He had a son named Daniel Wheeler Fitch as well with another woman named Lucretia. I'm looking for info on both families, but I can start with Daniel Wheeler Fitch and his family. Here's a full list of everything I know about this family: Husband: Daniel Wheeler Fitch (born around 1823, died around 1900) Wife #1: Hellen Traver (Tover) (born around 1828) Children: Ann Elizabeth (born around 1847) Sarah J (born around 1848) Martha A (born around 1849) Joshua (born around 1853) G P (born around 1856) Emily Elizabeth (born Mar 2 1859) All of Daniel & Hellen's kids should've been born in Rhinebeck or Clinton. There may be more, but these were the only names I found in the 1850 & 1860 census reports. 1850 = Living in Rhinebeck; 1860 = Living in Clinton Wife #2: Lucretia ?? (born around 1836) Children: Elizabeth (born around 1866) Doretta (born around 1869) Daniel Wheeler (born around 1870) All of these kids may have been born in NYC. 1870 = Living in NYC; 1880 = Living in NYC (Manhattan) Now, Hellen Traver had a sister named Mary who lived with the Fitch's in 1850. Mary was born around 1834. Also, Daniel had a sister named Ann Eliza Purdy living with him in 1870 and 1880. She was born around 1810, which leads me to believe Daniel was the youngest child. Daniel's father was born in Connecticut, and his mother was born in New York. Hope this information helps!! Thanks again for your interest in helping me :) It is greatly appreciated!
