| Name: Finch, John |
| Born: |
| Died: |
| |
| Notes: |
| Di Felice has John Finch, but La Grande Storia degli Scacchi has James Gayler Finch. However, the latter seems to have been born in 1840. In 'The First American Chess Congress' (p.401), Fiske gives 'I. Finch' if this is the same person. Staunton has 'John Finch' in the Chess Player's Chronicle of Mar. 1849 (p.66). |
