My distant cousin, Cece Bibby, told me several years ago that Gary Boyd
Roberts said the Fitches of Connecticut might have a remote royal
descent. I wonder if this is what he was thinking of ... I believe
the brother of John Brock (who m. Agnes Wiseman) married the widow of a
de Vere Earl of Oxford (going from memory; could someone check CP?), so
perhaps it is not *utterly* implausible ...
