FITCH.
This family is supposed to be of Saxon origin .* THOMAS (the gt. gt. grand- father of John, the inventor of steamboats), inherited an estate near Brain- tree, in Essex, England. He left 5 sons, who left England after his death, and came to New England about 1638. The names of only 3 of them are known : 1, THOMAS ; 2, JOSEPH ; 3, JAMES:
JOSEPH, purchased one-twentieth part of the township of W. ; his children were-Joseph,1 Nathaniel, and Samuel.t
JOSEPH,1 m. ; lived in Windsor ; d. impoverished. Children-Joseph2 and John, who lived in Mass.
JOSEPH,2 was brought up in a family at Hartford, where he received a good education ; le m. 1, Sarah Shaler of Bolton, who d. about 1747-8 ; he m. 2, Abigail Church of Hartford ; lived on the line between Hartford and Wind- sor. Children by 1st wife-Joseph, settled in Bloomfield, Ct. ; was a cooper ; Augustus ;3 Sarab, m. at age of 16 to Timothy King of W. ; Anne, lived mostly with her uncle John, in Mass. ; John,4 b. Jan. 21, 1743 (O. S.) ; Chloe.
AUGUSTUS,3 settled in E. W., m. Editha Field, Jan. 22, 1760; had John Field, b. Feb. 7, 1776, whose son Augustus is a distinguished physician in Charleston, S. C.
* This is believed to be the most extensive genealogy yet published, of this very interesting and numerous family. We have collated it from Hinman, Westcott's Life of John Fitch, Miss Caulkins, Windsor Records, and MSS. furnished us by SERENO WATSON, M. D., of Greensboro', Ala., and by Mr. HORATIO FITCH of Hartford, Ct. We need offer no apology for our very brief notice, of JOHN FITOR, the inventor of steamboats. The numerous biographies of this son of Windsor and especially the recent one by Westcott, compiled from Fitch's own journals and MISS., which ought to be a household book iu every family of Old Windsor, have done more ample justice to his name and fame than we could do.
t Westcolt, (in Life of Johu F ), says that these three were all improvident and wasted their estate, but that Joseph was the only one who married. I donbt this somewhat, as the Windsor Records show the marriage of " Corporal Nathaniel Fitch," to Abigail Bnttolph of Stonington, Nov. 23, 1718, also that "Abigail, wife of Corporal Nathaniel," d. April 4, 1719.

JOHN FITCH, was born at (E.) Windsor. Conn., Jan. 21, 1743, and remained in that vicinity until he reached the age of twenty-five years, receiving a common school education. He was ill-treated by his father and elder brother -- his life at home was rendered wretched, and he was bound apprentice to a watchmaker. Subsequently an unfortunate marriage crowned the misery of his condition, and in 1769, while yet a young man, he became an adventurer of fortune. After many vicissitudes he became a resident watchmaker of Trenton, N. J., where he exercised his trade at the commencement of the Revolution. The demand for arms induced him to undertake the business of a gunsmith for the American forces, which exposed his property to destruction when the British entered the village in December, 1776. He joined the troops of New Jersey, and endured the rigors of a winter camp at Valley Forge. Returning from the camp, he recom- menced the trade of a silversmith in Bucks county, Pa , occasionally traversing the country on foot, to repair the clocks and watches of the inhabitants. Having procured an appointment of deputy surveyor from the state of Virginia, he started for Kentucky with a knapsack upon his back and a compass iu his hand in the spring of 1780.
In the fall of 17SI he retnrued to Philadelphia, having made extensive surveys between the Kentucky and Green Rivers. In the spring of 1782, collecting the fragments of $4000 which had been received in continental money, he was barely able to raise £150 Pennsylvania enrrency as a capital for western adventure. At the month of the Muskingum this remnant of his fortune. invested in flour and goods, was captured and destroyed by Indians, two of the party killed and nine taken prisoners. Fitch had the address to conciliate Capt. Buffaloe, the leader of the band, and the physical endurance to snstain the rigors of Indian slavery.
After various adventures he reached Warminister, in the winter of 1782-3, penniless and dejected. Here he resided when the unfortunate inspiration came across 1 is mind in regard to steam.
The first model of a steamboat was completed in 1785, having its machinery perfeet, and bear- iag at the sides, wheels instead of paddles ; but the wheels were found to labor too much in the water, which led to the substitution, in 1786, of paddles. Fitch now besieged the Continental congress, the Pennsylvania legislature, for the pecuniary aid required to carry ont his project. He wrote to Franklin, in October. 1785, affirming the practicability of sea navigation by steam vessels; and everywhere, and at all times, boldly asserted as a prediction what we observe as facts. But none of his fervid representations produced the money, and he acquired the repnta- tion of an insane man. Finally, by the construction, engraving and sale of a map of the North- western Territory, all of which was done with his own hands in the work shop of his friend, Cobe

Scout of Warminister, and the impressious taken ou a elder-press. he raised about $$00 in Febru- ary, 1787, formed a company of forty shares, and commenced a boat of sixty tous. This boat ouly made three miles an hour. The company was discouraged, but another rally was effected. the shares doubled, and the improvements commenced, aud in a year they were ready for another experiment, which was made in October, 1788. This boat, aptly called the Perseverance, after- wards made 80 miles in one day, and ran on the Delaware for some time as a passenger boat. In the fall of 1789, another and better boat was built, which was unfortunately burned at the dock. In 1791, he procured a patent from the U. S., which was, however, of little use, and was destroyed by fire in 1836. But in 1817, a committee of the New York legislature, who examined it, with the drawings, models, &c., said, "The boats of Livingston and Fulton were, in substance, the invention patented to John Fitch in 1791, and that Fitch during the time of his patent, had the exclusive right to use the same in the United States." Mr. Fitch in the following year was in com- munication with the Spanish minister at Philadelphia, and the governor at New Orleans, respect- ing a right to the Mississippi. Iu 1793, at the instance of Mr. Vail, United states consul at L'Orient, he visited Frauce with a view to propose the matter to the national assembly, but civil disorders of that kingdom prevented the accomplishment of his wishes. In Frauce he ex- plained his object and the principles of his great plan to Mr. Fulton, who afterwards availed himself of the information thus received, and secured an honor which did not truly belong to him. About the same time he wrote to Mr. Ritteuhouse, and speaking of the power of steam, he made the following remarkable prophecy : "This, Sir, will be the mode of crossing the Atlantic in time, whether I shall bring it to its perfection or not." But poor Fitch was pronounced crazy, and became discouraged by the numerous obstacles which he met with on every side. Disap- pointed and penniless, he withdrew to London, aud worked his passage to his native country as a sailor ! In 1796, he withdrew to his lands near Bardstown, Kentucky, which he found iu the occupation of others. In 1798, he took a fatal poisou, and died in the chamber of a taveru, attended by no relative or friend (his landlord excepted), and was buried in the grave yard. in presence of six or seven persons, without stone or mouument to mark the spot. His jour- nals, and other MSS., were deposited in the Philadelphia Library, and from them has been com- piled a very full and interesting biography, by Thompson Westcott, a book of 415 pages, lately published at Phildelphia, by J. B. Lippiucott & Co.
