George Fenwick, the only Warwick Patentee to settle in Saybrook, arrived there in 1639 to become its second Governor and replace Lion Gardiner. With his wife and son, two sisters, and servants, he lived in the great hall within the fort. Lady Alice Fenwick, the auburn-haired widow of a nobleman, died the next year while giving birth to a daughter and was buried inside the fort. Governor Fenwick sold the Saybrook Colony to Hartford in 1644 for an annual payment of 180 pounds, divided equally among good wheat, peas, and rye or barley, and the Saybrook seal eventually became the present official seal of the State of Connecticut. The brownstone monument over Lady Fenwick's grave was made by the stonecutter Mathew Griswold, who received a large gift of land across the River in Old Lyme in return for agreeing that his family would perpetually care for the grave. In 1647 Gardiner's fort burned to the ground, and a new, less elaborate fort was built nearer the River. George Fenwick returned to England the next year and died March 15, 1637. Lady Fenwick was moved to Cypress Cemetery when the railroad was built in 1870.
