FITCH, of Winchester, KY., was born in Lewis County, KY., March 28, 1840, and is the ninth of a family of ten children born to Benjamin and Ollie (Burriss) Fitch. Benjamin Fitch was born in Pennsylvania, and when about ten years of age, came to Kentucky with his father, Joseph Fitch, a native of Pennsylvania, who settled in Lewis County, where he lived and died and was a farmer all his life. Benjamin Fitch was brought up as a farmer, which occupation he followed his whole life.

J. W. Fitch was brought up on the farm and received a common-school education. Very early in life he commenced the study of law and is at present a member of the Winchester bar; however, he soon became dissatisfied with the legal profession, turned his attention to the ministry and! in 1860 was licensed to preach. In the same year he joined the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, took charge of Fox Creek circuit, Fleming county, until 1862; in 1863 he had charge of Tilton circuit, same county, and in 1864-65 was in charge of the Orangeburg circuit, in Mason and Fleming counties.

He was then appointed to take charge of the Maysville District, where he labored until 1884, when he was transferred to the Danville district, where he still is presiding elder.

November 11, 1862, Mr. Fitch married Miss Sarah Trumbo, daughter of Jacob and Mary (Northcut) Trumbo of Bath County, KY.; she was a granddaughter of Rev. Benjamin Northcut, one of the pioneer ministers of Kentucky and in his day, one of the most able men who ever lived in Kentucky. One child was born to Mr. and Mrs. Fitch, Neely R., now a practicing physician in Eminence, KY. Mrs. Sarah Fitch died April 5, 1865, and November 29, 1866, Mr. Fitch married Mrs. Bettie A.

Perhaps someone has given you an incorrect address for the Dempsey Cemetery. It cannot be North of Concord because Concord is on the south bank of the Ohio River and there could not be a village north of the village unless it would be in Ohio.

Chesapeake is in Ohio between Ashland, Ky., and Huntington, W. Va. There is a small village in Lewis County named Concord.

Sorry, That was north of CONCORD. Thanks, Linda

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a Dempsey Cemetery in Lewis County, KY? It's supposed to be north of Corcord and around Chesapeake. Thanks, Linda

People sand me interesting things. Yesterday's mail included a stack of old "Bluegrass Roots-Quarterly Journal of the Ky Gen Soc" Vol 24 No 3 Fall 1997 page 109 "Bryant Reports on Bryan's Station" "The Bryan family acquired some 13,000 acres in,and around the area that would become Bryan's Station.However,by a strange quirk,the land on which the Bryan's decided to establish their settlement was not theirs. Instead,the land belonged to Col Wm Preston,of Va. Never the less,mthinking the lands theirs,the Bryan's errected a number of cabuins on the site." A worthy and intersting quote from a notable magazine. And partially wrong. 1773 land surveyors like Douglass,Bullitt,Lee appear in Ky. The British government finally gives land companies like Ben Franklin's,and Phineas Lyman's western tracts. 1774,the land surveyors return to Ky,this time officially aides to Col Wm Preston, surveyor of,what? Fincastle Co,Va. The Quebec Act of the British government over rules the 1773 grants,in part. Lord Dunmore's War. And the troubles begin with the Boston people and the British military occupying them. April 19,1775 are the battles of Lexington and Concord,Mass.And Dec 9th,1775,is the 1st battle in Va between Loyalists and Rebels. Jan-feb[?],1776 is the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in NC.And the expedition vs the Cherokee,and Col Nathanial Gist. So,the early surveys,and settlements of Harrodsburg and Boonesboro are before the early 1776 date when one must choose sides. On the Yadkin in NC, perhaps because of oaths given King George III by the defeated Regulators at Alamance,NC in [?] 1771, was an area where many became Loyalist. And the Loyalist leaders of NC included Col Samuel Bryan ,and Capt Joseph Bryan, and the Bryan husband of Col Jonathan Hunt's dau,who m 2nd Rev John Gano. Anyway,Col Wm Preston was informed in mid 1776,by his Ky surveyor asst, John Floyd,that a 'bunch of Tories are settled on your land,and have 60 acres of corn planted. They say they will buy it,if you will name your price.' I've seen Samuel Bryan's plat,and all but 27 acres of the 1000 acres was located atop an earlier survey to Col Wm Preston's bro-in-law. [But,who would have had the better claim if the British had won the Rev War?] Only 13 of the 20+ British colonies in North America rebelled. The men like Washington,Lee,Mason,Franklin,Henry lost their claims to land companies. But Ct's Gen Phineas Lyman's land company was in the Loyalist colony of West Florida,near Natchez,on the Mississippi. His land company's claim remained good. Wm Thompson,of Carlisle,Pa was in Ky surveying in 1773 for his fellow French and Indian War officers land claims. He became,1775,a Whig General,and was captured at Quebec,and died later from his exposure-little known. He had surveyed 16,000 acres in Ky for his friend,and fellow British officer,Rev Wm Barton. Barton ministered the Episcopal church in Lancaster,Pa til 1777,when he fled within British military lines. His New York city will of 1780-82 [occupied by the British til Nov,1783, mentioned his 16,000 acres on Elkhorn,in Ky. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

These new "Trojan" type Email copying viruses encircle the woeld in hours. There may be 36-48 hours before Anti-Virus companies learn of them,and then write,and post a remedy. And Yesterday's Pentagon, or Gonie Virus also attacted Norton Anti-Virus software. There are some things I've learned from TECHTV'S 'Screenservers" program. 1st,the major new viruses are attacting weaknesses in huge Microsoft 's Windows [various versions],and Outlook Express Email programs,and Internet Explorer. Microsoft makes software "patches" to cover these weaknmesses,but it' s up to you you go to Microsoft's web sites,and downloading these UPDATES. This is something like locking your doors 'before' any attact. So,UPDATE MICROSOFT'S programs. My version-98- of Windows had 16 gaps,of which 15 can be patched. Join and keep current on some good anti-virus software. I sleep poorly,so I log onto www.mcafee.com's clinic several 3-4am's a week,and up-date their Active Shield. 3rd,I reduced my Email address book,and changed .com to .comX; .net to .netX, .org to ORGX,and .edu to EDUX. I then edit off the X with my backspace key when writing an Email.. I eliminated people I thought would have particular problems with a virus. [older problem in rural settings] Remember, 'WE ARE AT WAR"! Hackers all over the world have attacted us,and will attact us. It might be wise to have a Mac,or a Linux operating system,to use on-line, for Microsoft's programs are under particular attact. This Juno.com uses Netscape,not Internet Explorer. Do not open attachments,but this latest Pentagon gonie virus does not have to be an attachment opened. It offers a screen savers,and says,"I'm in a harry [hurry]" Yes,harry for hurry.
