Capt Jeremiah FITCH

Abt 1671 - 1736  (65 years)

• Name	Jeremiah FITCH  [1]
  	In October, 1708, Jeremiah Fitch was commissioned Captain of the second company of militia in the town of Lebanon. This second company was probably in the Second Society (now the town of Columbia, Conn.,) then known from the shape of the district, as Lebanon Crank. Capt. Jeremiah and his wife were members of the Windham Church before the Coventry church was formed, and the first mention of him in the latter Church's records (the first portion of which is missing) is October 22, 1719, when he was appointed one of the committee to "seat" the inhabitants of the "Mile and a Quarter" in the meeting house, i.e. to assign them their proper places. In 1723 he was chosen a selectman of Coventry, which office he held for six years - the last time being in 1735. He represented the town in the General Assembly during ten sessions (1725-1734), possessed considerable influence in town affairs, and was esteemed by his contemporaries. [1]
