JOSEPH FITHIAN, physician; P. O. Paris.  The Fithian family trace their
ancestry to one William Fithian, a native of England, whose will bears date
Dec. 11, 1678.  According to a family tradition, they came to America, and
were among the little land of refugees who fled from the religious
persecution at that time, and landed in South Hampton, Long Island, where
they subsequently settled some time prior to the war of the Revolution;
nearly all the members of the family that were eligible, served in that
struggle; one Phillips was in command of a body of men who were
participants in the "tea party" in Boston harbor.  The first after William
was Samuel, who married Priscilla Burnett.  She had several children,
among whom was Josiah, born May 6, 1685; his wife was Sarah Dennis. From
them in direct line came Joseph, born Aug. 12, 1724; he married Hannah
Vickers, who born him Amos, Oct. 11, 1759, who married Rachel Leake; from
this couple descended Joel Fithian, who was born May 10, 1797, at
Cedarville, New Jersey.  He is the father of Dr. Joe Fithian, whose name
heads this page, who was born in Philadelphia, Pa., October, 1830.  His
mother's maiden name was Sarah Sinnockson, born Sept. 14, 1801, in Salem,
New Jersey; she was a daughter of Andrew, who was born March 2, 1749, and
died July 20, 1849.  He served first as Captain, and afterward promoted
to Colonel in the Colonial war.  He was a son of Andrew, whose father was
likewise of same name; his brother Thomas was a member of the first
Continental Congress, and served as Judge for twenty-two years.  The
Sinnockson family were originally from Sweden.  The father of our subject
was likewise a physician, and carried on the drug business in Philadelphia.
His children were as follows, viz: Elizabeth, Mrs. John M. Peck, of
Cincinnati; Dr. Washington, Dr. Joseph and Fannie; but two now living.
Drs. Joseph and Washington both of Paris, Joseph graduated in Philadelphia
in 1854, soon after came to Kentucky and engaged in the practice of his
profession.  During the entire war he served as surgeon in the Eighteenth
Kentucky; after his time had expired he returned.  For several years past
he has been associated with his brother, Washington Fithian, in Paris, in
the practice of his profession.  He was married to Miss Emma Owen, a
native of this county.  Three children have crowned this union, viz:
Frank, a medical student, Nettie and Georgia.  The Doctor is an elder of
the Presbyterian Church.
