FENWICK, George, colonist, died in England in 1657. He came to America in 1636 to take charge of the Saybrook plantation, so named after Lords Say and Brook, who with others procured a patent for the territory from Robert, Earl of Warwick, in 1632. After a visit to England he came back in 1639, and henceforth, as patentee and agent for the others, governed and superintended the settlement till 1644, when he sold its jurisdiction and territory to the Connecticut colony for £1,600. His wife died at Saybrook, and her monument is still to be seen there near the fort. Fenwick was afterward a colonel in the parliamentary army, and was one of the judges of Charles I.
