    Notes:

    John Finch (1595 - 1657)
    Born 1595 in Essex, England.
    Believed to be the son of Abraham Finch, and brother of Abraham Jr. and Daniel Finch.
    John Finch came to America in June/July 1630, arriving in Salem, Massachusetts aboard a vessel of the Winthrop Fleet, and led by the flagship, "Arbella". Traveling with John Finch, during this "Great Emigration" was his father, Abraham Sr., and brothers, Abraham Jr., and Daniel. In 1630, this Finch family group settled in Watertown, Massachusetts where, (per Governor Winthrop), Abraham Sr.'s wigwam and worldly goods were destroyed by fire in September of that year. By 1634, having taken the oath and become "Freemen", Abraham Finch Sr., Abraham Jr. and Daniel Finch relocated to Wethersfield, Connecticut, where each took up residence on the east side of Broad Street. It is unclear whether John Finch ever owned property in Wethersfield, CT., though he certainly did in Stamford, which was then considered a colony of Wethersfield. Abraham Sr., commonly known as "Ould Finch", took up residence just south of Thomas Olcott, of Hartford, CT. Near Abraham Sr.'s homestead was that of son, Daniel Finch who was appointed Wethersfield's first constable in 1631. Just north of Daniel's residence, was the home of Abraham Jr. Abraham Finch Jr. was killed October 30, 1637 in the Wethersfield Massacre by Massutunck (alias Nepaupuck), a Pequot War Chief. Nepaupuck was tried, convicted and on October 29, 1639, beheaded for the murder of Abraham Finch Jr., a Swaine family daughter "and others". At the time of his death, Abraham Finch Jr. had a wife, Dorothy (Moulton) and a son also named Abraham. Young Abraham Finch (III) was soon after adopted by his grandfather, Abraham Sr. and eventually inherited his father Abraham Jr.'s 10 acres of land on Broad Street. (Will administered in September of 1840.)

    As for what we know of John Finch....
    "November 7, 1632, at Boston, John Finch fined for wanting Arms for his man and for being absent himself from training." [Militia]
    John's first wife (name?) died before 1634, sometime after the birth of their child (John Finch Jr.)
    See record of marriages Online:
    John Finch married his 2nd wife, Martha Brett in 1634 - Watertown, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts. Martha was born in England, and alleged to have arrived in 1630 aboard the "Arbella".
    " John was a proprietor of Watertown in 1636-38, being granted 4 acres on February 26, 1636, 4 more acres on February 26, 1637 and 91 acres April 1638."
    By 1642 John Finch was living in Stamford, Connecticut where he was assigned 6 acres of marsh and upland and served in the Stamford Train Band" [Militia].
    John Finch died September 5, 1657, (age 62) Fairfield County - Stamford, Connecticut.
    "The inventory of his estate was filed in Stamford February 9, 1658, and found him with a net estate of only 23 pounds."
