Edited to add: 1645 was the year that he was made a freeman in Massachusetts Bay Colony, which seems to have been one of the first records of him in New England. That was also the year that his daughter was baptized. Either of those incidents is likely what Fitby was recognizing as having occurred in 1645 - not necessarily that he immigrated then.
