Sure enough, Dr. Abe Lavender had a copy that had been packed away. We consulted with Ione Woodall who, perhaps, conducted the most dedicated research of Fitzpatricks, and this is her interpretation of the Will of Edward Fitzpatrick, dated 5 Nov. 1781, Craven Co., N.C. "Edward's wife was apparently his second wife ... Edward's children were Daniel, who apparently died before the will was written, Manoah, Menan, Peter and Micajah, Mary (probably married to James Coleman) and Annah. The Manoah of Sumter District, SC was the son of Daniel, not the son of Edward." Ione added, "I believe that sometime between 1781, when Edward wrote his will, and 1790, Peter moved to Sumter District, SC, and Micajah, my ancestor, moved over to Pitt Co., N.C. where he probably married." Only reference on the will is P 99-100. ---------------- Hope that helps, Steve Coker ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
