Rebecca WEBSTER (Mrs. Thaddeus FLITCH), who afterward became Mrs. John WALKER, started for Olmsted from East Windsor, Conn., in November 1831. She was in company with Anna LOOMIS, wife of her son Chauncey, and family. The vessel on which they took passage from Buffalo was driven by the stress of weather into the harbor of Dunkirk. Here Anna was taken ill with a fever and died at the home of her husband's uncle, in Pomfret, near Fredonia, N.Y. Mrs. Thaddeus FITCH, however accompanied her son and family here, where they arrived December 25 after a prolonged sleighride. In the fall of 1833 Mr. FITCH returned to Windsor, bringing back with him a second wife, Clarissa LOOMIS, sister of the deceased. Through persevering industry and economy they acquired a fair property here.
