William Hitchcock, his wife Elizabeth and baby Samuel arrived on the Tunxis Plantation, in Connecticut before 1645, when the name was changed to Farmington.
William built their home, on his home lot, in the middle of Main Street. The young family had a view of mountains on the east. On the west, the Tunxis or Farmington River brimmed with salmon and shad (a fish in the herring family).
