Sarah Boardman (q.v. Boreman), dau. of Samuel Boreman and Mary Betts, b. of record Mar. 4, 1654/5 at Wethersfield, Conn. She was living at Wethersfield on Apr. 9, 1717 when the estate of her deceased husband was distributed to her, to her step-dau Abigail (Fitch) Kimberly, and her own children son Samuel and Sibell (Fitch) Hurlbut.

On an unrecorded date after Nov. 1684 probably at Wethersfield, Sarah m. as his 2nd wife, Thomas Fitch, s. of Samuel Fitch and Susanna Wiggin, latter the former wife of Maj. William Whiting of Hartford, Conn. Thomas was b. circa 1653 probably at Hartford and d. intestate Oct. 18, 1704 at Wethersfield, Æ 52.

Thomas Fitch m. 1) of record Sept. 15, 1680 at Wethersfield, Abigail Goodrich, dau. of Ens. William Goodrich and Sarah Marvin, b. at Wethersfield June 5, 1662. Abigail d. of record Nov. 8, 1684 at Wethersfield, Æ 23. They had the following three children at Wethersfield:

• i. Thomas Fitch, Jr. b. July 20, 1681; died in infancy.

• ii. Abigail Fitch, b. circa 1682, was living at Newtown, Conn. in 1728 when her husband's estate was probated; m. of record May 11, 1696 at Stratford, Conn., Abraham Kimberly, Jr., b. Mar. 4, 1674/5 at Albemarle County, in modern South Carolina. Nine children of the family. Stiles' 1902 "Ancient Wethersfield" followed by later writers assigned Abigail as the dau. of her father's 2nd wife Sarah Fitch, an obvious error. If the latter were true, that Thomas Fitch's 1st wife d. of record in Nov. 1684 would mean that dau. Abigail could not have been born prior to late 1685, then marrying Abraham Kimberly of record in 1696 when barely 11 years of age. That Abigail (Fitch) Kimberly was a very young bride is also obvious, but not at age 11.

• iii. Sibell Fitch, b. Nov. 2, 1684, d. in infancy Dec. 18, 1684.

Sarah Boardman and Thomas Fitch had the following three children at Wethersfield:

• i. Sibell Fitch, b. circa 1686 assuming she was 18 years of age when she married, d. at Newington, Conn. before Nov. 30, 1747; m. Apr. 27, 1704 at Wethersfield (by James Treat, JP), Joseph Hurlbut, s. of Stephen and Phebe Hurlbut, b. July 10, 1683 at Wethersfield. He d. at Newington, Conn. June 24, 1752, Æ 69 (g.s.) Ten children of the family.

• ii. Samuel Fitch, whose birth is not of record; was living on Sept. 7, 1713 as a minor (under age 21) when William Whiting of Hartford was appointed his guardian. He was living Apr. 9, 1717 when included in the distribution of his father's estate, but no further record has been found regarding him.

• iii. Martha Fitch, b. prior to 1694 assuming she was at least of age (18) at death, d. of record at Wethersfield Feb. 2, 1712/3. Her estate was inventoried Sept. 3, 1713 with administration of Martha, "a single woman," granted Sept. 7, 1713 to her mother, Sarah Fitch.

• Death: 1658/1659, of, Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut

Notes:

Susannah/Mary was previously married to William Whiting-they lived in Hartford, CT and had several children before his death. Susannah and Samuel married in Hartford where Samuel taught school 1650-1653. "Parents were required to provide 'either a little load of wood or three shillings toward procuring it". He was also a representative to the General Court in 1654 and 1655.
After Samuel's death after only nine years of marriage, Susannah married again, to Alexander Bryan and lived in Milford, CT. She died at the home of a daughter.

There was a Samuel Fitch who was in Milford, CT in 1644, but he supposidly moved to Norwalk, CT. The Samuel, son of Thomas of Bocking, was born in 1626- far too young to be married to Susanna.

Notes:

Will: 27 Nov 1654
I Joseph Mygatt of Hartford do make this my last Will & Testament : Whereas, in a Writing bearing date 27 November, 1654, I have already engaged the manner of a dispose of my Estate after my Death, I do now for the substance thereof fully consent thereunto, only some things mentioned needing some explication I thought good to mention, 1st, that I have already paid the marriage portion for my son Jacob as is expressed in the Agreement, & have built a house for him of more value than was promised, & have truly fulfilled that first particularly.

2nd, Whereas it is mentioned in the Agreement with Mrs. Susannah Fitch, & the Trustees

On page 7 of this work the Judge states that he purchased in London a deed which has been preserved among the papers of the descendants of WilHam Penn. This deed is printed on pages 8 to 10 of the Bryan pamphlet. This document dated July 20, 1663, is a conveyance from Richard Bryan of Milford in New England and his father Alexander Bryan also of Milford to Edward Baldwyn of Beconsfield in the county of Bucks in consideration of i 40 "All those twoe messuages or tenements and garden with all the outhouses " appurten nts thereunto belonging situate lying " being in the North Streete of Wendover, in the said county of Bucks, and now or late in the occupation of the widow Ovyatt (?) or her underten nt or underten nts which said messuage or tennements were given to Anne Bryan, mother of the said Richard Bryan deceased, " to the said Richard Bryan " their heires by the last will " testament of Richard Baldwyn of Dundridge, in the said County of Buck, deceased." From these documents it will be seen that Anne wife of Alexander Bryan, the emigrant and head of the Bryan family of Milford, was daughter of Robert Baldwin of the Baldwin family of Buckingham County, England. "Anne Briant" was admitted to full communion in the Milford Church, August 23, 1640. The record also states that she died February 20, 1661.

There is no record of this marriage, but it probably took place soon after June 27, 1662, when "M"" Allexand"^ Briant and M" Susannah ffitch" signed an agreement transferring to the children of her first husband William Whiting, certain property that had been in her possession as his widow and administratrix, and requested the court to appoint new administrators on the estate.-^

ALEXANDER BRYAN
"Old M''^ Bryan, M^ Whitings mother, died at Middleton Sabath day was seven night, where she was buried the Tuesday following: had not beene sick above a weeke.""*

Alexander Bryan made his will April 24, 1679 and July 22 following he made a codicil thereto. In the document he referred to himself as being weak of body. To his grandson Alexander Bryan he gave " 500 in addition to what he had already received. The house and home-lot where the testator then dwelt were to be considered a part of the i 500. He also gave him the old warehouse and one-half of the pasture land in Milford. These bequests including all previous payments were to be appraised and the value thereof in excess of i 500 was to be paid by the legatee to Samuel Bryan, another grandson of the testator. Alexander Bryan, child of the testator's grandson, Alexander, was given all the interest in the house and land at Eaton's Neck, Long Island, of which he was to come into possession when he became nineteen years old.

Hannah Harriman, grandchild of the testator, was given i 40, part of which she had already received.

The testator had previously given to his granddaughter Sarah Fitch, i 40 in a house which the testator had bought of Samuel Baldwin's widow. "My son in law Samuel Fitch" was directed to pay to the testator's grandson, Samuel Bryan, the amount due for the rest of the said house and lot.

Said Samuel Bryan was also given the testator's house and land in Milford opposite his son Richard's dwelling house, also the new warehouse and land at Indian Side, formerly belonging to Samuel Baldwin.

To his grandson, Richard Bryan Junior, he gave a house and home-lot bought of Samuel Eells, said Richard to come into possession thereof at the age of nineteen years.

If Richard should die under that age, the property was to go to the executor. The three grandchildren, Richard Bryan, Frances Bryan and Abigail Bryan, were given the household goods, plate, brass, pewter and all moveable goods in equal shares. If either child should die before coming of age or unmarried, the share of such child was to go to the survivors.

Anna Reeve was born about 1590 in Garret Manor, Bocking, Essex, England. Her parents were John REEVE and Mary BROCK. Other info shows her birth in 1593 in Gosfield, Essex, England. Son James and maybe John too must have approached their mother, 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. Anna died on 20 Jan 1667/68 in Norwalk, CT

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.

Ancestry

Thomas’ grandparents were Roger FITCH & Margery [__?__] Roger, will 12 Jan. 1558/59; d. Panfield, Essex; will proved Consistory Court, London 22 Feb. 1558/59; m. Margery[__?__]. Admitted tenant of Hartshede, his mother’s lands in Lindsell, 25 Sep 153

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 and Agnes Fitch are commemorated in a stained glass window at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Lindsell, Essex, England (Don't tell anyone this might be Thomas' son William)

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.


Thomas & Agnes Fytch

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,


Fytch Sons

while the five daughters (about 4 1/2 inches in height) are placed beneath their mother.


Fytch Daughters

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.


Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Lindsell, Essex

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.”

Anna’s great grandparents were John BROCK & Agnes WISEMAN
Anna’s grandparents were William BROCK & Margery BEDELL

Interestingly enough, Thomas Fitch, Sr.’s great-great grandson–the brother of Sarah Fitch King (see above)–was John Fitch, inventor of the steamboat. He is commemorated in a fresco at the U. S. Capitol:

I am also a descendent of the Fitch Family. Mary Fitch married Thomas Sherwood in 1635. I am trying to piece together dates of the de Montifitchet. Your list is inspiring and any info on birth/death records to help put it all together would be wonderful.

Must be part of this family as he came from Windsor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fitch_(inventor)

John Fitch (January 21, 1743 – July 2, 1798) was an American inventor, clockmaker, entrepreneur and engineer. He was most famous for constructing the first steamboat in the United States.

Fitch was born to Joseph Fitch and Sarah Shaler in Windsor, Connecticut on January 21, 1743, on a farm that is part of present-day South Windsor, Connecticut. He received little formal schooling and eventually apprenticed himself to a clockmaker, during time Fitch was not allowed to learn or even observe watchmaking (he later taught himself how to repair clocks and watches). He married Lucy Roberts December 29, 1767.

John Fitch is my sixth great uncle. I’m a descendant of his sister, Sarah, and her husband, Timothy King, my fifth great grandparents, with whom he was particularly close. Just now I’m in process of completing a new symphonic work based on his autobiography and other writings. My period-style overture in his honor was just premiered in Seattle (Maple Park Church, Saturday, July 27, 2013). A recent book in which his contribution as the inventor of the world’s first commercial steamboat is documented is Andrea Sutcliffe’s *Steam: The Untold Story of America’s First Great Invention* (New York and Hampshire, UK: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004).

The Fitch line has been particularly well researched and can be traced with reasonable confidence back to the fifteenth century. John Fitch himself discusses what he knew about his pedigree early in his autobiography (out of print, but available through interlibrary loan). :-) His nephew, Roswell King, Sr. (son of Timothy and Sarah), also born in Connecticut, founded the city of Roswell, Georgia, and was a significant but controversial figure in the antebellum history of that state.

A conceptual fresco of John Fitch can be seen in the United States Capitol, Brumidi Corridor (included in the video at the first link and shown at the second link below):

Thank you SOOOOO much for this information… I am finally getting around to doing a family tree for our “Fitch” line of the family (Fitch being my maiden name) and am so excited for what I am finding… My grandfather Alger Morton Fitch Jr. just passed away this last June, and with my Father being the last of our Fitch line (because he had for girls :0) ) I want to find out as much as I can about our heritage and share it with him :0) … If my research is correct then this Thomas FItch is my 10th Great Grandfather :0)

I have read many places that there used to be a castle in Britain that belonged to the Fitch family. This was somewhere around the time when the American side of the Fitch family left Britain. With this supposed information there was a very large sum of money that was supposed to be owed to the Fitch family (the sum was in the millions of pounds back then, which today would be an almost astronomically value). Yet no one has been able to prove lineage back to our ancestors. It has always been a goal of mine to find a way to prove this. If this is true would be a great feat. It seems that many of our ancestors were men of power. I made this goal when I was about 14 yrs old to my father. Even if our family were not entitled to money I feel that our family has been significant to American history, British history and the worlds history. With this information the contributions our family has made to human race is astounding and should never be forgotten.

Hello, David Fitch:

I’m keenly interested in the Fitch family. Sarah Fitch (1737–1785) was my fifth great grandmother and the wife of Timothy King, my fifth great grandfather. The Fitch family has been reliably traced back to William Fytche, who lived during the early fifteenth century. Her brother, John Fitch, was a brilliant inventor who pioneered steamboat technology in America, and he was particularly close to Sarah and Timothy (1727–1812). His autobiography gives details about the family’s history as he understood it, and though out of print, can be acquired through interlibrary loan. It also reveals how John Fitch himself was terribly mistreated, not only by certain members of his own family but by some of America’s “Founding Fathers,” including Jefferson and Franklin, whom he met in person in connection with his steamboat projects. Fitch’s steamboat was the very first commercial vehicle of its kind, but was so far ahead of its time that Robert Fulton only later capitalized on some of “Uncle John’s” ideas, garnering most of the glory.

In addition to John, Sarah Fitch had two other brothers: Joseph and Augustus. Are you descended from any of these?

Best,

Joe

The story as I have it is the name comes from Montfichet family from Stansted Mountfitchet in Essex, who occupied the tower in the 12th century. The tower is now just a small pile of stones but there is a Theme park where it once stood, I have informed them that the Fikes’ are rallying to come across the pond and reclaim our ancestral home.
Montfitch – Mount Fitch – Montfitchet – Fitch – Fytche- Fycche – Fikes (there were sons named Fitch and Fikes in the same family in America.)

Hello, Bill.

I haven’t confirmed any connection between “Fitch” and its variants and “Montfichet,” which is French in origin. According to the John Fitch, my sixth great uncle, the “Fitch” line can be traced to Saxony (Northern Germany).and [later] to Essex, England. Below are links to several pages from his autobiography that discuss the Fitch line:







“Brantree,” to which he refers on p. 20, is actually “Braintree.”

My Fitch line, through my fifth great grandmother, Sarah Fitch King, is shown below without dates, since I’ve noticed some inconsistencies and don’t want to spread inaccurate information. Suffice it to say William Fytche was born around 1400 and Sarah died in 1785.

William Fytche (b. ca. 1400)

John Fytche

Thomas Fitche

Roger Fitche

George Fitch

Thomas Fitch, Sr.

Joseph Fitch, I

Joseph Fitch, II

Joseph Fitch, III

Sarah Ann Fitch King (d. 1785), sister of John Fitch (links to several pages of his autobiography above)

A useful link for information about the first few names on my list above:

http://www.baronage.co.uk/bphtm-01/fitch-1.html

The web site geni dot com takes the line back to “Montfichet,” but I tend to be skeptical absent stronger documentation. I think the line back to William Fytche, however, is pretty well established.

As time permits, I’ll continue to refine the data I have on hand, because, as mentioned, there are some significant inconsistencies in the dates I have. I’ll try to post relevant updates here, at geni dot com and at ancestry dot com.

Cordially,

Joe
