  • Thomas Fitch Governor of the Colony of Connecticut, 1754-1766
    Thomas Fitch Governor of the Colony of Connecticut, 1754-1766 Born: 1696, Norwalk, Connecticut College: Graduated from Yale in 1721 Political Party: No declared political party Offices: Norwalk Justice of Peace, 1727-1733, 1736-1737 Deputy, Connecticut General Assembly, 1726-1728, 1729-1731, 1772-1773 Assistant, Connecticut General Assembly, 1734-1736; 1740-1750 Deputy Governor, 1750-1754 Chief Justice, Connecticut Superior Court, 1750-1754 Governor, Colony of Connecticut, 1754-1766 Died: July 18, 1774, Norwalk, Connecticut Governor Thomas Fitch guided the Colony of Connecticut through the turbulent economic and political times before the Revolutionary War but never lived to see the colonies become an independent nation. Born in Norwalk, Connecticut about 16961, Thomas Fitch was the oldest son and the first child of Thomas Fitch and his first wife, Sarah (Boardman) Fitch. He was the fourth- generation "Thomas” in Connecticut, and is sometimes called "Thomas IV” . The Fitches were a wealthy and noble family of Bocking, Essex, England, from which Thomas IV's great-grandfather, Thomas I, emigrated to Connecticut with his mother and two brothers in the 1600's; Thomas I and his brother Joseph were among the founders of Norwalk. After early schooling in Norwalk, Thomas IV went to Yale to study law. He was there during a period when some Yale professors left the Congregational Church (the established church) for the Episcopalian Church, shocking the Congregational-based society of Connecticut. Even Thomas admitted to sympathizing with some Episcopalian teachings. After graduation he went on to obtain a Master's degree. In 1724, Thomas Fitch married Hannah Hall, born January 31, 1702 at New Haven, a daughter of Richard Hall and Hannah Miles.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

This report will be generated each year and will be made available in electronic and hard copy form. It will provide definitive information and detailed summaries of all yearly projects, events, activities, forums, and accomplishments conducted/achieved by the Center and its personnel. The CCMS Annual Report will be completed and submitted to the Werth Family Foundation during February of each year. Contents of the CCMS 2011-2012 Annual Report are described below. I.

It has also shown an inverse correlation to sediment grain size. Using sediment copper concentrations, grain size data, and loss-on-ignition (organics content) data, a multivariate linear model was created that allowed prediction of copper concentration at sample stations from grain size and loss-on-ignition data alone.

The genealogical registers are very imperfect ; and if any fami- lies are omitted, it is because they were not put upon the public re- cords and because the ; compiler, after repeatedly advertising, and alter some months' delay, has failed to obtain them.

This one-day event features reports on research, field plots, barn exhibits, tours, and other opportunities for Connecticut residents and attendees to discuss many topics of plant science on an informal basis and interact with CAES scientists and staff. While the event only lasts one day, planning for Plant Science Day is a year-round activity spearheaded by the Plant Science Day Planning Committee. This committee, chaired by Ms. Vickie M.
