Ebenezer Fitch (September 26, 1756 – March 21, 1833) was an American Calvinist clergyman and educator.
[2] The American Revolutionary War was ongoing at the time, but because Fitch was a student and then resident tutor (1780–1783) at Yale, he was exempted from the military draft then in effect.
[3] He later tried his hand at business, but was largely unsuccessful, and was invited in 1790 to move to Williamstown, Massachusetts, and serve as preceptor of a new free academy for boys.
Highly religious, he gave the sermons on Sundays at the college and introduced the Westminster Catechism to Williams.
[2] He then served as a pastor at a Presbyterian church, and continued to preach until his death in West Bloomfield, New York.
