Abraham Finch

Although some assume there was an Abraham Finch, father of Daniel Finch, there is no evidence for such a man. Per Anderson in his featured name profile for Daniel Finch: Jacobus sorted out some of the problems in an appendix to Families of Old Fairfield [FOOF 1:718-20] He demonstrated there that the Abraham Finch killed by the Pequots in 1637 was the son of Daniel, thus overcoming a defect in the records, which would otherwise lead one to assume another Abraham of an earlier generation.
