My ancestor, Thomas Fitzgerald was a baker in Skippack, Montgomery County, PA. His wife's name was Susanna. Thomas was born 18 November 1754 and died 19 February 1815. His wife was born 13 January 1762 and died 5 May 1842. Unfortunately, there is nothing further known about her. Thomas, according to the diary of Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, was born in Pennsylvania but of Irish Extraction. At this time it is not definite as to who his father was. It is very likely that his father was Patrick, an immigrant from Cork, Ireland who worked on Nicholas Oblinger's farm to pay for his passage. This website is devoted to the descendents of Thomas & Susanna Fitzgerald. I am very interested in information regarding all Montgomery County Fitzgeralds, particularly from the eastern area ~ Norristown and upwards. Please contact me if you have any info to share. I will reciprocate with the information that I have gathered. |
