    3. I have a printout that my cousin recently gave me from a geneaological publication in either Amherst or Augusta County in the late 1980's. This deals with both the Bartlett and Benjamin mystery and their brother (?) Joseph Hawkins Fitzgerald who went on to KY and Indiana. I don't have the papers with me, but from what I recall, it states that John Joseph (?) Fitzgerald was married apparently 3 times, and had at least 21 children. Joseph may not have been his middle name, as Jos. might have meant John Senior on documents, as an attempt to differentiate him from a John Jr.. John Sr. came from County Cork, Ireland in 1735. My mother had always told me her Fitzgeralds were from Cork, but I had never seen reference to this fact until reading that article. The article does provide a few dates for marriage, and births, and some outline of his movements but I don't recall any more info. It also talks about why the Hawkins last name might have been used by Benj & Bartlett rather than Fitzgerald during the War. I'll try remember to dig up the article, or e-mail my cousin and have her post what she's got. Also, if you are descended from the Fitzgerald line, it would be wonderful to have you send your family info. to Henry Normand, the house geneaologist for the Fitzgerald Family Association. He's got many of the family lines traced, including the Carr, Campbell, Coffey & Colemans. His database is extensive, at the reunion last year I sat down with him and gave him all the pertinent data for my line. His e-mail is [email protected] An appearance at the reunion would also be very welcome from any of the Fitzgerald cousins. Happy Holidays! Nancy Wilson
