Excerpt from Genealogy of the Fitch Family: In North America The principal object of this volume is to exhibit the genealogy of that branch of the Fitch family, who are descended from Thaddeus Fitch, formerly of Vernon, Connecticut. A large number of the Fitch Family, residing in Northern Ohio, hold a family reunion annually, and are organized for that purpose under the name of the "Fitch Association." Through the efforts of the Association, the complete genealogical record of the family was obtained and the purpose of this volume is to preserve and perpetuate such record. In the preparation of the work, our thanks are due to Hon. J. S. T. Stranahan, from whose book entitled "Genealogies Stranahan, Josselyn, Fitch and Dow," we have drawn much of our information of the earlier generations of the family; to Mr. E. F. Tagger, of Windham, O., Mrs. Rachael Bradford, of Uncassville, Conn., Mr. A. Judd, of Hartford, Conn., for valuable informations; and also to Mr. M. W. Fitch, of Oakland, Cal., whose patient researches have enabled us to complete the family record. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
