Adam Hitchcock (b. 16??)
Little is currently known of the life of Adam Hitchcock, the sixth great grandfather of film director Alfred Hitchcock.
He was born in Essex — probably in Dedham — sometime in the first quarter of the 17th century.
As Adam is the only Hitchcock named in the earliest surviving parish records from Dedham, the baptismal record for daughter Susan indicates he was married twice and his first wife was named Susan. The records also give his surname as "Hitchcocke" , "Hitchecoke" and "Hitchkock".
His second wife was given as a widow at the time of her death in 1695, meaning Adam died before then.
