Thomas Fitch was a lawyer, plantation owner, and slaveholder in South Georgia and East Florida in the early 1800's. He lived in St. Augustine when Florida was ceded to the United States and was appointed to be the first Judge of the new territorial government in that city. However, a yellow fever epidemic came to St. Augustine in 1821, and within days of his appointment as Judge, Thomas Fitch, his wife and children died of the yellow fever.
