Collaborator Kathleen Johnson writes, "According to your source "A History of the Fitch Family" volume 1. Thomas Fitch Jr. came to America with two of his brothers, his mother and probably his wife and children sometime between 1648 and 1650 and would not qualify as a GMB immigrant. Neither would his daughter, Mary Fitch Sherwood, since she was born in 1643 and would have presumably arrived with her parents, uncles and grandmother no earlier than 1648. His brother James arrived in the Americas earlier (1635)."
See Roscoe Conkling Fitch, A History of the Fitch Family ..., 2 vols. (Haverhill, Mass.: Record Pub. Co., 1930), 1:105-121 (Thomas Fitch, 1612-1704), at 105, 106; digital images, HathiTrust.
At p. 105, "... and the first record we have of him in America is in 1650."
At p. 106, "Thomas Fitch I sealed a deed dated 16 October 21 Charles I ..."
The noted deed seems otherwise dated 16 October 1646--do we have a reference for that deed?
Did Anderson include an entry for Thomas Fitch in the Directory? Reference--Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Directory: Immigrants to New England, 1620–1640: A Concise Compendium (Boston, Massachusetts : New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2015).
Assuming Thomas Fitch is not included in the Directory, and unless someone has documentation placing Thomas in the colonies prior to say the spring of 1641, shall we remove the project box from his profile?
Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide.--Gene
