Fitzhugh, An American Family
This
is a collection of data accumulated since 1969 from various sources, including
the web pages, books, newspapers, court house documents, and individuals (both
Fitzhugh and non-Fitzhugh), etc.
My
purpose is track the male Fitzhugh line from William Fitzhugh the Immigrant to
present day Fitzhugh. Due to some security fears I have not included anyone I
have identified as Tenth generation and on except where data shows them with
the Ninth generation descendants (usually obituaries provide this). I do not
trace female Fitzhugh, other than husbands, due to the practical aspect of creating
a jungle versus just a nice tree with many branches.
A
few of the male Fitzhugh have no children indicated and where I was able to
find a determination of no children I designate them on my Master Fitzhugh Chart
as:
End of the Line
You
may have seen this chart at the Fitzhugh Reunions in Fredericksburg. What I
need is knowledge of the many families where no descendants are listed.
I would like to receive more data and corrections
to the data.
My
email address is jftzhgh1@comcast.net.
Please put in subject line: The Fitzhugh Tree
Personally: it would be fun to hear from
other Fitzhugh aficionados.

apparently to try his fortune, and settled in Westmoreland County, Eagles

Notwithstanding conflicting opinions in the eighteenth century, it can here be positively and authoritatively stated that the William Fitzhugh in question was the renowned lawyer who represented Lord Culpeper in various real estate transactions with this country, and that he purchased thousands and thousands of acres of land from Lord Culpeper when he (Culpeper) held a grant from King Charles for the whole of Virginia. A letter from William Fitzhugh written to his afflicted mother in 1694 has bee preserved [where?????] with sacred care from generation to generation as a most remarkable production, abounding deeply in pious declarations of faith in God, teeming with touching exhortations and beautiful with pleas for higher Christianity and purer morals among men of that day.

was known as 'Blind Henry' because he had one bad eye, which evident in his

portrait of Captain Henry Fitzhugh when Henry was sixty-four. It is said that
although Fitzhugh had a sight impairment, he was still a man of dignity and
character. Henry was impeccably groomed and dressed. His character was
developed early. Henry was tutored since age three by an immigrant Frenchman,
and until age eleven when he was sent to England for further education, Henry
could only read and write in French. Instructions stated that Henry was to be
furnished with clothing "fit & decent" rather than "rich and
gaudy." Although Henry was a second son, Henry so distinguished himself as
a scholar that he was willed half his father's large library. In turn he
dutifully served in both county government and at Williamsburg, bringing credit
to the family. He inherited the

William
Fitzhugh
(August 24, 1741 June 6, 1809) was an American planter and statesman who
served as a delegate to the Continental Congress for Virginia in 1779. [1]
Fitzhugh
and his wife, Ann
Bolling Randolph
(1747-1805), built Chatham Manor on property across
the Rappahannock River from Fredericksburg,
Virginia,
between 1768 and 1771. It still stands today as the National Park
Service
Headquarters for the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania
National Military Park.
The Fitzhughs lived a lavish life there that included experimental farming and
horse racing. After the Revolutionary War, as the economy
floundered, Fitzhugh sold Chatham Manor and 1,288 acres (5.2 km²) to Churchill
Jones for $20,000.
About
1799, William Fitzhugh bought the house in 607 Oronoco St., Alexandria, Virginia, that has become
known as "The Boyhood Home of Robert E. Lee." The house was
built in 1795 by John Potts, Jr. After William Fitzhugh's death, it then passed
to William Henry
Fitzhugh,
his only son, and was rented to the Lee family.
Fitzhugh
had built another mansion, Ravensworth, in 1796, where North
Springfield, Virginia,
is now located. This was his country home, with the Alexandria one being his
townhouse. Ravensworth stood until about 1925, when it burned under mysterious
circumstances.[2]
William
Fitzhugh and George Washington visited one another
frequently until Washington's death in 1799, with Washington mentioning
Fitzhugh in his diary and the two serving together on the Pohick Church vestry[3]. Fitzhugh was the
last person that Washington visited outside of Mount Vernon before his death.
He was
chosen as an elector for the 1789 election from Westmoreland
District [4]. That District
consisted of King George County, Lancaster County, Northumberland
County,
Richmond County, Stafford County and Westmoreland County, which cover the area
between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers[5]. All of the 10
electors who voted cast one of their two votes for George Washington. 5 of them
cast their other vote for John Adams. 3 cast theirs for George Clinton. 1 cast his for John Hancock. 1 cast his for John Jay [6]. In a letter written
by James Madison to Thomas Jefferson on 29th March 1789, 'Mr W Fitzhugh of
Chatham' is described as a Federalist [7]
He was
the great-grandson of immigrant Colonel
William Fitzhugh who came to Virginia in about 1671 and owned
54,000 acres (220 km²) when he died in 1701. William of Chatham inherited most
of the land. As a child he suffered the loss of an eye when accidentally hit
with a whip by one of his stepbrothers.
In 1804
Fitzhugh's daughter Mary Lee Fitzhugh was married in the
parlor of the Alexandria townhouse to George
Washington Parke Custis, grandson of Martha Dandridge Custis Washington and adopted grandson
of George Washington. In 1831 their daughter, Mary Anna Randolph
Custis,
married Robert E. Lee.
Fitzhugh
died five years later at the age of 69, leaving behind his three children. He
was initially buried at Ravensworth, but when the mansion was destroyed, his
remains and gravestone were moved to the Pohick Church graveyard.

never married. In his will, he acknowledged that he was the father of five

in May 1823. Researcher's Note: Her age at the time of the 1800 census
was recorded as being between 26 and 44, making her birth year sometime between
1756 and 1774. Her last child was born in 1823, and she would have been about
49 years old. Therefore, her year of birth is most likely closer to 1774. She

A recent internet advertisement writes:
Black sheep fall into two categories, those we talk about and those we don't. The more distance time places between us, the more likely we are to admit to their existence. It is often difficult for the researcher to obtain information about a particular branch of a family because of the reticence of those who don't want to talk about certain family members. These prodigals sometimes disappear from the family tree or are listed without progeny. Such is the case of Daniel McCarty Fitzhugh who was the tenth child of John and Alice Thornton Fitzhugh and the great grandson of the immigrant William Fitzhugh. Much has been published about the Fitzhugh family and many of the published Fitzhugh genealogies state that William was a lifelong bachelor who died without heirs. However, in his will (reproduced) recorded in King George Will Book 3 he names five children whom he had by "Elizabeth Cullom, my housekeeper." William left an extensive estate to his children and this compilation follows each child to the present generation. Although specific documentation (book and page number) is not always provided, the author carefully presents the records which support and do not support a specific connection. The text is well-written and easy to follow and the numerous pictures of the early generations make this a family treasure.

Robert Munford provided that should Fitzhugh died without issue, he would
reconvey the land to his cousin William Munford. Yet Fitzhugh deeded the tract to
minor William
Munford 22 April 1784. William Munford was born 15 August

Matross was a soldier of artillery, who ranked next below a gunner. The duty of a matross was to assist the gunners in loading, firing and sponging the guns. They were provided with firelocks, and marched with the store-wagons, acting as guards. In the American army a matross ranked as a private of artillery.
Edward Carrington (February 11, 1748 October 28, 1810) was an American soldier and statesman from Virginia. He was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Continental Army, serving as Quartermaster to General Nathanael Greenes Southern campaign. He commanded artillery at the Battle of Hobkirk's Hill and the siege of Yorktown.Virginia sent Carrington as a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1786 to 1788. George Washington appointed Carrington as the first U.S. Marshal for Virginia, a position he held from 1789 to 1791. He later served as foreman of the jury when Aaron Burr was tried for treason in 1807. He was also mayor of Richmond for two terms in 1807-1808 and 1809-1810.

Furnace along Little Deer Creek in Elk Township. It was built in 1842 by
William B. Fitzhugh(jac). In 1850 it was owned by W. B. Fetzer(s&t/ajd). It
was a small furnace, 22' high with a 7-1/2' bosh, powered by water. It produced
700 tons in 1845, 1000 tons in 1847, but only 400 tons in 1854, being abandoned
