Lillie M. born. 1902 Linn Co. Oregon.and can you give me info on Father James Fitzwater's parents- and birth date for Greenberry. thank you --Pauline.

To start with, all of the Sylvesters in the Bellinger cemetery (where these folks are buried) spell their names with the Y [Sylvester]. James Varner Fitzwater and Nancy Ann Duncan are the parents of Mary Evelyn and Addie Veldora. The Sylvester you seek is actually (from documents found here) Lulu Mary Sylvester. She married the Greenberry Fitzwater, the son of James and Nancy above. They had one daughter, Lillie M., b. 1902 in Linn Co., OR. The transcription of the Bellinger cemetery is online through Linn Co. Or GenWEb site. You might check that out.

All, Since we all know this happens.... I wanted to let you know the errors I have found in the Fitzwater book so that you can correct your copies! These are minor at best, but for accuracies sake, will ask you to correct page and index in your copy of Fitzwater Families to America book. On page 776, referring to first full sentence: Viola Frances Crossman. It SHOULD BE the surname of GROSSMAN. Please adjust your copy and the index with this correction. As well all begin to make time to pour over our copies, please make time, if you find an error, to also notify this list! We all want our copies to reflect as true a picture as possible. AND, if you find you have further information on a line than Katheryn has, please send her your documentation so that she can update her database. Thanks! Leslie Lawson Fitzwater List Admin.
