Comments
'The nuncupative will of Julian Sutton also shows that she conveyed to her son-in-law, Sergeant John Fitch "in reference to charges he had been at with her." As Mary Fitch, daughter of John and Mary (Sutton) Fitch, was married 11 May 1667 to Thomas Armsbee or Ormsby (Vital Records of Taunton, vo. 2, p. 184), her grandmother [sic], Mary (Sutton) Fitch, was born probably in England as early as 1626.'
