This is the author of the "Diary of Jabez Fitch, Jr." that is printed in multiple installments in multiple volumes of Source:Mayflower Descendant andSource:Pilgrim Notes and Queries (Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants). The first installment starts p. 1:36. His diary was once published as "Prison Ship Martyr: Captain Jabez Fitch: his diary in facsimile, 1776", but "Alas, Fitch never set foot on any of the Wallabout prison ships. Neither was he a martyr, reaching the ripe old age of seventy-five before his death of natural causes in 1812."[4]
