Would William Andrew FITZGERALD and William R. FITZGERALD have been
related to John F. FITZGERALD born Sept. 1849. He married Alwilda Ellen
"Weldie" MITCHELL, daughter of William Bennett MITCHELL and Jane Wallace
Waters, abt 1871 in GA. She was born Nov. 1846 in Forsyth Co. GA.
They came to TX and were living in Johnson County, TX, ED 82 in the 1880
census. If there was a connection between these Fitzgeralds, perhaps
they also may have come to TX.
