is particularly well known throughout upper
peninsula mining circles. Mr Fitch was, for a long term,
manager of the Champion mine in the iron country and in that
position he made a most enviable record for efficient results.
About three years ago Mr Fitch left the iron country and went
to Utah where he has made his home since. He was in charge of
the Utah Consolidated property as managing director but
resigned tha position some months ago.
The Calumet & hecla company is most fortunate in being able to
add to the staff of General Manager MacNaughton such a
thoroughly practical mining man as Mr Fitch. The appointment
will be generally pleasing to copper people, among whom Mr
Fitch has a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.
Mr Fitch while a resident of Michigan, was a member of the
board of control of the Michigan College of Mines, retiring in
1905, after serving as president of the board. He was always
greatly interested in the institution and gave it much of his
personal attention and effort. He died on 23 Apr 1937 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, UT. His death certificate states: He was living at 715 East South
Temple in SLC, UT for 2 months where he died. His normal

Walter Fitch Victim of Heart Malady
Walter Fitch, 83, who rose from mine worker to a prominent
figure in the mining industry of America died Friday at 4:05 am
at the home of his daughter Mrs J Fred Johnson, 713 East South
Temple Street, of a heart disease. At the time of his death he
was president of the Chief Consolidated mining company at
Eureka, Utah.
At the bedside when death came were his widow, Mrs Exilda
Marcott Fitch; Mrs Johnson and three sons Howard, Cecil, and
Walter Fitch, Jr.
Born in London, England, January 20, 1854, he was a son of
Alfred and Rebecca Fitch and had the usual education of English
private schools. First finding employment in a lawyer's
office, he later worked in the stationary and printing
business.
Began Mining Work
His mining career began when he was 20 years old. At that time
he became dissatisfied with his position in England and came to
America, where he found employment at the mines in Michigan.
Later he was shipping clerk for a lake boat company at
Marquette, Mich. He was made mining manager of the Daliber
and Pasco Mining company and later manager of the Champion
Mining company at Beacon, Mich., spending 30 years in the
mining industry there.
He came to Salt Lake City in 1903 as manager of the United
States Smelting , Refining and Mining company, later returning
to Michigan (this is where the page ends. I don't have the rest
of the paper and the story) He was buried on 26 Apr 1937 in Fitch Cemetery, Eureka, Juab, UT. He Newspaper on 25 Oct 1963 in Eureka, Juab, UT. FITCH FAMILY PROMINENT IN DEVELOPMENT OF EUREKA
Walter Fitch, Sr., and experienced mine operator from Michigan,
came to Eureka in 1906 and secured control of the Little Chief
mine. Mr. Fitch and some of his associates from Michigan
reorganized the mine under its present name, The Chief
Consolidated Mining Company, and through the years have
expanded its holdings from 20 acres to more than 16 square
miles.
The mine was the mainstay of Eureka for a number of years. At
one time more than 600 men were employed at the mine. It was a
blow to the town when the mine closed in June of 1957. The
mine had produced 50,000,000 dollars of strategic metals during
two World wars and the Korean conflict. The reason given by
one of the company officials at the time of the shut-down was
the high cost of underground pumping, the low prices of metals
and the high cost of labor.
Mr. Fitch's leasing system was one of the first to give the
employee a chance to share in the profits in the mine and many
of the successful leasers shared in the profits in a big way.
Mr. Fitch will long be remembered for his generosity to anyone
in need, and for his backing worthwhile civic projects. He
preferred to keep in the background and did not seek publicity
of any kind for his many charitable acts, which were known only
to those in need of assistance. After his death, his sons,
Cecil Fitch, Sr. was elected President and General Manager of
the mine, and carried on his father's policies in mining and
his interest in the town and its people. He and his father
will always be remembered as kingly, courteous gentlemen, and
for keeping Eureka from becoming a ghost town.
Cecil Fitch, Sr., retired in the spring of 1956, at which time
his son, Cecil Fitch, Jr., was elected President and General
Manager of the Fitch holdings. For more than 50 years, the
Fitch family furnished employment to hundreds of men and paid
thousands of dollars in taxes to Juab Co.
Mr. Fitch's son, Cecil Jr., and two of his daughters and their
families, Mrs. Harold (Adelaide) Spencer, and Mrs (Ann)
Quigley, still reside in Eureka. Mrs. Maude Hilsdale, a
daughter of Walter Fitch, Sr., lives here during the summer
months and spends the winter months in California.
The Chief Consolidated mine is engaged in new ventures in the
East Tintic area. Some of the better values encountered in the
East Tintic area is on ground controlled by Chief Consolidated
Mining Company. He has reference number 4 Fit 1. Walter Fitch, Sr. of Eureka, Utah and his two brothers, Ernest
Fitch of Detroit and Aubrey Fitch of San Diego, Calif.,
descendants of Richard Fitch of Steeple Bumpstead, Essex,
testator of 1494; came to the United States from England in
1874.
Ernest Fitch settled first at St. Ignace, Mich., about 1880 and
married Emily Louisa Wray of Canada, whose father was a
minister of the English church, holding pulpits in many
Canadian towns. Four children were born of this union, all in
St. Ignace, Mich., as follows: Commander Aubrey Wray Fitch,
USN, born 1883, now stationed at San Diego, Calif., with the US
Navy Pacific fleet; Basil Francis Fitch, born 1884, in 1929 an
officer of the Paramount Aircraft Corporation of Saginaw,
Mich.; Nora K., born 1886; d. 1910; Lola Vera, b. 1888, married
Robert K. Slaymaker of 1419 Kensington Road, Grosse Pointe
Park, Detroit. Ernest Fitch moved to Detroit in 1905 and in
1929 resides there at 331 Manistique Ave.
Aubrey Fitch, brother of Walter and Ernest, is unmarried and
resides (1929) at Tintic, Utah and San Diego, Calif. All three
brothers engaged in the mining business.
Walter, Ernest and Aubrey Fitch are direct descendants of
Richard Fitch of Steeple Bumpstead, County Essex, England,
whose will was proved in 1494. Richard Fitch of Steeple
Bumpstead is acknowledged to have been a descendant of the
ancient Fitches of Widdingotn and Lindsell, Essex.
Richard Fitch of Steeple Bumpstead was the ancestor of Sir
Thomas Fitch of Eltham, Kent, who was knighted by Charles II,
1679, served the office of High Sheriff in Kent, and was
created baronet Sept 7, 1688. Sir Comport Fitch, Bart. of
Eltham, Kent, son of Sir Thomas Fitch, took up the Fitch crest
by permission of the Fitch family of Lindsell, Essex.
Burke's Extinct Baronetcies" says:
Sir Thomas Fitch, Baronet, of Eltham and Mount Mascal in Kent,
who descended from the ancient family of Fitch in Essex, having
been knighted by King Charles II, was created a baronet in
1688. He married Anne, only daughter and heir of Richard
Comport, Esq. of Eltham, and died Sept 16, 1688 and was
succeeded by his son:
Sir Comport Fitch, Baronet, who married Anne, daughter of
Sir Lumley Robinson, Baronet, of Kentwell Hall, Suffolk. He
died 1720 was succeeded by his son:
Sir William Fitch, Baronet, who died a monor unmarried, June
13, 1736, when the baronetcy became extinct.
Sir William's sister, Alice, married Sir John Barker,
Baronet, and had John Fytche Barker; Born July 1741.
Ernest Fitch sent the writer a letter he had received from his
sister, Mrs. Charlotte (Fitch) Ahmad of "The Cottage", Langton
Road, Worthing, Sussex, England. Mrs Ahmad states that her
uncle, Frederick Fitch, Esq., of Hadleigh House, Highbury, New
Park, Middlesex, submitted the following pedigree to the
Heralds' College, London, and permission was granted to use the
Fitch coat-of-arms, with one change, that the sword in the
leopard's mouth be broken in the middle to indicate a missing
link between the very old Fitch family of County Essex and the
later branch.
Mr. Ernest Fitch has a photograph of the Pedigree chart of his
ancestors prepared by the Heralds' College for his uncle on
payment of the customary fee for research.
The pedigree follows:
1. Richard Fytch, of Steeple Bumpstead, Essex. Will proved
1494.
2. John Fytch, of Bumpstead. Will dated 1537.
3. Thomas Fytch, of Bumpstead. Will dated 1564.

Eureka is located approximately seventy miles southwest of Salt
Lake City in Juab County. Incorporated as a city in 1892,
Eureka became the financial center for the Tintic Mining
District, a wealthy gold and silver mining area in Utah and
Juab counties. The district was organized in 1869 and by 1899
became one of the top mineral producing areas in Utah. Eureka
housed the "Big Four" mines -- Bullion Beck and Champion,
Centennial Eureka, Eureka Hill, and Gemini-and later the Chief
Consolidated Mining Company. The Chief was developed by the
Walter Fitch family, who not only had their own mine in Eureka,
but also the company headquarters, family residences, and
family cemetery -- a most unique feature in any western mining
town.
As with other mining towns, Eureka developed from a camp to a
settlement then town. It benefited from competing
transportation services of the Union Pacific (1889) and the
Denver and Rio Grande Western (1891) railroads. Census
statistics indicate the following population figures through
1930, when the impact of the Depression changed its fortunes:
1880 - 122; 1890 - 1,733; 1900 - 3,325; 1910 - 3,829; 1920 -
3,908; 1930 - 3,216. That Eureka's population exhibited ebbs
and flows between census years was attributed to the transitory
character of a mining town. By the 1980s the population fell
below 700.
Eureka's role as the central financial point for the district
insured its survival. It housed business establishments,
financial institutions, local and county governmental buildings
including Eureka City Hall (1899) and a Juab County Courthouse
(1892), various churches, and the meeting places for numerous
labor, social, and fraternal organizations. Eureka became
especially active as a successful political field for Utah's
Socialist party. Mining entrepreneurs such as John Q. Packard,
John Beck, Jesse Knight, Walter Fitch Sr., and others loomed as
important figures in Eureka and Tintic history. A relative calm
and peaceful labor environment marked Eureka's past.
The Chief Consolidated operated during the 1930s and into the
1950s, helping to keep Eureka's economy afloat. Small scale
mining operations have continued, but most residents work in
valley towns and for government services, such as the Tooele
Army Depot. Being located on Utah Highway 6, Eureka is on a
main trail to the Little Sahara Sand Dunes area. In 1979 Eureka
was placed in the National Register of Historic Places as part
of the Tintic Mining District Multiple Resource Area,
recognizing the importance of remaining buildings and sites.

McCune, History of Juab County (1947); Philip F. Notarianni,

Walter Fitch, Sr. is a prominent figure in the mining circles
of Utah. He makes his home at Eureka, where he supervises the
mining interests which he and his sons projected some twelve
years since. He was born in London, England, January 20, 1854,
a son of Alfred Fitch, a descendant of the old Fitch family of
Essex and Norfolk counties, England. The son Walter was
seventh in order of birth in a family of nine children. He came
to the United States in 1874, going to the mining region of
Upper Michigan, where he engaged in mining work, ultimately
having charge of and becoming the manager of a number of mines
there and in Minnesota, representing prominent Boston and
Pittsburgh interests. After twenty odd years service with
these he was superintendent of the underground operations of
the Calumet and Hecla and afterward was general manager of the
United States Mining & Smelting Company of Utah, giving up
these to take up like work for himself.
It was in Michigan that Mr. Fitch was married to Miss Exilda
Marcotte, a native of the state of New York. Mr and Mrs
Fitch's three sons and two daughters were all born in Michigan.
After living there for thirty years Mr. Fitch and his family
moved to Utah, where he and his sons have, for the last twelve
years, been engaged in building up the business of their
company-The Chief Consolidated Mining Company. The scene of
their operations is in the Tintic mining district and it was
here they made their search for and found the mines which now
rank as the largest in the district and as silver producers are
among the largest in the country. After living in Salt Lake
City for two years the family, in 1909, decided to live at the
mines, and to this action Mr. Fitch believes large credit is to
be given for the successful results gained.
The eldest of the sons, Howard Fitch, is engaged in the
geological department of the work. He served during the World
War with the One Hundred Fifteenth Engineers of the Sixth Army
Corps, and was with the troops for eleven months in France.
Cecil Fitch and Walter Fitch, Jr., both graduates of the
Michigan College of Mines, were the active factors in the
development and opening up of the mines of the Chief
Consolidated, Cecil has been twelve years at the work and is
now the general manager, while Walter, Jr., after devoting
seven years to this, took up mining work on his own account and
now has a very successful business as a contractor of mining,
operating in several states. The eldest daughter, Lillian,
became the wife of J. Fred Johnson, who holds the position of
superintendent of the Chief Consolidated Company. He served
with the One Hundred Sixteenth Engineers of the Forty-First
Division in France. Maud, the second daughter, is well known
to the people of the state and in her own town for her
activities and her benevolent and enterprising characteristics.
She served in the World War with the English, Hackett-Lowther
Ambulance Unit, which operated with the Third French Army in
the Compeigne and Saint Quentin campaigns. She received the
decoration of the Croix de Guerre.
The Fitch family are communicants of the Catholic Church and
are its strongest supporters in their own village. Mr. Fitch
and his sons are members of the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers and of its local chapter, and also
of the Alta and University Clubs. Mr. Fitch is a member of the
Commercial Club of Salt Lake City and of the Rocky Mountain
Club of New York, the Mining and Metallurgical Society of
America, of the Houghton Club of Michigan, one of the vice
governors of the chapter of the American Mining Congress and
one of the regents of the University of Utah. He is president
of his own company-the Chief Consolidated. He became a citizen
of this country in 1876 and has always been a republican in
politics.

The entrance in 1909 of the Chief Consolidated Mining Company
into the area proved of great importance to Eureka and the
Tintic Mining District. Walter Fitch, Sr., had entered Tintic
earlier, purchasing shares of the Little Chief Mining Company.
On January 21, 1909, the company was incorporated, and by March
operations launched. Fitch erected a home near the Chief
surface plant. Completed in June, the dwelling was constructed
by H.C. Campbell of Eureka. In July, Fitch organized the
Eureka City Mining Company, with the explicit purpose of
prospecting under the Eureka townsite. The owner of an acre of
ground was to receive 1000 shares of stock for mineral rights
to the property. According to records at the Juab County
Recorder's office mineral rights to most properties were indeed
purchased in 1909. By July 1910 the Reporter gave notice that
the Chief Consolidated and Eureka City Mining companies were
consolidating. Fitch's ventures proved successful. A December
1909 account reported that fifty men were being employed, an
assay office and a six-compartment ore bin completed, and that
the company sought the building of a machine shop. In
addition, at that time a new hoisting plant was to be installed
in the future. Within the next decade the Chief would emerge
as a giant in Tintic.
Another mining company, the Utah Mineral Concentrating Company
built a concentration plant of 100 tons daily capacity in the
latter months on 1914. The experimental mill, intended to
concentrate ores primarily form the Chief, was built near the
Plutus property east of the Chief No. 1 shaft, about 200 feet
from the switch leading to the Eagle and Blue Bell and Victoria
mines. Henry M. Atkinson, general manager of Utah Mineral,
took charge of construction. By January 1915 the mill was
reportedly doing "very satisfactory work," but in 1916 the
plant closed for an indefinite period due to financial
difficulties."
The Chief Consolidated Mining Company surged ahead in the
1910's. Just southeast of the shaft the area known as
Fitchville developed. Walter Fitch, Sr. had built a home
patterned in a Swiss chalet-type of architecture in 1909
(remodeled in 1917). During 1912-16 other structures were
erected, and as Fitchville evolved main dwellings were erected
for Cecil Fitch, Sr.; Howard Fitch, the Chief's geologist; J.
Fred Johnson, who had married Lilian Fitch and was the
superintendent of the Chief; and Walter Fitch, Jr. (later the
Hilsdale home), the Chief's contractor. These dwellings were
designed by architect Walter J. Cooper who had arrived in Utah
in 1910 to work for Henry Ives Cobb, the architect who
designed, among other buildings, the Boston and Newhouse
buildings in Salt Lake City
New buildings were erected at Homansville in 1916 where the
Chief maintained a lime quarry. Later in 1917 new ore bins,
designed by Cooper, were erected at the mine, and work
commenced on a shaft by Walter Fitch, Jr. In 1918 a brick
change room east of the hoisting plant was built. A highlight
of the Chief's construction efforts centered about the sinking
in 1918 of a new three-compartment shaft, known as Chief No. 2,
about one-half mile east of Chief No. 1. This shaft proved
unique in being a triple compartment "concrete-lined" shaft.
Walter Fitch, Jr., contractor, sank the shaft and the concrete
work completed by the Villadsen Brothers, Salt Lake
contractors. The Chief became the first mine in Utah to try
out the advantages of a concrete shaft.
Other mines initiated various ventures. The Eagle and Blue
Bell erected a new ore house in 1912, and later in the year a
steel gallows frame glistened at the Iron Blossom No. 1 shaft.
Of particular impact was the construction in 1914 of a brick
sub-station by Utah Power and Light, near Fitchville, which
provided an improved source of electrical power. The year 1915
witnessed increased activity in the shipping of various dumps.
Shipments were made from the Sioux mill and Eureka Hill mill
dumps. In addition, the Mammoth mine shipped about 4,000 tons
of tailings from the old mill near the McIntyre ranch. Such
activity continued sporadically throughout the 1915-18 period.
Leasing proved very successful during the same period. The
system involved the leasing of a block of ground within a mine,
necessitating the payment of royalties to the owning company.
In 1915 hundreds of lessors were reportedly doing very well at
the Gemini, Chief, May Day, Eureka HIll, Bullion Beck, Yankee,
Beck Tunnel, and Colorado mines. The Chief's system of block
leasing became the first to give the miner a chance at really
sharing in the mine's profits.

Samuel Fitch
FITCH, Samuel, loyalist, born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1720; died in Halifax, Nova Scotia, probably in 1786. He received his education in Boston, and practiced law in that City with success. In 1774, at the height of Hutchinson's unpopularity, Mr. Fitch was one of the signers of the address approving his course, and warmly espoused the royalist cause. Ill 1776 he removed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he held, under the king, the office of solicitor, or counselor at law, to the board of commissioners. He was proscribed and banished from the United Colonies in 1778, and was included in the conspiracy act of 1779. The same year (1779) he went to England, visited Hutchinson in his retirement and decline, and was appointed to deliver the loyalist address to the king. In 1783 he paid another official visit to England, remained two years, returning to Halifax in 1785, where he died.

Fitch served in the American Revolution (1775–83) and later surveyed land along the Ohio River. Settling in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in 1785, he became interested in building steamboats. He sought and failed to obtain subsidies from the Continental Congress, but he later succeeded in receiving exclusive rights from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware to build and operate steamboats on their waters. Backed by Philadelphia financiers, he built a 45-foot (14-metre) craft that had a successful trial on the Delaware River on August 22, 1787, before a group of delegates to the Constitutional Convention. He then built a larger steamboat to carry passengers and freight. Propelled by paddle wheels, it made well-advertised, regularly scheduled trips between Philadelphia and Burlington, New Jersey. After a battle with James Rumsey over claims to invention, Fitch was granted a U.S. patent for steamboats on August 26, 1791, and a French patent the same year. | ||||

For other people named Thomas Fitch, see Thomas Fitch.
Thomas Fitch V (1725 – January 16, 1795) was a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives from Norwalk in the sessions of October 1761, May and October 1763, May and October 1764, May and October 1765, May and October 1766, May 1767, October 1768, May and October 1769, October 1770, October 1771, October 1772, October 1773, October 1775, and May 1776.
He was the son of Governor Thomas Fitch, IV and Hannah Hall Fitch. He served as an officer in the French and Indian War, primarily in upstate New York, near Fort Crailo. Although he and his troops are widely believed to be the inspiration for the song Yankee Doodle, contemporary scholars now believe that its origins are at least twelve years earlier.[1]
Yankee Doodle Legend
[edit]
There is a legend that during the French and Indian War, Fitch was the commander of four New England Regiments.[2] Tradition states that Captain Fitch received the song in 1755 as a joke from British surgeon Dr. Richard Shuckburgh, making Fitch the original "Yankee Doodle".[2][3][4]
Fitch's grave marker states that he is the inspiration for the song "Yankee Doodle." The marker claims that Captain Fitch had assembled his company of recruits at the Fitch homestead in Norwalk at the beginning of the French and Indian War. His sister Elizabeth was concerned about the recruits' appearance and lack of uniforms, so she presented each man with a chicken feather for their hats that would present the image of uniformity. Their appearance when entering West Albany, with feathers in their hats and unpolished clothing, caused British surgeon Dr. Shuckburgh to write verses mocking Fitch and his men as "Yankee Doodles and Macaronies". However, the sentiment changed to become more favorable after the successful campaigns at Ticonderoga and Crown Point in 1759.
Fitch had the rank of Senior Colonel and was in command of sixteen regiments by the time that he had left the service three years later.
Life after military service
[edit]
After that conflict, Thomas, V returned to Norwalk. He was a prominent resident during and after the American Revolution. He served as a town councilman. He was, along with Thaddeus Betts, in the first delegation from Norwalk to the Connecticut House of Representatives in 1776. He helped with the reconstruction efforts after the burning of Norwalk in 1779.[5]
He died on January 16, 1795, and was buried in the East Norwalk Historical Cemetery.
Historical dispute
[edit]
Norwalk historian, Gloria Stewart claims that eighteenth century documents available from the Connecticut state archives dispute the Yankee Doodle identity.[6] One document is a bill for work copying and sending letters for the Connecticut General Assembly. The other is a 1775 document written by Fitch stating that he resigned his commission because of rheumatism that he had for twenty years.[6]
In addition, no Thomas Fitch from Norwalk appears as a colonel in the Rolls of Connecticut Men in the French and Indian War, 1755-1762.[7] There were only two regiments in June of 1755. Only Major General Phineas Lyman led more than a single regiment. Indeed, no Colonel appears to been sent from Norwalk in the war. The original Yankee Doodle song did not mention a pony, a feather or "Marconi", items which first appear in 1841 in a children's nursery version of the song.[8]

by Charles Martin Ward, Jr.
Jane Johnson, born circa 1720/1 in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ, daughter of William Johnson and Jannetje Wyckoff; died circa 1769; m. 19 Jan 1739, in Middlesex Co., NJ, Samuel Fitch, b. 16 Jan 1719 in Piscataway, Middlesex Co., NJ; d. 15 Dec 1800 in Berkeley Co., VA (now WV), son of Daniel Fitch and Sarah Hull.
The Johnson and Wyckoff families were both of Dutch origin, having settled in New Amsterdam in the seventeenth century.William Johnson (c1693-1782) was a son of Jan Barentse Van Driest and his wife, Jannetje Willemse Van Barkelow.Interestingly, through his mother, William Johnson was a great-grandson of Anthony Janszoon van Salee and his wife, Griet Reyniers, about whom much has been written. William Johnson adopted the Johnson surname, derived from the traditional Dutch use of patronymics. William Johnson was originally Willem Jansen, or in other words, Willem, “son of Jan.”Jannetje Wyckoff, his wife, was a daughter of Martin Pietersen Wyckoff and granddaughter of Pieter Claesen Wyckoff (c1625-1694).William Johnson and Jannetje Wyckoff left Kings County, New York and settled in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ shortly after their marriage, around 1713.
Samuel Fitch, the husband of Jane Johnson, was a son of Daniel Fitch and his wife, Sarah Hull.Sarah Hull had previously been married to Benjamin Carle.She is known to have had at least two children by her first husband:Rosanna Carle (b.1698) and John Carle (b.1700).A Benjamin Carle served as a bondsman for the marriage of Samuel Fitch to Jane Johnson.It’s likely this was another son of Sarah Hull and her first husband, making Benjamin Carle a likely half-brother of Samuel Fitch.Interestingly, a Benjamin Carle married Sophia Johnson, daughter of Peter Johnson, brother to Jane (Johnson) Fitch.This Benjamin Carle is often incorrectly identified as “Benjamin Coile” based on a misreading of Peter Johnson’s will.The Carle surname was alternately spelled Corle, along with other variants.
Although Samuel Fitch was of English descent on both the paternal and maternal sides of his family, his marriage to Jane Johnson brought him into contact with the Dutch community in New Jersey.Samuel Fitch and his family left New Jersey and settled in Berkeley Co., VA by the early 1770s, if not earlier.There they remained in contact with families from the New Jersey Dutch community who had established a presence in Sheperdstown (now located in Jefferson Co., WV).For example, Samuel Fitch was a plaintiff in a case that pitted him against a distant relative of his wife, Christian Snedeker, in a case of trespass (1772-1773).Snedeker was married to the former Alte Van Arsdalen, whose mother, Sarah Wyckoff, was descended from Jane Johnson’s great-grandfather, Pieter Claesen Wyckoff.Christian Snedeker’s relatives, Isaac and Jacobus Snedeker, served as two of three witnesses to the will of William Johnson, father of Jane Johnson, wife of Samuel Fitch.
The will of William Johnson, of New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ, was written 20 Dec 1768 and proven 20 Apr 1782.The will identifies his children, including his daughter, Jane, referred to in the will as Jean.It should be mentioned here that Jane Johnson’s given name was the anglicized form of her mother’s Dutch given name, Jannetje.
Jane (Johnson) Fitch is traditionally said to have died when her son, John Fitch, was eight years old, placing her death probably about 1769.Samuel Fitch would later marry, as his second wife, a widow, Mrs. Jemima Warner.
The Johnson surname would become a given name for the Fitch family, being perpetuated among the descendants of at least two of her sons, Peter and John.Peter Fitch, her son, was named for her brother, Peter Johnson, who served as co-executor of their father’s estate.
Some researchers in the past have misidentified the parentage of Samuel Fitch, the husband of Jane Johnson, incorrectly placing him as being the same-named son of Samuel Fitch and Mary Smith, whose children lived in Hunterdon and Mercer Counties, New Jersey.The Samuel Fitch who married Jane Johnson may be identified by the fact their marriage took place in Middlesex County, where Daniel Fitch and Sarah (Hull) Fitch resided, and the fact that a Benjamin Carle served as bondsman for the marriage.Benjamin Carle was almost certainly a relative of Sarah (Hull) Carle Fitch, as she had previously been married to a Benjamin Carle, and it’s possible he was a son by her first marriage.
Two family records taken from Bibles identity the Samuel Fitch (1719-1800) who settled in Berkeley Co., VA (now WV) as being the son of Daniel and Sarah (Hull) Fitch, of Middlesex Co., NJ.Although the family records do not specifically mention his wife by name, the factors outlined in the previous paragraph support the conclusion that the Samuel Fitch who married Jane Johnson was the same Samuel Fitch, son of Daniel and Sarah (Hull) Fitch.

Alice's grandmother Welthian Richards left her sixty pounds, apparel and bedding in her will of 3 July 1679. This was far more than Welthian left to any of her many other grandchildren. But, she added a caveat. If Alice married without her consent or the consent of Welthian's executor, Alice was to lose all bequests.
Major James Fitch was one of those admitted to the First Congregational Church in Norwich between 1660 and 1699. Apparently, after committing some infraction, he made a confession and was restored on 9 April 1704. [7]
"His energy, self-reliance and inflexibility of purpose, with his strong sympathies with the cause of the people, would have qualified him in an eminent degree for a popular leader, had it not been for his occasional rashness and the violence of his opposition to men or measures that interfered with the accomplishment of his objects." [8, 3:456â7, editor's comments]
The Winthrop brothers referred to James Fitch as "Black James" and said that he was the leader of "rude fellows of desperate fortune." In his article about Fitch, James N. Poteet calls him a "politician, land speculator, and disturber of the established order in colonial Connecticut." [9]
The History of Windham County says, "In private life, Major Fitch was genial, generous, hospitable, agreeable in manners and conversation, but somewhat over-convivial in his habits, so that he was sometimes compelled to make confessions to the Church, as well as to the State. In spite of censures and occasional suspension from communion, he retained through life his connection with the church of Norwich, though ever ready to do his part in sustaining public worship at Canterbury. The homestead at Peagscomsuck was long a noted business and social centre." [10, 154]
On 29 February 1675, Joshua Uncas, son of Uncas, Sachem of Moheag, made his will, leaving land to James Fitch, Jr. and Joseph Fitch. James Fitch, Assistant, entered the will on 29 April 1684. [11]
Mr. James Fitch of Norwich was propounded for freeman on 13 May 1675. [8]
James was a deputy for Norwich at the May and October courts from 1678 to 1680 and the October court in 1681. [8, 3: 3, 16, 26, 35, 48, 66, 86] He was chosen a commissioner for Norwich for the ensuing year at the May courts from 1678 to 1680. [8, 3: 5, 26, 49] He was nominated to stand for election for assistant at the October courts in 1678 and 1679. [8, 3: 23, 37]
In 1679 the New London court ruled that Uncas and his son Owaneco should transfer 600 acres in compensation for damage caused by their men in a drunken outbreak. In October, the General Court ruled that Jamesâthe county treasurerâshould sell the land. He sold it to John, Solomon and Daniel Tracy, and Richard Bushnell. [10]
Mr. James Fitch, Jr. was appointed to a committee to compensate Indians for damaged corn on 9 October 1679. The same court granted him liberty to use a 200-acre farm south of John Tracy's, given to him by Uncas and Owaneco. [8, 3: 43â44]
In May 1680, James was confirmed as the captain of the Norwich trainband. [8, 3: 60] James was confirmed Sergeant Major New London county in October 1696, a position he was formerly appointed to by the governor and the council. The four Connecticut sergeant majors were declared majors in October 1697. [8, 4: 189, 226]
James was appointed to a committee to audit colony accounts at the October 1680, May 1682, May 1683, October 1690, and October 1692 courts. [8, 3: 72, 102, 120; 4: 37, 79]
It appears that land was granted somewhat haphazardly in Connecticut, leading to frequent arguments, and many of these involved misunderstandings with the Indians. In May 1680, James was appointed to a committee to hear about differences with the Indians and between them. [8, 3: 52] In October 1680, he was on a committee to settle the boundary between New London and the Mohegans. [8, 3: 71] In May 1681, Captain James Fitch was appointed to a committee to go about with Uncas, sachem of Moheag, and ascertain what lands he thinks are his. [8, 3:81] In May 1683, he was appointed to a committee to procure land for the Pequots in Stonington; its success was reported at the October 1683 court. [8, 3: 117, 125]
In 1680 and 1684, James persuaded Owaneco, the son of Uncas, to accept him as his guardian and vest in him the title to the Quinebaug country: a swathe of land encompassing more than one million acres. Unfortunately for James, the father of the Winthrop brothersâGovernor John Winthrop, Jr.âhad also acquired a claim from a different chieftain. The long battle for control of the Quinebaug, which James ultimately lost, is described by James Poteet in his article, "More Yankee Than Puritan: James Fitch of Connecticut." [9]
"The double land claim occasioned much confusion. The Fitch and Winthrop adherents were at open war with each other. Major Fitch was especially careless as to the character of his tenants and had great difficulty in collecting rents from them. The first existing records relating to the Quinebaug Plantation tell of opposition, violence, resistance to authority and other high-handed misdemeanors." [10, 107]
Captain James Fitch was an assistant at the May courts in 1681 to 1691 and the October courts in 1682, 1683, 1686 , 1687, 1689 and 1690. He was an assistant at both the May and October courts from 1692 to 1697 and 1700 to 1704 and at the May court in 1705 to 1708. [8, vols. 3, 4]
On 24 June 1684, James procured a deed from Owaneco (also signed by his son and heir Josiah and further confirmed by a quitclaim from some Shawtucket Indians who had lived there) to a large tract of land. The parcel was north of Norwich [Windham], joining it from the Waramanticut River to Abaquage pond. From the pond, the line ran east to the Quinebaug River. From the Waramanticut River, the line ran about 45 miles to the southwest boundary, a great pond called Misshinaps. From there, it ran north to and beyond the Massachusetts border, containing the Nipmug and Wabaquassuck countries. In May 1686, the court noted that Captain James Fitch had purchased the native right to Wabaquassett country and settlers from Roxbury wanted to settle there, which the court granted. A patent was issued to James Fitch and several others on 8 July for the new plantation in Wabaquassett country. The bounds comprise current-day Pomfret and northern Brooklyn. [8, 3: 202]
On 13 June 1689âduring Jacob Leisler's administrationâCaptain James Fitch and Major Nathan Gold were ordered to New York to meet with Leisler. They arrived on 21 June. [8, 3: 255]
In October 1690, the court granted James that his former grant of 1,000 acres should be 1,500 acres near the northeast corner of the colony line. [8, 4: 40]
In 1691 and 1692, James wrote and published two pamphlets, A Plain Short Discourse and A Little of the Much, justifying the resumption of a charter government. In 1859 they were not known to exist. James's purchase of the Waquasset and Nipmug country and other large tracts in New London and Windham County made him one of the largest landowners in the colony. It increased his interest in ousting Andros, who did not respect Indian titles and deeds. [8, 3: 456, editor's comments]
On 6 March 1692/3 the court voted that a company should join with Massachusetts in an expedition against the enemy to the east. It was decided to send 30 Indians with them and James was one of three people charged with picking a man to lead them. [8, 4: 90]
On 1 June 1693, John Tracy of Norwichâby an appeal from a court on 20 September 1692âsued Captain James Fitch of Norwalk for refusing to give him a deed for one-tenth of his land in Wabaquasett and Nipmuck contrary to an agreement of 15 February 1685. He asked for the deed and damages of 100 pounds. The previous jury had found for Fitch; this court found for Tracy and ordered Fitch to produce the deed and pay 49 shillings in costs. [12] On 12 October 1693, upon a petition by John Tracy, the general court ordered that a deed be prepared for Fitch to sign, and if he refused, he must appear before the general court in May. [8, 4: 109]
The October 1693 court said it was concerned about growing disputes over land differences between the Indians, namely Owaneco and Abimileck, differences in which [James's first wife's brother] Captain Samuel Mason and Captain James Fitch were engaged, and other disputes as well. It directed Governor Colonel John Allyn and Mr. Nathaniel Stanley to go to Norwich to ascertain the situation and report to the court. [8, 4: 108]
At the October 1696 court, Colonel Allin, Major Fitch, and Major Sellick were appointed to revise the law on the valuation of money and advise the court. Colonel Allin, Major Fitch, and the secretary were appointed to revise colony's laws. [8, 4: 189]
The May 1697 court put James and Captain Witherell in charge of repairing the fort at New London. [8, 4: 213]
In January 1697/8, James was appointed to a committee to meet with the Rhode Islanders and agree the boundary between Rhode Island and Connecticut. [8, 4: 238]
In 1697 James moved to Canterbury. By then, his fortunes were suffering; his enormous land dealings incited jealousy and lawsuits. He was charged with various maladministrations. [10]
"The social position of Major Fitch and his wide business relations, drew many people around him, and his plantation at once became a place of no small consequenceâa rendezvous for land traders, civil and military officials and hordes of idle Indians. Here courts were held, military expeditions organized, and many thousand acres of land bartered away." [13, 483]
At the May 1698 court, Major General Fitz John Winthrop was elected governor, and James was not elected an assistant. Captain Samuel Mason replaced James on the committee to meet with the Rhode Islanders. [8, 4: 244, 259]
In October 1699, Fitz John Winthrop, Jr. of New London, Esq. and Waitstill Winthrop of Boston, Esq. appeared in court to appeal a 19 September 1699 County Court decision. They claimed Major James Fitch of Pigscomsuck in the County of New London had illegally entered the Quinebaug on 6 April 1696, which they owned, and began occupying and improving the land. The Winthrops had claimed 500 pounds in damages, but the jury found for Fitch. The jury in the appeal found for the plaintiffs and awarded them £5-19-10 in damages. Fitch appealed in May 1700. [12]
In October 1699, attorneys for the country constituted by the governor and the council brought complaint against Fitch for the illegal purchase of a "great tract" of Owaneco's land in the Nipmug and Wabaquassett country. [8, 4: 305]
On 13 November 1699, James, Joseph Spalding, Richard Adams, Joshua Whitney, Benjamin Spalding and James Kingsbury signed a petition to incorporate Plainfield and hire a minister. [10]
In May 1700, after being left out for two years, James was elected an assistant again.
In October 1701, the deputy governor and the council ordered a writ against Fitch, ordering him to appear before the General Assembly in May to answer John Gallop's complaint of maladministration. [8, 4: 368] On 4 November 1701, James Fitch was the plaintiff in a defamation suit against Mr. John Gallup of Stonington. The court found for him, Mr. Gallup was assessed costs of £2-09-06. [12]
In May 1702, John Fellows, Ebenezer Harris, and John Gallup, Jr. complained that they had cleared, planted, and brought nearly to harvest crops on land in Plainfield. James had forced them off, arrested and imprisoned themâextorting a considerable amount of money for their release. The court ruled that James's conduct was "very erroneous and illegal" and he was liable for the complainants' losses. [8, 4: 391]
On 24 December 1702, James signed an agreement for two religious societies in Plainfield. James and Richard Adams were two of the east side signers; Joseph and Benjamin Spalding, Jacob Warren, Stephen Hall, and Joshua Whitney were some of the west side signers. [10]
In May 1703, John Winthrop launched a complaint against Fitch, accusing him of mishandling witnesses in the case of Nicholas Hollam's contesting of John Liveen's will. The court found Fitch guilty of maladministration. [8, 4: 430]
In October 1703, the Worshipful Major James Fitch and Captain Richard Bushnell were charged with leading the soldiers in Preston to a choice of officers. [8, 4: 442]
When John Winthrop and Waitstill Winthrop sued Philip Bump for trespass on 17 November 1703, James Fitch acted as his attorney. He was an attorney for Joseph Johnson of Plainfield on 3 May 1705 in a case against the Winthrop brothers. The court found against Johnson. In May 1707, the court awarded him costs in a case where he acted as attorney for Benjamin Clarke against the Winthrop brothers. [12]
The May 1706 the court appointed a committee to mediate the differences over the land at Quinebaug between the governor and Major James Fitch. [8, 4: 535]
The October 1707 court appointed James to make an equal division of the soldiers in Stonington. [8, 5: 33]
At the October 1710 court, Major James Fitch of Canterbury, on behalf of the town, petitioned for an order settling the boundary between Canterbury and Windham. This was granted. [8, 5: 181]
On 25 June 1711, the Congregational Church in Canterbury held its first meeting at Major Fitch's house. [7]
"Major Fitch, during these years was unquestionably the leading citizen of Canterbury, though his pretensions and exactions involved him in frequent quarrels with his fellow-townsmen. In public affairs he was still very prominent, though often in collision with the government and its officials." [10]
James Fitch claimed the land that is now Stafford by Indian title. This was disputed by the governor and and Fitch responded with, "As to a kind of proclamation lately come forth from the Honourable Governour and Council, in February last, I had thought to have taken it to pieces, and I think I could have done it and cut it in as many pieces as the protestant did the popish woden god. ... God save the King, and the Colony of Connecticut from self defining and self seeking men." Fitch was confronted in the General Assembly, and in May 1717, he made a written acknowledgment of his bad behaviour towards his Honor the Governor, asked for a pardon and promised to behave better. The Upper House wished to punish him, but he was discharged. [8, 5:586]
James retired to Canterbury, where he died.
James did not leave a will. He deeded his property to his children, apparently subject to an agreement (not known to still exist) that they would support him and his wife. His two surviving children by his first wifeâJedidiah, who moved to Nantucket, and Samuel, who moved to Jamaica, Long Islandâwere apparently not parties to this agreement. [5]
Children of Major James Fitch and Elizabeth Mason:
i. James Fitch was born in January 1677 in Norwich and died there a week later. [2]
ii. James Fitch was born on 7 June 1679 in Norwich. [2] He apparently died young, as there is no further record. [5]
iii. Jedidiah Fitch was born on 17 April 1681 in Norwich. [2] He died on 20 November 1756 in Nantucket. [5] He married Abigail Coffin (Peter, Peter, Tristam) on 13 September 1701 in Nantucket. [5]
iv. Samuel Fitch was born on 12 July 1683 in Norwich. [2] He died in 1729 in Hopewell, New Jersey. [5] He married Mary Unknown. [5]
Samuel moved to Jamaica, Long Island.

] | 2024-08-06T20:05:44+00:00 | The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, has charged law students to harness their potential to drive sustainable development and shape the future of the oil region. | en | Punch Newspapers | https://punchng.com/nddc-boss-tells-law-students-to-drive-ndelta-development/ | The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, has charged law students to harness their potential to drive sustainable development and shape the future of the oil region.
Ogbuku gave the charge on Tuesday while speaking at the 2024 Moot and Mock Trial Competition for Law Faculties in the Niger Delta region, held at the Nigerian Law School in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The NDDC boss emphasised the critical role of legal education and the legal profession in nation-building and community service, which he said hinders intellectual prowess and justice.
He charged participants to engage in intellectually stimulating arguments, highlighting the region’s peculiarities and canvassing solutions to guide future legislation, facilitating even and rapid development.
Ogbuku said, “It is our belief in the NDDC that legal advocacy can play a significant role in highlighting the challenges that bedevil the Niger Delta region and proffering solutions to those challenges.
“The critically important role of Legal Education and the Legal profession in shaping our nation’s destiny cannot be over-emphasized.
“Law and the legal profession will continue to play definitive roles in nation-building and community service. ”
The NDDC MD/Chief Executive Officer reminded the young lawyers that they are the future of the profession and encouraged them to prove that their intellect is the most potent weapon to fight for their rights, rather than resorting to violence.
Ogbuku stated that his leadership has made educational development and human capacity-building key policy thrusts, aiming to make a real difference in the lives of the Niger Delta people.
The Chairman Governing Board of the NDDC, Chiedu Ebie, while presenting educational support materials and weekly Law reports to Law Libraries of participating Schools, emphasized that the essence of the competition was not solely to produce a winner, but to showcase the remarkable return on investment in the education of youths of thevNiger Delta.
He highlighted the NDDC’s commitment to nurturing brilliant legal minds, equipping them to become champions of the region, armed with the powerful tools of their voice, intellect, and the law.
The Commission’s board Chairman encouraged participants to embrace the platform as an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and pledged the interventionist agency’s continued support for excellence in legal advocacy.
Speaking, the Special Guest of Honour and former President of the Nigeria Bar Association, Onueze Okocha, SAN, expressed pride in the viability of the legal profession in Nigeria, while acknowledging a decline in standards.
Okocha highlighted two pressing concerns: the decline of standards in the legal profession and the proliferation of development agencies in Nigeria.
He blamed the decline in legal standards on the broader societal challenges facing Nigeria but assured that the NBA is working to maintain discipline and uphold the rule of law.
Okocha also expressed concerns about the replication of development agencies like the NDDC in other zones, saying it may lead to politicization and diversion of attention from the commission’s unique mandate to address the specific challenges of the oil-beating Niger Delta region.
Meanwhile, 13 Universities in the nine Niger Delta states will participate in the 2024 Moot Court competition as it intends to bring the students in a healthy contest and frame facts from legal issues peculiar to the socio-political environment of the region. | |||||

CAPT. JOHN FITCH'S INJURIES
A letter received by the Caller from San Antonio states that Mr. John Fitch, who recently met with a painful accident, is still seriously ill. The letter says: "Mr. Fitch and his men were at work pulling stumps with the stump puller, when the horse made a lounge forward and the hook on the double tree broke, letting the sweep fly back. It struck Mr. Fitch on the right leg, which was broken below the joint. He was also bruised on several other parts of the body, including his head and right arm." The many friends of the old gentleman in Corpus Christi hope that he will fully recover within a very short time.

Born in Windsor, Connecticut, Fitch had little formal schooling, having spent his early years working his family's farm. He later was apprenticed to a clockmaker, learned brass working and opened his own brass foundry, tried his hand as a silversmith, and was a supplier to the Continental Army during the American Revolution. After the war, he surveyed the Northwest Territories before beginning his quest to invent a steam-powered boat.
Fitch built a forty-five foot boat that was propelled by twelve steam-powered oars. He successfully demonstrated the boat on the Delaware River in August 1787, and received his first U.S. patent in 1791. In the decade after 1785, Fitch built steamboats propelled by ranked paddles, paddle wheels, and screw propellers.
By 1788, Fitch had launched a steamboat carrying passengers between Philadelphia and New Jersey, and one making regular runs across the Delaware River. But early financial losses, uncertain investors, and a skeptical public prevented commercial success. Nonetheless, Fitch had demonstrated the feasibility of steam navigation, a technology central to American progress in the nineteenth century. | |||

Samuel Fitch “was a farmer in Reading. A facsimile of his signature is found in the REGISTER, Vol. ii., page 234.”8 According to Eaton’s Reading,25 in 1666 the town of Reading ordered “‘that the “Great Swamp,” and all other Swamps that are wett and fitt to make meadow, shall be (divided) quantity and quality considered, to every man, according to each man’s proportion.’ Names of the inhabitants that drew land in the ‘Division of the Great Swamp,’ with their minister rates in the preceeding year” included Samuel Fitch. Further,26 in 1677 the town of Reading “ordered and agreed ‘that all the privileges of land, timber, and commons shall belong unto the present houses, now erected, and to no other, that shall be erected hereafter.’ There was at this time, already erected, fifty-nine houses” one of which was owned by Samuel Fitch.
Eaton also reports27 that “It appears that the towne of Reading purchased of the Indians the territory of Reading some years prior to this date [1689], for the sum of about ten pounds; but it had not been paid for. This year an assessment was laid to pay the money; and...a ‘coppie of A Rate made to be payd in money, to be payd to the Indians for the purches of the town’s land’” included Samuel Fitch, assessed at 10d. In 1692, according to Eaton28, “there was another general Division of lands, on the Easterly and Westerly sides of the town. The list of the names of the Drawers..., with their respective minister taxes, for the purpose of showing who were residents of the town at this date, and their relative pecuniary reputation,” included Samuel Fitch, assessed at 16s. 7d.
Only one of Samual Fitch’s children, his first child Samuel, survived beyond infancy, and this son was orphaned when he was about 10. “In his will [Samuel Fitch] commits his only surviving child, Samuel, to the care of Robert Avery, who married a sister of his first wife.”8 | |||||||

Source: Portrait and Biographical Album of Green Lake, Marquette and Waushara Counties, Wisconsin, published 1890 by Acme Publishing Co., Chicago, Pages 450 - 451 Hon. George Fitch, the present Senator for the 9th Wisconsin Senatorial District, and the junior member of the firm of Sacket & Finch, bankers of Berlin, was born in Glens Falls, Warren Co., N. Y., on Nov. 3, 1846, and is the son of Edward and Sarah (Roberts) Fitch. His father was born in Norwalk, Fairfield Co., Conn., and was of English Puritan descent. The Fitch family is one of the old historic families of America and boasts among its members and connections many men and women whose names bear honorable mention in the annals of their respective States. The name is of German origin, and the family history shows that Bocking, a village of Baintree, Essex Co., England, which is situated about forty miles northeast of London, and which was originally peopled by Flemish emigrants, was the home of Thomas Fitch, the progenitor of the American family. He had, if tradition is correct, five sons, three of whom are supposed to have died in their native land, while two, Thomas and Joseph, accompanied their mother to America after her husband's decease. Thomas and Joseph Fitch settled in Norwalk, Conn., about the year 1635. The former remained in that city, but Joseph removed to Norwich. Thomas Fitch was one of the forefathers of Norwalk and lived to extreme old age. His eldest son, Thomas, died in 1690. Thomas Fitch, the third of that name, son of Thomas Fitch, Jr., as he was designated in the old town records, but Capt. Thomas Fitch, as the court at the capital denominated him, was born in 1671. He was the King's Commissioner in Norwalk from 1691 to 1694, and the honored father, in 1699, of a son whose destiny it was to draft a new constitution for Yale College, and to frame laws which his Sovereign pronounced superior and to attain to the highest office in the colony. He had four children - Samuel, the Crown's Justice; Thomas, who became Governor of the Colony of Connecticut; James, Deputy to the General Assembly; and Elizabeth. Gov. Thomas Fitch was married in 1724 to Hannah Hall, and ten children were born to them - Col. Thomas Fitch, Jr.; Jonathan, Ebenezer, Hannah, Mary, Timothy, Hezekiah, Elizabeth, Esther and Giles. Col. Thomas Fitch was born in 1725, and was an important personage in the Colony. He was Lord George's Justice from 1761 to 1772, and in May, 1768, was made Lieutenant-Colonel of the 9th Regiment and later was the senior Colonel, commanding sixteen Colonial regiments. Gov. Fitch was twenty years Chief Justice of the Connecticut Colony, and author of the best code of laws published in his day. Samuel M. Fitch, the maternal grandfather of George Fitch, whose name heads this sketch, married Esther Fitch, daughter of Timothy and granddaughter of Gov. Fitch, she being the second cousin of her husband. Their children were Betsy, who became Mrs. David Roberts; Edward, of Glens Falls, N. Y., and Samuel Marvin, of Norwalk. Samuel M. Fitch, Sr., died at the age of eighty-seven years and his wife when seventy-four years of age. Their son, Edward, was born in Norwalk, Conn., and married Sarah Roberts of the same State. She was born of Welsh parentage, and was reared under the auspices of the Society of Friends or Quakers. She was a woman of superior intellectual attainments, and possessed great energy and ambition, and her influence in her family for their good was felt and appreciated by husband and children, whose confidence and love she enjoyed to the day of her death. Edward Fitch removed in early life to Glens Falls, N. Y., where he was engaged in the lumber trade. The Fitch family is one of the oldest and largest in the United States, and numbers among its members citizens of high repute, among whom we may mention the Hon. Graham M. Fitch, M. D., of Indiana; Congressman Thomas Fitch, of Nevada; Lieut. Gen. Jabez, and Judge John Fitch, of Ohio; Lieut. Col. Fitch, of California; President Fitch, of Williams College; Judge Fitz-Gaines, and Drs. S. S. and Almeron Fitch, of New York; Col. Asa Fitch, of Connecticut; Major William Fitch, of New Haven, Conn., the Fitches of Fitchville; and the Norwich and Willimantic Fitches. In Colonial days they were classed among the most prominent families in New England. Major James Fitch contributed the nails and glass for the original Yale College; John Fitch was the inventor of the first steamboat, but Gov. Thomas Fitch was the most distinguished member of the family. George Fitch the subject of this sketch, received a common-school education, and when eighteen years of age went to New York City, where he was engaged in the fruit business. In 1871 he came to Berlin, Wis., and engaged in the lumber business with De Witt Palmeter, continuing in that line until September, 1876, when he sold out and formed the existing partnership with George B. Sacket in the banking business. (A history of the bank appears elsewhere.) He also became interested in cranberry culture on a large scale in partnership with De Witt Palmeter and Frank Stanley. They have 2,500 acres devoted to that use, partly in Winnebago and partly in Waushara counties. The company has invested more that $100,000 in improvements on their marsh, and have 400 acres of bearing vines. They have gathered as high as six thousand barrels of fruit of one crop, which was not more than two-thirds of the berries grown that season, one third of being lost. While the crop has never been an entire failure, there are seasons when the insects and early frosts greatly reduce the yield. With long experience Mr. Fitch thinks it is now certain that with their superior advantages for flooding the vines, that they can be very sure of a paying crop every season. He is interested in buying and selling pine lands, of which he and his partner handle large tracts. Mr. Fitch was married in Oshkosh, Wis., Feb. 15, 1992, the lady of his choice being Miss Helen P. Porter, daughter of Hon. Joseph Porter, an early settler and extensive lumber manufacturer of Wisconsin. The Porter family, of which Mrs. Fitch is a descendant, is one of the oldest and most distinguished in the country. Her ancestors joined the Massachusetts Colony in 1628, and were of the English Puritans. The name of Porter has always been conspicuous in the civil and military annals of America since that early day. Mr. and Mrs. Fitch is a Republican in politics, and has taken an active interest in the success of that party. He was elected Mayor of Berlin in 1885, serving one term, and in 1886, was elected State Senator to represent the 9th District, which comprises the counties of Green Lake, Portage, Waushara, and all of Marathon situated west of the Wisconsin River, except the part of the city of Wausaw that lies on the western bank. He was appointed and served as Chairman of the Committee on Railroads, one of the most important committees of the Senate, and won the approval of his constituents by the able manner in which he defended the rights of the people against the unjust demands of powerful corporations. Mr. Fitch enjoys an extensive acquaintance throughout the State, and is highly respected and esteemed for his ability, integrity and social qualities. He has been successful in his business enterprises, and is of well-known personal responsibility as are his partners. The banking house of Sacket & Fitch is held to be one of the solid financial institutions of the Fox River valley.

They acquired OF Austin Hays from Baltimore for RHP Seranthony Dominguez and RHP Carlos Estevez, the Angels closer, for minor leaguer pitchers Samuel Aldegheri and George Klassen.
Personally, I have always been hesitant to trade from our prospect pool. I had noticed that Aldegheri improved his velocity and pitched quite well before his promotion. Klassen also showed much better control prior to his promotion. However, I wasn’t really sold on either breaking into the Phillies rotation anytime in the future. Maybe the two constitute an overpay for Estevez. But I guess that won’t really be determined until we see how deep we go into the playoffs.
As for Dominguez, I must admit that I had as much agita when he entered a game as a lot of you get when Alvarado entered.
Expectation: I know that Dombrowski says he’s happy with their acquisitions and is likely done for the rest of the time before the deadline. That is more than likely a smoke screen as he and his minions monitor the availability of other potential targets. I’m not saying they have to make another trade or even have one in the works. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they add another high-leverage relief pitcher, bench bat, or even a starting pitcher if one or more can be acquired at reasonable cost and improves the pen, bench, or rotation.
Observation: I’m not advocating a move, but Stott is part of the black hole at the bottom of our lineup. I wonder if first-time fatherhood is presenting him with new challenges that are affecting his game, like 4:00 AM feedings, etc. I’m a little surprised that when the team’s offensive shortcomings are identified that Stott seems to avoid scrutiny. (I like Stott a lot. He’s too good not to have adjusted to the adjustments opposing teams have applied. I’m only suggesting that a newborn might be an distraction that we haven’t considered.)
Another observation: Over the past few series, it appears to me that the opposing teams hit way more hard-hit balls than we do. I don’t want to get into a discussion about launch angle, but it seems they hit a lot more line drives than se do and that we hit a lot of fly ball outs as well as pop ups. It’s only a feeling I get from watching the games the past couple weeks. I found FB% for the season and Harper, Castellanos, Turner, Marsh, and Schwarber all have percentages above league average. I’m not singling them out since I saw season numbers and they may not be reflective of the past couple weeks. Plus, they are among the leading HR hitters on the team.
Comment: Trades are often a crap shoot. I can remember when the administration traded Curtis Mead for Christopher Sanchez. Most here hated it from day one and continued to hate it even into last season. A lot of us hated the O’Hoppe for Marsh trade. Most have reconciled with it. I haven’t. He wouldn’t be a starter with the Phillies, yet but would probably have bumped Stubbs for the backup role, maybe. Certainly, next year. He’s put up better offensive numbers than both Realmuto and Marsh. Essentially, we traded a starting catcher for a platoon outfielder. Marsh’s numbers and the Hays trade kinda prove that. Anyway, here are numbers for this season and JT’s 2023 season to compare. But it looks like O’Hoppe could have been our full-time catcher by 2026 and that we traded him for a platoon outfielder who strikes out too much.
Player——-G——-PA—-H—–HR—-BB%—–SO%——BA/OBP/SLG/OPS
O’Hoppe—-90—–344—88—-14—-5.2%—–23.8%—-.279/.332/.459/.791
JT 2023——135—540—123—20—-6.5%—–25.6%—-.252/.310/.452/.762
JT 2024——56—–243—56—-7——6.2%—–25.5%—-.250/.305/.388/.693
Marsh——–82—–290—64—-10—-10.7%—-32.8%—-.251/.328/.424/.751
I don’t know if I’ll ever like the trade. But as a personality and part of this team, I do like Marsh. Hopefully, he can improve on his splits a little and cut down on his strikeouts more than a little.
I’ve spent the past couple days watching the new players in their first workouts. They all look to be in good shape. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that all the position players are well aware of the benefits of visiting the weight room. Even the two high school kids look sculpted. They took BP yesterday off a couple of coaches (One was Darnell Sweeney). All have very quiet loads. Only one showed even the slightest bit of a backward hitch. Nori in particular has an extremely quiet load and quick bat through the zone. It’s early and only one session, so I’m not going to get all hyped up over the guys. But I am quietly impressed with this group.

Thomas Fitch (1590â1632/3)
Anne Reeve (d. 1686)
Thomas, the son of George Fitch and Joan Thurgood, was born in 1590. [1] He was baptized in 1598. [1] He died between 11 December 1632 and 12 February 1632/3. He married Anna Reve of Bocking on 8 August 1611 in Saint Mary's church in Bocking. [1][2]
Anne Reeve, was the daughter of John Reeve and Mary Brock. [1] Anne Reeve (Mrs. Ann Fitch) died on 20 January 1686 in Windsor, Connecticut. [3]
Anne is mentioned in her father's will of 1620. [1]
On 27 September 1630 William Brock of Thelnetham, Suffolk, gentleman, transferred land to Thomas Fitch of Bocking, clothier. [4]
Thomas Fitch, clothier of Bocking, made his will on 11 December 1632; it was proved on 12 February 1632/3. He left his eldest son, Thomas, the chief messuage where he lived in Bocking, the adjoining messuage, all of the lands and tenements in Bocking that he purchased from Edward Peppen and John Amptill, and the barn in Bocking he bought from Thomas Trotter, on the condition he pay his sister Stracy and annuity of twenty shillings. He left his son John, when he turned 21, the messuage in Bocking he bought from Paul Usher, Peter Kirby, and Ursula Bond, the little garden or orchard in Bocking occupied by Richard Skinner, the tenement in Bocking occupied by Thomas Laye, the "great orchard" adjoining that he bought from Mr. Thomas Trotter, and 200 pounds, when he turned 21. He left his son James 100 pounds when he became a B.A. of two years standing at the University of Cambridge "for I desire he should be bredd up a scholler." James was also to have 30 pounds a year from the time of his admission to Cambridge until he received his M.A. Thomas left his sons Nathaniel and Jeremy a moiety and half of the farm messuage, lands, and tenements in Birch or elsewhere in Essex, which he bought from William Brock, gentleman, when they turned 21. His executor was to use 650 pounds from his estate to buy land in co. Essex for his younger sons Samuel and Joseph. His wife Anne was to have the lands and tenements left to Nathaniel, Jeremy, Samuel and Joseph, until they turned 16. He left his three daughters Mary, Anna, and Sara, 300 pounds each; 200 pounds to be paid at 18 and 100 at 21. He left his son Thomas his great oil cistern of lead in return for Thomas giving his little cistern to his brother John. He left his brother John Malden and his wife, the testator's sister, each 20 shillings. He left his kinsman Henry Stracy five pounds. He left his brothers John Reeve and William Stacy (Stracy?) 40 shillings each and his brother Jeremy Reeve 20 shillings. He left the residue to his wife, who was his sole executrix. [5]
Anne was sole executrix to her son Nathaniel's will in 1649. [1]
James went to New England before the rest of his family. Anne accompanied her sons Thomas, Samuel and Joseph to New England and they appear in Connecticut not long before 1650. Samuel was engaged as a school teacher in Hartford and Joseph and his mother accompanied him there. Anne Reeve was living in Hartford, Connecticut with her son Joseph in 1669. [1]
Children of Thomas Fitch and Anne Reeve:
i. Captain Thomas Fitch was born on 14 October 1612. [1] He died in 1704 in Connecticut. [6] He married Ann Stacie on 1 November 1632 in St. Mary, Bocking. [2][7] Ann was the daughter of William and Anne (or Agnes) (Garrold) Stacey. [8] See Fiske [8] for a discussion of her ancestors.
Thomas settled in Norwalk, Fairfield, Connecticut and received a grant there in 1652. [6] He bought a house lot there from Edward Church in 1654. [6]
Mr. Thomas Fitch of Norwalk was chosen by the town as their clerk of the train band and recorder of lands. This was confirmed by the General Court in Hartford on 26 February 1656. He was made a freeman at the 24 May 1657 court. He was chosen ensign of the train band in Norwalk on 11 May 1665. [9] Thomas Fitch, Sr. was on an 11 October 1669 list of freemen in Norwalk. At the time he was a selectman there. [9]
Thomas was a appointed a commissioner for Norwalk for the following year fourteen times between 13 May 1669 and 11 May 1693. He was appointed commissioner for Norwalk and Danbury on 8 May 1690 and commissioner for Danbury on 12 May 1692. [9] He was a deputy from Norwalk seven times between 8 May 1673 and 10 May 1694. [9] On 14 October 1675 Thomas was nominated as an Assistant at the next election court. [9] Thomas was appointed the Justice of the Peace for Norwalk on 9 May 1689.
On 8 October 1668 Mr. Thomas Fitch was appointed to a committee to go to Rye and hear the inhabitants' differences over land and other matters and to report back. [9] On 12 May 1670 the court granted a committee of settlers to buy land at what is now New Milford. Thomas Fitch was appointed to a committee for the well-ordered planting of the land. On 12 May 1673 he was appointed to a committee to allocate land between Stratford and Momoreanoke River to the various plantations there. [9] Mr. Fitch was appointed to sign bills for Norwalk on 25 November 1675. [9] On 9 May 1678 Thomas was appointed to a committee to lay out the bounds between Standford and Norwalk. [9] On 8 May 1684 Thomas was on a committee to order the planting of a town above Norwalk or Fairfield. [9] On 6 October 1687 Thomas signed a petition for a plantation to be named Swamfield; this was granted on 6 October, with the name changed to Danbury. [9]
Thomas was appointed captain of the Fairfield county military company on 7 August 1673. [9] On 18 February 1678 the court ordered Mr. Thomas Fitch, captain, to come with horses and recruits. [9]
Selleck refers to Thomas as the wealthiest man in the plantation. [6]
Thomas's son Thomas was the grandfather of Governor Thomas Fitch of Connecticut. [6]
ii. John Fitch was probably born between about 1614 and 1620. It said to have died of the plague in 1666. [10]
It has been claimed that this John Fitch went to New England, and that he may be the John Fitch who lived in Windsor. Fitch [1], however, argues that the will of his cousin Reeve proves that John Fitch remained in England.
iii. Reverend James Fitch was born about 1622. He died on 18 or 19 November 1702 in Lebanon, New London County, Connecticut. He married first Abigail Whitfield. He married second Priscilla Mason.
iv. Nathaniel Fitch was born on 26 December 1623. [1] He died between 15 Aug 1648, when he signed his will, and 8 May 1649, when it was proved. [1
He named his brothers Samuel and Joseph in his will. [1]
Nathaniel was of Prittlewell, co. Essex. [10, p. 141-2]
v. Jeremy Fitch was born on 5 August 1625. [1]
There is a 3 November 1652 prenuptial agreement for Jeremy Fitch, stapler and citizen of London, and Hannah Letten of Dunton, spinster. It mentions Jeremy Reeve of Dunton and John Fitch of Braintree, gentleman. It was witnessed by John Reeve and John Harris. [11]
On 9 December 1659 Jeremy Fitch of St. Botolph without Bishopsgate, Middlesex, leather seller, and Hanna his wife, sold land mentioned in their prenuptial agreement to John Reeve of Bocking, gentleman. [12]
vi. Samuel Fitch was born on 9 November 1626. [1] He died in 1659. [13] He married Susanna, the widow of William Whiting, in 1651. [13][6] Susanna married third Alexander Bryan of Milford. [6]
Samuel went to New England and was engaged to keep school in Hartford from 1 January 1649/50. [13] He was made a freeman at the 15 May 1651 court at Hartford. On 11 July 1654 the General Court in Hartford appointed Samuel to a committee to draw up letters to send to the Corporation, General Monck and Mr. Hopkins and to provide for the Commissioners. [9]
He was a deputy in 1654 and 1655. [13]
vii. Captain Joseph Fitch was born about 1630. [13][14] He was certainly living on 17 November 1719, age about 90. He probably died shortly before 30 October 1727, age 97, in East (now South) Windsor. [13] He married Mary, the daughter of Reverend Samuel Stone. [13]
In his will, Reverend Samuel Stone refers to "my sonne Joseph Fitch." [13]
Joseph went to New England. He owned land in Norwalk in 1650/1. [13] He moved to Northampton, Massachusetts. [13] He purchased a home in Hartford in 1660. [13] He lived in Podunk, which is currently in South Windsor and East Hartford. [14]
Joseph was a freeman in 1662. [13] He was on a 13 May 1669 list of freemen in Windsor. [9]
Mr. Joseph Fitch was a deputy from Windsor 18 times between 8 May 1664 and 1 September 1693. [9]
Joseph was one of three men of Windsor who on 9 September 1672 petitioned the court to enlarge the town of Windsor. This was granted on 10 October 1672. [9]
Joseph purchased land from the colony on 8 December 1662 at Podunk in Windsor. He became involved in lawsuits with his neighbors and asked the court to lay out his land. This was granted on 10 May 1677. [9]
On 29 February 1675 Joshua Uncas, son of Uncas, Sachem of Moheag, made his will, leaving land to James Fitch, Jr. and Joseph Fitch. [15]
On 28 December 1675 Mr. Joseph Fitch was appointed commander of 60 dragoons raised in Hartford County. He was referred to as Captain Joseph Fitch on 9 May 1689. [9] On 29 August 1689 Joseph was confirmed the captain of the Windsor trainband. On 11 April 1690, the court seeing the necessity of preventing Albany from being taken by the French, decided to sent two foot companies there, one to be commanded by Joseph. On 8 May 1690 the court ordered Joseph and his company to be ready to march from Hartford a week from Monday. [9]

The subject of this sketch was born in Berkeley, now Jefferson County, Va., April 15, 1777, and died in Brown County, Ohio, March 23, 1851. His father was a native of the Emerald Isle, and emigrated to the United States with two other brothers who were soon after, by some unaccountable cause, lost, and nothing of them was ever known afterward. Mr. Fitch was active in the noble achievements for our national independence, and only closed his service to his country at the termination of that memorable war. His military duties were rendered under the direct command of Gen. Washington. He contracted a disease from which he died in subsequent years, leaving a widow and three children â James, Samuel, the subject of the foregoing, and Jane. James and Jane both died in the place of their nativity, aged seventy years. Samuel was reared by a Mr. R. Bennett, who migrated with a colony to the West, stopping for a year on the farm which was the battlefield of Braddockâs defeat. In 1795, they descended the placid waters of the Ohio in a flat-boat and landed at the mouth of Limestone Creek, Ky. Young Fitch remained with Bennett till of age, in the meantime acquainting himself with the blacksmith trade, which he followed in Maysville, Ky., for thirteen years. Sometime during this period, he bought a horse and returned to the âOld Dominionâ for his mother, who returned with him on horseback, being at that time in her sixty-third year, to his new Western home. Mr. Fitch married, in Maysville, to Miss Isabelle Martin, a daughter of Edmund Martin, and a sister to Capt. Elijah Martin, of the âwar of â12 fame.â She was converted to Methodism under the able preaching of Rev. Valentine Cook, and subsequently, under the ministry of Samuel Parker, Mr. Fitch was converted. They removed to Brown County, then Adams, and purchased a farm of Belshazzar Dragoo. He moved his household goods by flat-boat, going down the Ohio, thence up Eagle Creek, arriving at their farm March 1, 1812. His new cabin home was opened to religious worship, and was, up to 1832, the rendezvous for the Christian Pilgrims. In 1832, the society erected a small brick church on Mr. Fitchâs farm, which was dedicated as Fitchâs Chapel. The dedicatory services were presided over by the Rev. Henry B. Bascom, who was licensed to preach from the log cabin of Mr. Fitch. The following, in regard to this eminent pulpit orator, appears in Simpsonâs Cyclopedia: Henry B. Bascom, D. D., one of the Bishops of the M. E. Church South, was born in Hancock, N. Y., May 27, 1796, and died m Louisville, Ky., September 8, 1850. He united with the M. E. Church in Western Pennsylvania in 1811, and was licensed to preach and received on trial in the Ohio Conference in 1813. He soon became famous as a pulpit orator. He was elected Chaplain to Congress in 1823; in 1827, was elected President of Madison College, Penn., which position he filled until 1829, when he became the agent of the American Colonization Society. He was chosen, in 1832, as Professor of Moral Sciences in Augusta College, Ky., and 1842 he became the President of Transylvania University. He was delegate to every general conference from 1828 to 1844, and 1845 he adhered to the church South. He was editor of the Southern Quarterly Review from 1846 to 1850, when he was elected Bishop at the General Conference of the M. E. Church South at St. Louis. At one period, he was perhaps the most popular pulpit orator in the United States. The remains of the parents of this worthy divine repose in the old Fitch Burying Ground, on the farm purchased by Mr. Fitch, and where the orator spent his early life and manhood, and from whence he embarked on his worldâs mission. The first house built in Brown County is now standing on the old homestead of the Fitch family. March 24, 1824, E. M. Fitch, the only surviving son, was born in the brick house erected by his father in 1821. He is the fourth son and youngest of a family of seven children â Samuel, Mary A., Jane, Martin C., E. M., James Q. and Hannah C., wife of James Howard. Our subject was married, December 8, 1842, to Jane, the youngest daughter of Col. Mills and Mary (Stephenson) Mills. Mr. Fitch has always resided on the old homestead, south east of Ripley. He has been an active member of the community in which he resides, taking a live interest in all public and private enterprises that are calculated to benefit and enrich the community or commonwealth, and especially in the moral growth and improvement of his neighborhood. He has not only been engaged extensively in the industrial pursuits of his fame and avocation, but has displayed much interest, by his munificent assistance, in the gradual development of Brown County. Mr. Fitch has been a prominent factor in the Democratic party of Brown County since the death of Webster and Clay. In 1865, he was elected a member of the Ohio Legislature and re-elected in 1867, serving two terms. His terms of service in the Legislature were active in the interest of his many constituents, and his duties were performed with honor and credit to himself. In 1876 and 1880, he was a candidate for Congress, but was unsuccessful.

From 1758 to 1759, Morris' regiment was stationed at Fort Edward, Crown Point, and nearby camps around Lake George. On July 26, 1759, Morris witnessed the Battle of Ticonderoga (Fort Carillon) lead by Jeffery Amherst.
The journal is divided into three sections:
Part I: May 25 to October 16, 1758 (pages 1-43)
Part II: April 6-December 14, 1759 (pages 44-117)
Part III: Accounts and memoranda (pages 118-187)
The first section (pages 1-43) records the activities of a Massachusetts regiment commanded by Captain Andrew Dalrymple during their march from Woodstock to Fort Edward in May 1758, and the British military encampment near Lake George (June to November 1758). Described are the march north, camp and weather conditions, various small expeditions around Lake George, news of skirmishes with the enemy, and details on deaths and burials.
Of note:
Page 10: A report of a soldier accidentally getting shot by a fellow soldier
Pages 13, 23, 31, 32: Remarks about Major Robert Rogers and his skirmishes with the Indians
Page 34: Colonel John Bradstreet's success in the taking of "Cattorogway"
The second section (pages 44-117) details Morris' experiences as a sergeant under David Holmes in the 4th Connecticut Regiment, stationed near Lake George. He described the journey to Albany with stops in Massachusetts and Fort Miller Falls, New York, and the activities of the British/colonial army preparing for a conflict with the French and their Indian allies. Included is an account of the fall of Fort Ticonderoga (July 26, 1759), and a description of sickness and hardship experienced at Crown Point from August to November 1759. Entries from this section also contain remarks about going to church, hearing sermons, and prayer (or lack thereof) on Sundays.

Page 117: After his army service, Morris begins teaching at a school in Sturbridge, Massachusetts
The remainder of the volume is comprised of accounts and memoranda primarily written from Dudley, Massachusetts (pages 118-187). Included is an entry stating that Morris had moved his family to Sturbridge, Massachusetts (April 6, 1760). Morris also documented accounts from 1761-1762 for food, goods, and services, including paying workers for construction, fieldwork, chopping wood, transporting goods to a mill, and charges for the use of his oxen and horse. Page 132 contains a receipt for goods bought and sold in Boston, and page 142 briefly documents Henry Morris's three-month travels to Lake Erie and back. Also of note is a list of sergeants for the 2nd guard (page 162), a list of men serving under Andrew Dalrymple (pages 180-183), and an account of the dying words of Captain Bartman at Albany, age 27, in 1758 (page 179). | ||||||

Major James Fitch (1649â1727), son of Reverend James Fitch and Abigail Whitford
Alice Bradford (c. 1658/63â1745), daughter of Major William Bradford and Alice Richards
James, the son of James Fitch, was born on 2 August 1649 in Saybrook, New London, Connecticut. [1] Major James Fitch died on 10 November 1727 in Canterbury, Windham, Connecticut. He married first Elizabeth Mason in January 1676 in Norwich. [2] Elizabeth was James's stepmother's sister, the daughter of Major John Mason and Ann Peck, and the granddaughter of Reverend Robert Peck. [3] She was born in August 1654 in Saybrook. [3] She died on 8 October 1684 in Norwich, New London. [2] Captain James Fitch married second Mrs. Alice Adams on 8 May 1687 in Norwich. [2]
Alice was the daughter of Major William Bradford and Alice Richards. [4] She was born about 1658/63 in Plymouth. Alice, the wife of Major James Fitch, died on 15 March 1745, age 83, in Canterbury. [1] She married first, as his second wife, Reverend William Adams on 29 March 1680. [4] William was born on 27 May 1650 in Ipswich. [5] He died on 17 August 1685 in Dedham. [4][5] He married first Mary Manning of Cambridge on 21 October 1674. [4][5] Mary, the daughter of William Manning of Cambridge, died on 24 June 1679. [5]
William Adams was the second minister in Dedham. [4]
The inscriptions on James's gravestone and footstone in the Cleaveland Cemetery in Canterbury say: [6]
Here lies the Body of Majr James Fitch Esqr son of ye Revd Mr James Fitch Pastor first of Saybrook then of Norwich He was born at Saybrook 1647, He was very Useful in his Military & in his Magistracy to which he was chosen & Served Successively many years to ye Greate Acceptance & Advantage of His Country: being: A Gentleman of Good Parts & very forward to Promote ye Civil & Religious interests of it.

A person of Rare qualities & Excellent Indowments. An Example of Virtue & Ptrn of piety. She after an exemplary Life Fell Asleep March ye 12 A D [broken] 84 years of her age
Alice's grandmother Welthian Richards left her sixty pounds, apparel and bedding in her will of 3 July 1679. This was far more than Welthian left to any of her many other grandchildren. But, she added a caveat. If Alice married without her consent or the consent of Welthian's executor, Alice was to lose all bequests.
Major James Fitch was one of those admitted to the First Congregational Church in Norwich between 1660 and 1699. Apparently, after committing some infraction, he made a confession and was restored on 9 April 1704. [7]
"His energy, self-reliance and inflexibility of purpose, with his strong sympathies with the cause of the people, would have qualified him in an eminent degree for a popular leader, had it not been for his occasional rashness and the violence of his opposition to men or measures that interfered with the accomplishment of his objects." [8, 3:456â7, editor's comments]
The Winthrop brothers referred to James Fitch as "Black James" and said that he was the leader of "rude fellows of desperate fortune." In his article about Fitch, James N. Poteet calls him a "politician, land speculator, and disturber of the established order in colonial Connecticut." [9]
The History of Windham County says, "In private life, Major Fitch was genial, generous, hospitable, agreeable in manners and conversation, but somewhat over-convivial in his habits, so that he was sometimes compelled to make confessions to the Church, as well as to the State. In spite of censures and occasional suspension from communion, he retained through life his connection with the church of Norwich, though ever ready to do his part in sustaining public worship at Canterbury. The homestead at Peagscomsuck was long a noted business and social centre." [10, 154]
On 29 February 1675, Joshua Uncas, son of Uncas, Sachem of Moheag, made his will, leaving land to James Fitch, Jr. and Joseph Fitch. James Fitch, Assistant, entered the will on 29 April 1684. [11]
Mr. James Fitch of Norwich was propounded for freeman on 13 May 1675. [8]
James was a deputy for Norwich at the May and October courts from 1678 to 1680 and the October court in 1681. [8, 3: 3, 16, 26, 35, 48, 66, 86] He was chosen a commissioner for Norwich for the ensuing year at the May courts from 1678 to 1680. [8, 3: 5, 26, 49] He was nominated to stand for election for assistant at the October courts in 1678 and 1679. [8, 3: 23, 37]
In 1679 the New London court ruled that Uncas and his son Owaneco should transfer 600 acres in compensation for damage caused by their men in a drunken outbreak. In October, the General Court ruled that Jamesâthe county treasurerâshould sell the land. He sold it to John, Solomon and Daniel Tracy, and Richard Bushnell. [10]
Mr. James Fitch, Jr. was appointed to a committee to compensate Indians for damaged corn on 9 October 1679. The same court granted him liberty to use a 200-acre farm south of John Tracy's, given to him by Uncas and Owaneco. [8, 3: 43â44]
In May 1680, James was confirmed as the captain of the Norwich trainband. [8, 3: 60] James was confirmed Sergeant Major New London county in October 1696, a position he was formerly appointed to by the governor and the council. The four Connecticut sergeant majors were declared majors in October 1697. [8, 4: 189, 226]
James was appointed to a committee to audit colony accounts at the October 1680, May 1682, May 1683, October 1690, and October 1692 courts. [8, 3: 72, 102, 120; 4: 37, 79]
It appears that land was granted somewhat haphazardly in Connecticut, leading to frequent arguments, and many of these involved misunderstandings with the Indians. In May 1680, James was appointed to a committee to hear about differences with the Indians and between them. [8, 3: 52] In October 1680, he was on a committee to settle the boundary between New London and the Mohegans. [8, 3: 71] In May 1681, Captain James Fitch was appointed to a committee to go about with Uncas, sachem of Moheag, and ascertain what lands he thinks are his. [8, 3:81] In May 1683, he was appointed to a committee to procure land for the Pequots in Stonington; its success was reported at the October 1683 court. [8, 3: 117, 125]
In 1680 and 1684, James persuaded Owaneco, the son of Uncas, to accept him as his guardian and vest in him the title to the Quinebaug country: a swathe of land encompassing more than one million acres. Unfortunately for James, the father of the Winthrop brothersâGovernor John Winthrop, Jr.âhad also acquired a claim from a different chieftain. The long battle for control of the Quinebaug, which James ultimately lost, is described by James Poteet in his article, "More Yankee Than Puritan: James Fitch of Connecticut." [9]
"The double land claim occasioned much confusion. The Fitch and Winthrop adherents were at open war with each other. Major Fitch was especially careless as to the character of his tenants and had great difficulty in collecting rents from them. The first existing records relating to the Quinebaug Plantation tell of opposition, violence, resistance to authority and other high-handed misdemeanors." [10, 107]
Captain James Fitch was an assistant at the May courts in 1681 to 1691 and the October courts in 1682, 1683, 1686 , 1687, 1689 and 1690. He was an assistant at both the May and October courts from 1692 to 1697 and 1700 to 1704 and at the May court in 1705 to 1708. [8, vols. 3, 4]
On 24 June 1684, James procured a deed from Owaneco (also signed by his son and heir Josiah and further confirmed by a quitclaim from some Shawtucket Indians who had lived there) to a large tract of land. The parcel was north of Norwich [Windham], joining it from the Waramanticut River to Abaquage pond. From the pond, the line ran east to the Quinebaug River. From the Waramanticut River, the line ran about 45 miles to the southwest boundary, a great pond called Misshinaps. From there, it ran north to and beyond the Massachusetts border, containing the Nipmug and Wabaquassuck countries. In May 1686, the court noted that Captain James Fitch had purchased the native right to Wabaquassett country and settlers from Roxbury wanted to settle there, which the court granted. A patent was issued to James Fitch and several others on 8 July for the new plantation in Wabaquassett country. The bounds comprise current-day Pomfret and northern Brooklyn. [8, 3: 202]
On 13 June 1689âduring Jacob Leisler's administrationâCaptain James Fitch and Major Nathan Gold were ordered to New York to meet with Leisler. They arrived on 21 June. [8, 3: 255]
In October 1690, the court granted James that his former grant of 1,000 acres should be 1,500 acres near the northeast corner of the colony line. [8, 4: 40]
In 1691 and 1692, James wrote and published two pamphlets, A Plain Short Discourse and A Little of the Much, justifying the resumption of a charter government. In 1859 they were not known to exist. James's purchase of the Waquasset and Nipmug country and other large tracts in New London and Windham County made him one of the largest landowners in the colony. It increased his interest in ousting Andros, who did not respect Indian titles and deeds. [8, 3: 456, editor's comments]
On 6 March 1692/3 the court voted that a company should join with Massachusetts in an expedition against the enemy to the east. It was decided to send 30 Indians with them and James was one of three people charged with picking a man to lead them. [8, 4: 90]
On 1 June 1693, John Tracy of Norwichâby an appeal from a court on 20 September 1692âsued Captain James Fitch of Norwalk for refusing to give him a deed for one-tenth of his land in Wabaquasett and Nipmuck contrary to an agreement of 15 February 1685. He asked for the deed and damages of 100 pounds. The previous jury had found for Fitch; this court found for Tracy and ordered Fitch to produce the deed and pay 49 shillings in costs. [12] On 12 October 1693, upon a petition by John Tracy, the general court ordered that a deed be prepared for Fitch to sign, and if he refused, he must appear before the general court in May. [8, 4: 109]
The October 1693 court said it was concerned about growing disputes over land differences between the Indians, namely Owaneco and Abimileck, differences in which [James's first wife's brother] Captain Samuel Mason and Captain James Fitch were engaged, and other disputes as well. It directed Governor Colonel John Allyn and Mr. Nathaniel Stanley to go to Norwich to ascertain the situation and report to the court. [8, 4: 108]
At the October 1696 court, Colonel Allin, Major Fitch, and Major Sellick were appointed to revise the law on the valuation of money and advise the court. Colonel Allin, Major Fitch, and the secretary were appointed to revise colony's laws. [8, 4: 189]
The May 1697 court put James and Captain Witherell in charge of repairing the fort at New London. [8, 4: 213]
In January 1697/8, James was appointed to a committee to meet with the Rhode Islanders and agree the boundary between Rhode Island and Connecticut. [8, 4: 238]
In 1697 James moved to Canterbury. By then, his fortunes were suffering; his enormous land dealings incited jealousy and lawsuits. He was charged with various maladministrations. [10]
"The social position of Major Fitch and his wide business relations, drew many people around him, and his plantation at once became a place of no small consequenceâa rendezvous for land traders, civil and military officials and hordes of idle Indians. Here courts were held, military expeditions organized, and many thousand acres of land bartered away." [13, 483]
At the May 1698 court, Major General Fitz John Winthrop was elected governor, and James was not elected an assistant. Captain Samuel Mason replaced James on the committee to meet with the Rhode Islanders. [8, 4: 244, 259]
In October 1699, Fitz John Winthrop, Jr. of New London, Esq. and Waitstill Winthrop of Boston, Esq. appeared in court to appeal a 19 September 1699 County Court decision. They claimed Major James Fitch of Pigscomsuck in the County of New London had illegally entered the Quinebaug on 6 April 1696, which they owned, and began occupying and improving the land. The Winthrops had claimed 500 pounds in damages, but the jury found for Fitch. The jury in the appeal found for the plaintiffs and awarded them £5-19-10 in damages. Fitch appealed in May 1700. [12]
In October 1699, attorneys for the country constituted by the governor and the council brought complaint against Fitch for the illegal purchase of a "great tract" of Owaneco's land in the Nipmug and Wabaquassett country. [8, 4: 305]
On 13 November 1699, James, Joseph Spalding, Richard Adams, Joshua Whitney, Benjamin Spalding and James Kingsbury signed a petition to incorporate Plainfield and hire a minister. [10]
In May 1700, after being left out for two years, James was elected an assistant again.
In October 1701, the deputy governor and the council ordered a writ against Fitch, ordering him to appear before the General Assembly in May to answer John Gallop's complaint of maladministration. [8, 4: 368] On 4 November 1701, James Fitch was the plaintiff in a defamation suit against Mr. John Gallup of Stonington. The court found for him, Mr. Gallup was assessed costs of £2-09-06. [12]
In May 1702, John Fellows, Ebenezer Harris, and John Gallup, Jr. complained that they had cleared, planted, and brought nearly to harvest crops on land in Plainfield. James had forced them off, arrested and imprisoned themâextorting a considerable amount of money for their release. The court ruled that James's conduct was "very erroneous and illegal" and he was liable for the complainants' losses. [8, 4: 391]
On 24 December 1702, James signed an agreement for two religious societies in Plainfield. James and Richard Adams were two of the east side signers; Joseph and Benjamin Spalding, Jacob Warren, Stephen Hall, and Joshua Whitney were some of the west side signers. [10]

"Major Fitch, during these years was unquestionably the leading citizen of Canterbury, though his pretensions and exactions involved him in frequent quarrels with his fellow-townsmen. In public affairs he was still very prominent, though often in collision with the government and its officials." [10]
James Fitch claimed the land that is now Stafford by Indian title. This was disputed by the governor and and Fitch responded with, "As to a kind of proclamation lately come forth from the Honourable Governour and Council, in February last, I had thought to have taken it to pieces, and I think I could have done it and cut it in as many pieces as the protestant did the popish woden god. ... God save the King, and the Colony of Connecticut from self defining and self seeking men." Fitch was confronted in the General Assembly, and in May 1717, he made a written acknowledgment of his bad behaviour towards his Honor the Governor, asked for a pardon and promised to behave better. The Upper House wished to punish him, but he was discharged. [8, 5:586]

First, a bit of history. The Joseph Fitch Homestead, formerly at 27A Carlisle Road, was located within Governor John Winthrop’s 1638 land grant. Job Lane1 had acquired the Winthrop land grant in 1664, and upon his death a quarter was deeded to his grandson, Samuel Fitch3. Samuel’s share was a parcel on the north end, where he settled when he married in 1695, and about 280 acres on the south end of the Winthrop Farm along the Old Concord Line (running west from Willson Park). When the town was incorporated in 1729, he became Bedford’s first Town Clerk.
His oldest son, Joseph (1702-1769), was a house-wright. He built Bedford’s First Meetinghouse (1729) and probably Domine Manse (ca.1733). Joseph is also believed to have built the sawmill on Peppergrass Brook on his father’s land, which provided lumber for the buildings constructed in Bedford Center around the time of the town’s incorporation. The southern end of North Road that connected between Fitch Tavern on The Great Road and Job Lane’s homestead (site is now 130 North Road) was built in 1734 and ran through Samuel Fitch’s land, opening it up to development.
Joseph Fitch4 married in 1731 and was believed by A.E. Brown in his History of Bedford to have built the house and barn at 27A Carlisle Road at that time for his own family. The east end of Carlisle Road was simply a cart path to the homestead until the 1790s when the road to Carlisle was built. After the death of his 1st wife, Joseph remarried in 1750, and he and his 2 wife left the homestead and moved to Davis Road. After Joseph Fitch’s departure in 1750, Deacon Job Lane3 acquired the Fitch homestead as part of his farm at “the Neck” (so called) near Old Causeway Road, but he continued to live in his own homestead at 295 North Road (now the town-owned farm museum). The Fitch homestead then remained in the Lane family for over 100 years. His oldest son, Job Lane4 married in 1747, and he became owner of the homestead. Job4 marched to Concord on April 19, 1775; he was seriously wounded and lost a leg. Job Lane4 had 2 sons. The second son, Luke5, inherited the property when his father Job4 died in 1796. Job4 had remarried in 1777 after his 1st wife died, and they had one daughter , Fanny Lane5, who was born in 1781 (almost 13 years after Luke).
Luke Lane5 married in 1791 but died of “a fever” in 1801 at age 33, leaving his widow with four children all under 10 years old at the homestead. His young half-sister Fanny may have helped with their upbringing, and she later acquired the property. She lived at the homestead until her death in 1827. Upon Fanny Lane’s death, a cousin Eliab Bridge Lane6 (1780-1853) purchased the homestead and land at public auction. In 1833 he added an abutting one-acre triangular parcel at the intersection of Carlisle Road and North Road (now the Northside service station).
Following Eliab B. Lane’s death in 1853, the homestead was sold by his heirs to J. Quincy Blake. Mr. Blake’s occupation as a jeweler and his status as a “gentleman” suggest that he was a man of considerable means and probably built the addition on the rear of the homestead. In 1862 he sold the property, and it was acquired by William Farrell (1810-1905). The Farrells lived there and farmed for decades until his death in 1905. One of their daughters, Lucy, married J. Bartlett Prescott, who started J.B. Prescott Dairy (later Bedford Farms Dairy) in the late 1880s. The dairy probably used part of the property for its operations.
In 1906 the property was bought by Sarah G. & Luther A. Ford, who lived there until 1918. It was then acquired by Stephan Kazarian, a weaver, and his brother, who split the property between the portions north and south of Carlisle Road. The first generation lived in the homestead, but it was vacant by mid-20th Century.
In the early 1980s Ned Leeming and his wife Susan wanted to restore an antique house, and in searching they discovered and fell in love with this house. They had it disassembled and moved to Harvard, MA, where it was painstakingly restored. In the process of carefully disassembling the house to relocate it, many treasures from everyday life in the house have come to light. From them, we can imagine what life might have been like over many generations.
Sections of tongue and groove, hand-planed panels taken from interior walls are still covered with wallpaper remnants, most with scrolling flower patterns that provide a glimpse of what must have been bright, cheery rooms. Glass canning jar lids, shards of pottery and china, along with an ancient wooden-handled knife and fork, are remnants of the many family meals served in the house over the years. Dozens of buttons that had slipped beneath the floorboards, along with belt buckles, beads and a broken pince-nez pair of glasses, provide more personal clues to the house’s inhabitants. A pair of 18th Century work shoes, along with a small child’s boot found inside the walls reveal an ancient superstition; these shoes were placed inside the walls during construction in order to ward off bad luck and evil spirits for the house and its occupants. Given that this home has survived almost three centuries, including its rescue by the Leemings, perhaps those occupants who left those shoes did manage to bring luck to the old homestead? Not only is the home enjoying a second life in an orchard in Harvard, but these small treasures, now available for viewing here at the Society, are preserving an enchanting glimpse of the families that called it home through the years. | |||||
