NORWALK.

Norwalk settlers Home-lot XI, which had for its early possessors Richard Seymour and James Rogers 3d., a Rogers-Seymour mention.

Joseph Lockwood 3d., son of Joseph 2d. and Rebecca Rogers Lockwood, and grand- son of Joseph Lockwood Ist., who was son of Ephraim, the Norwalk Lockwood settler, was born Oct. 2, 1778, and took to wife, Rebecca, born June 7, 1781, daughter of James Ist. and Rebecca (Keeler) Seymour. The fruit of this union was :

William ; born June 29, 1801. Harriet ; born May 6, 1804. James ; born Sept. 19, 1806. Rebecca Frances; born Jan. 23, 1821.

It should be recalled that the Rebecca Rogers Lockwood descendants are not, at least as far as is now known, from James Rogers 3d., but from the Long Island Rogers family branch.

Upon this subject the able words of the departed Dr. Benjamin W. Dwight of Clinton, Oneida County, New York, as appeared in an 1884 article in the N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record, will here bear repetition. "Investigators into its (the Norwalk James Rogers 3d. family) supposed early continental history have quite uniformly gone astray in conceiving at the outset, that this family of Rogers was of Long Island origin (as of Hunt- ington, Southampton, or Hempstead.) Many have persistently followed up what stray hints they could find as guesses, which are often the first immature form of what prove in the end to be real discoveries, or at least very valuable theories; but never has one of them found any real satisfaction in his researches in any such direction, or any increase of light at all as he has moved onward in any particular line of exploration. Said one who had been specially diligent in such a way to the writer, after a long experience of continued disappointment : . I have always expected that Providence would help me some day to get that Huntington-Rogers family record, and I have not yet lost hope that I shall get it, somewhere, somehow!' Behold, my good friend, the desired day has at last come to you ! Take freely the light here offered : it has cost much painstaking patience to procure it. Seek resolutely what further light you crave, from the same quarters whence this has reached you. No one can find gold by digging, however long or hopefully, in earth that does not contain it, or arrive at any desired destination by travelling, with whatever eager- ness, in ' paths that lead only to bewilder, and dazzle only to blind.'"

The day may come when the relation of Jas. Rogers Ist. of New London and Jas. 3d. of Norwalk to the Long Island Rogers and of both households to John Rogers of Smithfield will be document-determined. The descent of Rebecca Rogers, whom Rev. Ebenezer Prime, on March 10, 1737. married to Joseph Lockwood of Norwalk has been ascertained and elsewhere appears, and like success may reward research in the "martyr" direction. Be this as it may, however, early Norwalk Home-lot XI. is a genealogy-shrine.

HOME-LOT XIIE THOMAS FITCH, SENIOR.

THE -GOFERVOR FITCH TREE." ( From a photograph made during the rerem " beetle-devastation " of the Norwalk elms.)

The Fitch family emigrated from Bocking, Essex County, England. "John Fitch, who was living at Fitch Castle" (parish of Widdington.) Essex County, is mentioned as early as 1294.

Thomas Fitch, Sr.3 and settler, son of Thomas Fitch of Bocking, Essex County,

"It belonged originally to Edward Church, of whom but little seems to have been ascertained.

"This tree, set out it is believed by Gov, Thomas Fitch, and now, with the exception of a section of its barkless trunk, entirely a thing of the past, was one of the finest specimens of its species in Norwalk. It was denominated the Norwalk "King of Elms," its partner, the Norwalk "Queen of Elms," being the Main Street McClure tree (opposite the Sherman House, corner of Main and Cross Streets) which was, at first, transplanted from Cranberry Plains by Jacob Jennings ist. Beneath the Gov. Fitch tree stood the home of that official. The rear of the existing East Avenue Gov. Fitch house is considered to have once been a sort of Fitch "adjunct" which escaped Tryon's faggots and was incorporated as a part of the post- revolutionary Fitch home. The governor's well is pointed out to-day. At its side stood, for many years, the governor's " chair " which piece of furniture has, in some way, been lost.

The Norwalk elms have been one of the beauties of this ancient town. In addition to the elms " King and Queen" (Fitch and Jennings) elms, others of the same variety call for notice. Josiah Hanford Fitch chose from the woods the several fine elms which, from 1816 have, until recently, sentineled the Moody resi- dence on East Avenue. The elin on " The Green,"

at the north-west corner of the " old meeting house," (removed in 1849) beneath which stood the alighting rock upon which Miss Phobe Comstock and other worthies from a distance stepped from their saddles or vehicles to engage in public worship, was one of the most shapely of all the Norwalk family, Rev. Dr. John Bowden planted the majestic monarchs which until a short period past have made the rectory" grounds of St. Paul's Church one of the most attract. ive parsonage-properties in the State. Dr. Jonathan Knight set out the elm row near the Peter Guigue floral enclosure of 1896. The grand Hezekiah Jarvis, Noah Barnum, Eliphalet Lockwood, John Wasson (afterward W K. James), Benj. Isaacs, Mrs. Eliza Selleck, Henry Belden, William Johnson, Samuel Cannon, John Cannon, Wm. St. John, Jona, Camp, Goold Hoyt. Ebenezer Church, Ebenezer(Czar) Hyatt, (town children's home 1896) Jonathan Fitch, Samuel Marvin, James Benedict (now Mathews) and the sim- ply magnificent Prospect, Flax and Roton Hills elms will never, it is probable, have their peers. The loss, in late years, by the elm beetle is irreparable, but it behooves the present generation to imitate its fathers and provide, by replacing the old, for the future adornment of this, of yore, truly tree-lovely township.

NORWALK.

England, arrived with his widowed mother' in 1635-38 in America and was in Norwalk certainly in 1652, perhaps before. The earliest date affixed to any English Norwalk deed stands attached to a Thomas Fitch, Sr. grant in 1652. He came, it may be inferred, from the vicinity of Hartford, and accompanied by his brother Joseph.2 As appears from his will he had a number of children, but none, perhaps of Norwalk birth. He does not seem to have had a permanent house-lot in Norwalk until he purchased, in 1654, the same from Edward Church. His children were Thomas2.1., John "t., Mary,3 Ann (Mrs. John Thomp- son of Farmington), Sarah (Mrs. John Burr of Fairfield), and, some one supposes, Samuel of Hartford, who did not come to Norwalk. Thomas Fitch 1st. died in 1704.

Thomas Fitch2d., son of Thomas 's"., and made free by order of General Court, May 21, 1657, married about 1662, Ruth, daughter of "farmer" George Clark of Milford, and had :

Sarah, born 1663. Thomas 3d., born 1665. Mary, born 1668.

Samuel, born 1681. No Norwalk appearance.

There is here a possible error of ten years; but if the date is correct there must have been a birth (followed possibly by death) between Mary and Samuel, as Thomas Fitch 2d. reports as having, in 1672, four children.

John Fitch"t., son of Thomas '>t., married Dec. 3, 1664, Rebecca, daughter of Henry and Rosamond Lindall of New Haven, and had :

John 2d .; born Sept. 29, 1677. Rebecca ; born Jan. 15, 1679. Nathaniel ; born Nov. 6, 1682.

Mary; married, Dec. 13, 1711, Ebenezer, son of Thomas and grandson of John .Gregory, Sr.

Mary; born 1643, daughter of Thomas Fitch Ist. married, as his second wife, Capt.

'Claimed to have been Anna Pew, who was mar- ried to Thomas Fitch (father of Thomas ist. of Nor- walk) Aug. 6, 1611 (church record at Bocking, Essex County, England. ) Iler husband, Thomas Fitch, was born .1590 and died about 1632, as his will was proved Feb. 12, 1632.

2Joseph Fitch ist., brother of Thomas Ist. of Nor- walk, remained in Norwalk only a short time. He went, see note, page 40, to Hartford, where he mar- ried Mary, daughter of Rev. Samuel and Elizabeth (Allen) Stone. Sarah, sister of Mrs. Joseph Fitch, married Thomas Butler of Hartford.

It is a matter of genealogical record that Ileze-

kiah Haynes of New England, son by his first wife, of Gov. John Haynes of New England, was a brother- in-law of Joseph Fitch Ist. This fact may help ex- plain the impression on the part of General Grant Fitch (son of Haynes and grandson of James Fitch Ist.) of Gov. Haynes-Fitch affinity. It seems to throw no light upon " Mr. William Haynes" of early Norwalk history who was an ancestor of General Grant Fitch. Mr. Haynes' pedigree is an interesting " study." See Haynes article.

3The will (1678) of Richard Lyon of Fairfield, mentions Mary Fitch (daughter of Thomas ist.) as cousin. (Niece, it should probably read. )

NORWALK.

Matthew, son of Thomas Sherwood of Fairfield. There were six children, but no Norwalk descent from this union. The wife died on Christmas Day, 1730.

Ann, daughter of Thomas Fitch '>t., married John Thompson of Farmington, and had no Norwalk descent.

Sarah, daughter of Thomas Fitch, married John, son of John Burr of Fairfield. There was no Norwalk, but there was noticeable Fairfield descent from this union. John and Sarah (Fitch) Burr's daughter, Sarah, married June 29, 1692, Rev. Charles Chauncey, grandson of President Charles Chauncey, second president of Harvard College, and their son Samuel was for many years Master of the Charlestown, Mass., Grammar School.

The 1650 Hartford Samuel Fitch may possibly have been the brother of Thomas Ist. of Norwalk. He married Susannah, the widow of William Whiting, and had by her Samuel. who went to Milford, and Thomas, born in 1652, who married, in 1680, Abigail, daughter of Ensign William and Sarah Goodrich, which Sarah was a daughter of Matthew and Eliza- beth Marvin of Norwalk. The Thomas and Abigail (Goodrich) Fitch children were :

Thomas ; born July 20, 1680, died young.

Sybil; born Nov. 2, 1684, died an infant of a few weeks.

The children's mother died at the close of 1684.

The widow of Samuel Fitch (Mrs. Whiting) married third, Alexander Bryan of Mil- ford, but well known in early Norwalk, and her son Samuel Fitch married Sarah Bryan, daughter of Richard, who was the son of Alexander Bryan. Samuel and Sarah (Bryan) Fitch had only one child, Sarah, who married Zachariah Whitman, which may account for the introduction of that name into the later family of Samuel and Elizabeth (Platt) Fitch.

Thomas Fitch Ist, makes no mention of his daughter Sarah in his will, neither of any Hartford Fitch relationship or connection. He appointed his son John sole executor, who gave to the children of his deceased sister (Sarah Burr) "as much as his father gave the other children."

The Norwalk Fitch mother (wife of Thomas'st.) is claimed to have been a daughter of Richard Platt Ist .. One sentence in the will of her husband reads thus, "my loving cousin Sergeant John Platt." "Cousin" should here, it is probable, read nephew, but in the ab- sence of documentary evidence, inference should be drawn with caution.

Thomas "st. overlived, by several years, his son Thomas 2 .. The senior Thomas' resi- dence was somewhere near the present Enos Osborn East Avenue home, and Thos. junior's home was originally on the opposite side of the street, a little to the southeast of "Good- man Hoyt's," now Earle's Hill.

Thomas Fitch 2d. bore in early days the title of Sergeant. He died in the prime of life, leaving a widow (who was twice married after his day), and a son not yet out of his teens, who was to be a Governor's father. His widow was the sister of Mrs. Abigail Pierson (wife of the first rector of Yale College), and of Sarah, wife of the renowned Indian fighter,

Reynold Marvin of Lyme. Mrs. Thomas Fitch 2d- married second, Robert l'lum of Milford, and had one child, Robert, who died young, and she married, third, John Wheeler of Wood- bury, in which place she probably died.

After the decease of Deacon Henry Lindall of New Haven, his widow married Na- thaniel Richards, a Norwalk pioneer. She brought four Lindall daughters to her Norwalk home, all of whom here found husbands. John Fitch took her daughter, Rebecca, to wife; John Hoyt took Mary; Ralph Keeler 2d. took Grace, and Joseph Ketchum ">t. took Mercy.

Thomas Fitch 2d. died 1684. His father overlived him about twenty years.

Sarah, oldest child of Thomas-d. and Ruth Fitch, married John Ford of Milford, and had no discovered Norwalk descent.'

Thomas 3d., son of Thomas 2d. and Ruth Fitch, married, first, Sarah ;ª second, Rhoda, 3 and third Rachel, 4 and had by Sarah, first wife :5

Elizabeth ; married first, May 17, 1721, Joshua, son of Samuel, son of John Raymond ">"; married, second, Rev. Elisha Kent, see page 179.

Mary, daughter of Thomas 2d. and Ruth Fitch, married Daniel Terrell of Milford, and had no known Norwalk descent. Samuel, son of Thomas2d. and Ruth Fitch, probably died young.“

A JOHN FITCH DESCENT.

John Fitch "t., son of Thomas"", married Dec. 3, 1674, Rebecca, one of the four daughters of the deceased Deacon Henry Lindall of New Haven. The widow of Henry Lindall married, second, Nathaniel Richards, who was one of the first comers to the new Norwalk settlement. Mrs. Lindall brought with her to the Richards-Lindall home her daughters by her former husband, Mary, Rebecca, Grace and Mercy. All had been bap- tized in New Haven by Rev. John Davenport, on, in their order, the following dates: July 19, 1646, Oct. 20, 1652, April 5, 1656 and Jan. 30, 1658. Young John Fitch lived the very next door to Rebecca's home (near Campbell East Avenue 1896 residence). After marriage he founded his own home and became a settler of importance. His children were :

John 2d .; born Sept. 29, 1677.

IHere is found the Fitch ancestry of the late Nathan G. Pond of Milford.

nIn the Milford records is mention that Mrs.

The father of Gov. Fitch was Thomas 3d.

Rebecca ; born, Jan. 15, 1679. Nathaniel; born, Nov. 6, 1682. Mary ; married, Dec. 13, 1711, Ebenezer Gregory.

Names are not always capriciously assigned. John was a Fitch family name beyond the sea. Rebecca was the first name of Mrs. John FitchIst .. Nathaniel was undoubtedly in honor of Nathaniel Richards (Mrs. John Fitch's step-father), while Mary was the name of an aunt. These children, all, took family names.

John Fitch 2d., son of John Ist. and Rebecca, married Lydia, one of the seven daugh- ters (no sons) of Francis Bushnell. This Bushnell youth (Francis) was a contribution to the Norwalk settlement. His wife Hannah, to whom he was married Oct. 12, 1675, was, on that date, twenty years and eight months old, to a day. She was the oldest daughter of Thomas Seymour'st. (son of Richard 'st.) and the first-fruit of his happy marriage to a daughter of Matthew Marvin, Sr., Hannah, who was a young lady (born in England) of sixteen, when her father moved from Hartford to Norwalk. Francis and Hannah Bushnell founded a home at the foot of Strawberry Hill, Norwalk, and their old well, probably jointly used with the Barnum's (Thomas Barnum was next neighbor) can be seen to-day a little north of the home of the late Daniel Fitch. Francis Bushnell was one of the founders, in 1685, of Danbury, and Norwalk thereby lost, in himself and wife, two good settlers. He died in 1697, some years, evidently, before his daughter Lydia (mentioned fourth, in children's order, in his inventory) married John Fitch 2d., whose children were :

Matthew ; born, May, 1708.

Theophilus ; Bushnell ;

Rebecca ; married John, son of Samuel Richards.

Lydia ; married William Bolt. John.

Matthew Fitch, Ist. son of John 2d. and Lydia, lived in New Canaan and was twice mar- ried. His first wife was Jemima, daughter of Eber St. John. By her he had one child, born, Dec. 25, 1735, and baptized the next year by Rev. John Eells of New Canaan. Mrs. Matthew Fitch ". died and Mr. Fitch married, second, Dec. 7, 1738, Lydia, daughter of Nathan Olmstead. (See foot note, page 104.) By this union there were Nathan, Mercy, Hannah, Matthew2d., Lydia, Rebecca and Susanna.

Theophilus Fitch 1st., son of John 2d. and Lydia, was New Canaan's old and well known citizen, whose family story is interwoven with several of the excellent household histories of that interesting and genealogically inviting town. His youngest son, Joseph, born Oct. 21, 1758, lived on the rural road that to-day directly connects Brushy and Smith's Ridges. On Oct. 12, 1784, said Joseph married Hannah Sperry, the first child of which couple was

a daughter who took her mother's name. This daughter, Hannah, born April 23, 1786, married Sherman, son of Rev. Justus Mitchell. Sherman and Hannah Mitchell had a daughter, Martha, who married Joseph 2d., son of Joseph Ist. and Martha (Leeds) Silliman, which Silliman mention makes logical the insertion, in this particular place, of the fol- lowing :

NORWALK-CANAAN GOV WILLIAM LEETE DESCENT.

During a brief portion of one of Norwalk's settlement-years, the young daughter of Gov. Leete of Guilford, was prohibited, although she "could not perceive the reason of it at the time," from going near her father's store in that town.1 In the cellar of that store were concealed King Charles' two judges, Goffe and Whalley, concerning which refugees Rev. John Davenport of the colony had preached, admonishingly, from the text :

"Take counsel, execute judgment, make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday, hide the outcast, betray not him that wandereth : Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler .- Isaiah xvi, 3-4.

and the store premises referred to were, for the time being, quarantined. This maiden. married John Trowbridge of New Haven, and was the mother of one only daughter, Anne, who by her marriage, on Nov. 30, 1708, to Samuel Cooke, principal of the Hopkins Gram- mar School, New Haven, became the parent of a numerous Norwalk and New Canaan offspring.

Samuel Cooke, born Nov. 22, 1687, was a son of Thomas Cooke, Jr., and a grand- son of the Milford Cooke settler of 1650, who having prepared for the Congregational ministry, accepted a call-" {100 a year with firewood"-to the parish in Stratfield, now Bridgeport." He is described as being dignified in manner and as wearing a "particularly careful" ministerial dress. His bride. Anne Trowbridge, was a trifle past twenty on their wedding day. Seven children were born to them, of whom, Anne, the youngest, married, in 1742, Rev. Robert Silliman, son of Robert2d. and Ruth (Treadwell) Silliman, which Robert 2d. was a son of Robert Ist. and Sarah (Hull) Silliman, which RobertIst. was a son of Daniel Silliman the settler, all of Fairfield. Immediately after his marriage, Rev. Robert Silliman removed to New Canaan, having there been called to succeed Rev. John Eells as pastor. He remained in New Canaan about thirty years, and on Jan. 8, 1772, accepted a call to Saybrook, where he resided until his death in 1781. His wife died two and a half years before his own unexpected decease in New Canaan, where he was visiting, and in which place he is buried. He was highly connected, being nephew of Hon. Ebenezer Silli- man3 of Fairfield, and cousin of Gen. Gold Selleck Silliman of the Revolutionary period, and second cousin to the future Prof. Benjamin Silliman of Yale College. He left five sons

and three daughters. His oldest son, Samuel Cooke Silliman, did not quit the town with himself, but remained upon the family site. He was twice married, first to Elizabeth Strat- ton and second to Dinah Comstock, whose home was in the more remote portion of the Canaan parish. He died Feb. 14, 1798. His brothers removed with the parents from New Canaan, but Joseph 'st., the youngest, a lad of fifteen at going away, came back, now a physician, to New Canaan, where he was afterward a continuous recipient of public honors. He married, Nov. 23, 1785, Martha Leeds' of the Stamford family of that name. These had seven children, viz : Joseph 2d.,2 who married Martha, daughter of Sherman and Han- nah (Fitch) Mitchell and grand-daughter of Rev. Justus Mitchell; William, who married a daughter of Esquire Eliphalet St. John, whose boys' seminary crowned Canoe Hill ; Elizabeth, who married Hon. Minot, second son of Rev. Justus Mitchell, and was the head of the White Plains Mitchell family; Samuel C.2d., who married a daughter of Uriah Reed3 of Canaan Ridge (grand-daughter of Timothy, a grandson of John Reed of Crom-

'Daughter, probably, of Elisha and Sarah (Seeley) Leeds; born Dec. 27, 1756.

2He occupied the Silliman mansion still standing near where stood William Haynes' boundary "oak tree," at the south-eastern limit of Haynes' Ridge. He was a man of affairs during the busy six-day week and on Sunday the Silliman pew (south-west corner of the old Church Hill Meeting House) was regularly and reputably filled.

There have been three Congregational Church edifices in New Canaan and the sites of the first two so closely adjoined as to almost, if not quite, lap each other. The site of the present church is a few score feet from that of the second, upon which latter spot for one to stand is for one to be well nigh history-in- spired. Here, in 1732, the first meeting house was built. Permission to organize an ecclesiastical society had already been granted, but the "objective point" was not reached for two years. The central figure in the portraiture which one at this spot mind-draws is that of a bright young man of 30 years, well related, who stood first in his college class and was New Ca- naan's earliest pastor. He was accompanied by a young bride, Anna Beard, and John and Anna Eells estab- lished themselves with one son and two daughters on that lovely spine, perhaps a mile eastward of their spiritual home, and known, very properly, to-day, as Carter Street. Mr. Eells' congregation at that time was a small but an earnest body of men and women. Nearest the pastor and immediately under his pul- pit in that first church, sat John Bouton. He was then in years, but he was a good man and founded a line of worthies. Matthew Fitch also sat there and his short-lived St. John wife, who became members just before the society experienced its first bereavement by the decease, May 8, 1736, of the pastor's first wife. Ebenezer and Hannah Carter, the progenitors of an ex- cellent descent, also sat there. Mr. Eells' constituency

was a growing one and a second edifice was demanded. This was built in 1752 and continued in use ninety years one of the most beautiful pictures of its last days, being the stately walk through its aisles on the way to the pulpit, of the benignant-faced, and bene- volent-natured Rev. Theophilus Smith, as well as the entrance, at the west door, of his dignified mother-in- law, Mrs. Samuel St. John, leaning upon the arm of one of her sons, and followed, in summer, by her home-visiting children and grand-children, the party filling the St. John pew in the north-west corner of the sanctuary and constituting a noticeable group. The St. John children were much admired as was the case with Col. Enoch St. John's Alabamian charge, the two Pope lads, who also went to the same Church. These boys were masterly handlers of the gun, and having been asked how they acquired their skill chivalrously replied, "Our mother taught us." The bravery of Henry, the older brother, was put to a further test when sudden sickness or death having occurred, in the night, in the family, the courageous young southerner breasted a New England snow storm, and trudged, through deep darkness, over the New Canaan Ridge, in quest of assistance. This same Henry Pope wrote, in 1895, a graphic letter descrip- tive of his New Canaan life and sent it north. He died in Mobile, June 7, 1895.

3Uriah and Hannah Reed lived at the upper end of Haynes' Ridge, Canaan Parish, and their home, writes one, was "quite the picture of the birth-place of Whittier." Here were born three children, two of whom, Sally and Clara, lived to become of age. Sally, born May 2, 1791, married Joseph Fitch 2d., (son of Joseph ist.,) who lived on the east side of Smith's Ridge, in the house now standing next south of the residence of Mrs. Stephen Keeler. Joseph and Sally Fitch had five children. This family eventually re- moved from New Canaan, and is to-day represented
