"Jonathan Fitch came to the Wyoming Valley perhaps about 1774; ...Jonathan and Esther were in Westmoreland, of course, when the Wyoming Massacre occurred on July 3, 1778. In the wild flight that terrible carnage caused, Jonathan led a party of about 100 women and children over the mountain and out of the valley, but Esther was not one of them. She and her sister, Elizabeth were apparently visiting a prominent woman of the community, a Mary Young...About that time Jonathan and Esther moved to what is now Broome Co. NY, then was Tioga. He built a grist mill there, was the first representative of Tioga County to the New York Legislature and was appointed a Tioga county judge."
