By a 14 Mar 1695/6 deed Joseph Fitch gave Samuel Burnham of Podunk 12 acres and also gave Robert Stedman land. He referred to both men as his sons-in-law. Samuel Burnham had a wife Mary in 1690/1 and another wife named Mary in 1727. Robert Stedman had a wife Mry in 1743/4. [Ref] Mary Fitch must have been the wife of one of these men.

Joseph also gave land to Samuel Olmstead and to John Colt. Gale Ion Harris points out that Samuel Olmstead was married to Mary Lord, who died his widow in 1736. Therefore, he could not have been a son-in-law. Harris also argues that the John Colt who was left the land was John Colt, Sr. John Colt, Sr. had two wives, Anne Skinner and Hester Edwards. He argues, that while possible, it is unlikely that he was a son-in-law. [Ref]
