Translation
"In this grave are deposited the remains of that truley reverend
man, Mr. James Fitch. He was born in Bocking, in the County of
Essex, in England, the 24th day of December, in the year of our
Lord 1622; who after he had been most excellently taught the learned
languages came into New England at the age of sixteen, and then
spent seven years under the instructions of those very famous men,
Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone. Afterwards he discharged the pastoral
office fourteen years at Saybrook. Thence he removed with the
major part of his Church to Norwich, where he spent the other years
of his life in the work of the gospel. In his old age indeed he was
obliged to cease from his public labors by reason of bodily indisposi-
tion and at length retired to his children at Lebanon, where after
spending nearly half a year, he slept in Jesus in the year 1702, on
the
18th day of November, in the 80th year of his age."
"He was a man as to the smartness of his genius, the solidity of
his judgement, his charity, holy labors, and every kind of purity of
life, and also as to his skill and energy of preaching, inferior to
none." |

in spiritual matters, but in secular affairs, - in things pertaining to
the welfare of the Colony, and the good order and prosperity of the new
plantations.' Our limits do not permit us to say more of a man who is more
conspicuously associated with the history of Windham Co., but refer our
