  • This letter was written by Bennett Chew Fitzhugh (1794-1866), the son of Peregrine Fitzhugh (1759-1811) and Elizabeth Crowley Chew (1766-1854). Bennett married Sarah Phelps (1800-1882) in 1819 and raised nine children with birth years ranging from 1824 to 1841. She was the daughter of Rev. Davenport Phelps, one of the pioneer missionaries of Western New York. Bennett was appointed keeper of the Sodus Point Light in 1829. In this 1846 letter we learn that Fitzhugh is being replaced by a gentleman named Tillotson as the Collector of Customs at Sodus Point. It isn’t clear whether this position was held in conjunction with the light keeper’s duties though clearly a government-supplied residence came with the post. The Fitzhugh family eventually moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
