English Ancestors of the
Fitches of Colonial Connecticut
"A superb account of the English ancestry of the Connecticut family This work is beautifully produced, with many appropriate illustrations." -- The American Genealogist
"The real strength of this book is its depiction of these individuals as actual people in their proper historical, geographic, and social context....Those descended from the four immigrants should find it truly fascinating."-- National Genealogical Society Quarterly
Not since Roscoe Conkling Fitch wrote his History of the Fitch Family in 1930 has anyone published an authoritative account of the antecedents of the four Fitch brothers who came to America from county Essex, England in the 1600s. Now you can read the unembellished true story of the English Ancestors of the Fitches of Colonial Connecticut in a new Fitch Family History by prize-winning author John T. Fitch.
First published in 1990, the book was critically acclaimed and quickly sold out! The current edition contains many corrections, much new information, and several new illustrations.
