Notable Fitch Connections

New England Historic Genealogical Society

Gary Boyd Roberts, Senior Research Scholar and Special Assistant to the Executive Director of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, writes a frequent column for the NEHGS publication Nexus, called "Notable Kin." These columns provide the ancestry for many well known statesmen, industrialists, artists, and others. During his research, Mr. Roberts has come across several interesting Fitch connections, most of whom (usually because they descend from Fitch daughter lines) are not included in "Descendants of Rev. James Fitch." He has kindly made these descendancies available for this web page. In each case, we begin with the last numbered person included in the genealogy.
