Eileen Adams are you still on here? I know this is a very old thread, but it's worth a shot. I'm interested in some of the information you have concerning John W. Fitch and C. P Fitch. Do you know if they were brothers? Or who their parents are? C P is my 4th great grandfather the C P stands for Commodore Perry. He also named a son John W. (maybe named after the John W you mentioned) he was born 1855. I'm guessing he did have a brother named John W. and maybe a brother Joseph also. I find all three listed in the Wayne Co., IL Reserve Militia in 1862.
