Surnames: Fitzwater Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GdW.2ACIB/244 Message Board Post: I recently found the delayed birth registration for Adam G. Fitzwater. On the registration, dated 4 Dec 1947, it states he has had his name legally changed from Adam G. Fitzwater to George Russell. It states his father was Abraham H. Fitzwater and mother was Susan Hardway. So, he did not die in 1945 as per the Fitzwater book. And, he did not die in Oregon under either name that I can locate. Does anyone know when/where he really did die? Or where he is buried?

Well my brickwall is still my elusive Eli Fitzwater, that appeared in 1860 signed up with the TX Rangers for 6 months then almost vanished. He is credited with marrying a Martha (Mattie) Calloway circa 1862 and having a son named Thomas Fitzwater b.abt 1864. I have found no documentation about this Fitzwater since, supposedly he might have been from KY. For in the 1900 census, his son Tom stated that his father was from KY, no family has yet to claim this Eli. Well that is one my brickwalls, hope others have better luck with their walls. Dave :o>

Hi! I'll be simple & just post the basic: Mary Elizabeth Fitzwater married Frederick Boorom 1865 in Warren Co. OH. Her parents were Thomas Fitzwater & Augusta Stiles. Am interested in Fitzwaters from Warren, Clermont & Hamilton Co.'s OH as I attempt to document my husband's Fitzwater ancestry. Linda Boorom Cincinnati
