The Fitch Gazetteer: An Annotated Index to the Manuscript History of Washington County, New York Volume 1

From 1847 to 1878, Dr. Asa Fitch of New York state collected a series of articles towards a history and genealogy of Washington County and the surrounding region. The numerous genealogical entries and family records featured in this manuscript trace the growth of the original families who arrived in the 1760s and the New England settlers who arrived just prior to the Revolutionary War, carrying their descent into the 3rd, 4th and sometimes 5th generations.

The complete contents of Dr. Fitch's manuscript are currently available only on microfilm, with a separate name index. Kenneth Perry has indexed and compiled Dr. Fitch's work into an annotated, alphabetical list by subject. Entries are also cross-referenced to related topics.
