Dr. Peletiah FITCH came from a long line of distinguished ancestors, and was born in Norwich, CT, May 6, 1722. He received a thorough literary and professional education. After practicing medicaine twenty-eight years in Connecticut, he removed to Vermont, and came thence to Salem, about 1780. Though eminently qualified, yet owing to his advanced age and the care of a rising family, Dr. FITCH did not enter largely upon general practice, but confined his services to his neighbors and personal friends. He was an active compatriot with General Williams, Judge Webster, and other distinguished men of that heroic era. Dr. FITCH died April 16, 1803.
OTHER from same source:
came from Norwich, Conn., to Groton, Mass.; then to Halifax, Vt. ; and from there to Salem in 1779. He settled on what is now the present place of H. Flowers, known as Milliman's Corners. Of his children, Joseph remained in Groton; Chester became a sea-captain, and finally settled in the West Indies; Pelatiah, Jr., settled in Salem ; Elisha first settled in Salem, and afterwards removed to Leroy, Genesee Co. ; Benjamin settled in Salem ; and Asa in Salem. Of his daughters, Lydia became Miss. David Henderson, of Salem,afterwards of St. Lawrence Co.; Elizabeth, Mrs. Aaron Martin, of Salem. Asa Fitch, above mentioned, was a member of Congress, 1811-13, the well-known Dr. Fitch of olden times, and father of the now equally well-known Dr. Asa Fitch, Jr. To the latter we are indebted for much valuable assistance in the preparation of this town history, and for advice upon difficult questions respecting dates, persons, and places.
