Notes for John Finch:
Came from England, likely Yorkshire, in 1630 on the Arbella, flagship of the Winthrop Fleet.
At Watertown 1630
Removed to Wethersfield in 1637.
Removed to Stamford in 1642 to be with his brother Daniel.
I have a map of the Stamford area from The Story of the Early Settlers of Stamford 1641-1700 (see sources for complete title and author).
Notes for Martha Brett:
It is possible that Martha Brett was related to a Thomas Brett of Tenterden, Kent, England.Thomas Brett's will referred to "my sister Finche, now wife of Mr John Finch".That would have made Thomas Brett and Martha Brett brother and sister.There is no proof that this was the John Finch that he referred to nor is there proof that Martha Brett was the name of John Finch's wife.
If this be true, it might be that marriage records in Tenterden, Kent would verify the marriage.
