He adds a postscript to the letter saying: "My sister dicd a truc penitent of the Church of England."
His sister had come over to America at his instance some years before and married here, but died without children. Other letters to his mother, who it seems was much afflicted with some troubles, which are not mentioned, he writes in a very consoling manner, bidding her regard her sorrows as from Heaven, and thanks her for pious instruction of him. 'His habits were strictly temperate. In writing to a friend who was much afflicted with the gout, he tells him the secret of his freedom from it, viz .: That he never was addicted to the orgies of Bacchus, or to the adoration of Ceres or Venus, never courted unlawful pleasures, avoided feast- ing and the surfcit thereof, and bids him tell the physician this.
Mr. Fitzhugh was not merely a moral man, but a sincerely reli- gious man, beyond the measure of that day. He is not ashamed in one of his legal opinions to quote Scripture as the highest authority. He was a leading member of the Episcopal Church

in his parish. Through him presents of communion plate and other things from English friends were made to the parish. Re- ferring to the unworthiness of many of the ministers who came over from England, he communieated with his friends and with the Bishop of London, asking that sober, reputable, and educated men might be sent over instead of such that did come. All this appears from passages in his letters to England. But, were there none of these letters extant, the following extraet from his will would testify to his sound and evangelieal views of our blessed religion :
(Extract from the will of Colonel William Fitzhugh, of Stafford County. Va., who died in October, 1701. He was the parent of the Fitz- hugh family in Virginia, and the patentee of Ravensworth.)
At a court held for Stafford County, December 10, 1701, present her Majesty's Justices for said county.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Trinity in Unity. Unity in Trinity, Three Persons and One God, blessed forever. Amen.
I, William Fitzhugh, of Stafford County, in Virginia, being by God's grace bound for England, and knowing the frailty and uncertainty of men's lives, and being at present in perfect health and memory, do now ordain, constitute, and appoint, this my last will and testament, revoking all other and former, or other wills, this 5th day of April, 1701.
Inprimis: I commend my soul into the hands of God, through the mediation and intercession of my blessed Saviour and Redeemer, hoping by the merits of his death to have my sins washed away in his blood, nailed to his cross, and buried in his grave, and by his merits and passion to obtain everlasting life; therefore, now do bequeath and dispose such estate as it lias pleased God to bestow in his mercy upon me, after this manner following:
After they have disposed of my body to decent interment, without noise, feasting and drinking, or tumult, which I not only leave to, but enjoin, my executors, hereafter named to see decently performed.
Item: I give and beqneath to my eldest son, William Fitzhugh, all these tracts of land following, etc., etc.
Then follow the bequests to the various members of the family.
William Fitzhugh1 d. in 1701. He left five sons, among whom, at his death, he divided his immense estate-situated mostly in King George, Stafford, Essex, and Fairfax counties. Their names were William, Henry, Thomas, George, and John; and they in- herited the estates of "Eagle's Nest," "Bedford," "Bell Aire," "Boseobell," and "Marmion."

his last illness. He died Fairfax Co., Va., Feb. 6, 1814. (Hayden's Virginia Genealogies, p. 34.)

Dee. 13, 1834) and Elizabeth Goldsborough, his first wife. Mrs. Fitzhugh, b. Nov. 15, 1796; d. April, 1874, without issue. . This branch of the family became extinet in the male line by the death of Wm. H. Fitzhugh, of "Ravensworth." The estate of "Ravensworth" was left to his nephew and namesake, Gen. Wm. Henry Fitzhugh Lee, the second son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, who has recently died.
The following is copied from Bishop Meade's book :
William Henry Fitzhugh was the associate of Bishop Meade at College. He entered life with as fair a prospect for honor and usefulness as any young man in Virginia. Twice only, I (Bishop) believe, did he appear in the legislative halls of our State, and once in a Convention of the same; but such a promise of political distinction was there given that it could not but be felt that a few years would find him in the higher councils of the land. It pleased Providence to interfere, and by a sudden and early death to remove him from this earthly scene. Before this decree of heaven was executed, as if admonished of its coming, he had, after pleading by his pen and voice for the American Colonization Society, directed that all his slaves-amounting, I believe, to about two hundred-should be prepared for and allowed to choose Africa as their home.
Mrs. Mary Custis, of Arlington, the wife of Mr. Washington Custis, grandson of Mrs. General Washington, was the daughter of William Fitz- hugh of Chatham. Scarcely is there a Christian lady in on land more honored than she was, and none more loved and esteemed. For good sense, prudence, sincerity, benevolence, unaffected piety, disinterested zeal ` in every good work, deep humility and retiring modesty,-for all the virtues which adorn the wife, the mother and the friend,-I never knew her superior. A husband still lives to feel her loss. An only daughter, with a numerous family of children, also survives, to imitate, I trust, her blessed example .- (Bishop Mcade.)
After the death of Col. William Fitzhugh, about 1713 or '14, his widow, Ann Lee, married Capt. Daniel MeCarty, Esqr., of the
560

Parish of Cople in the County of Westmoreland. He was born 1679; d. May 4, 1724. His tomb is still to be seen at Old Yeocomieo Church. Captain MeCarty was Burgess, Justice and Sheriff of Westmoreland, in 1715-20; he was Speaker of the Assembly. Ann (Lee Fitzhugh) MeCarty, in her will (dated Nov. 7, 1728, probated Westmoreland, May 31, 1732) mentions her son, Col. Henry Fitzhugh; her brother-in-law, Henry Fitz- hugh ; her brothers, Thomas, Henry, and Richard Lee; her daughter, Lettiee; also Elizabeth, daughter of Maj. John Fitz- hugh ; her sons, Bellington and Thaddeus MeCarty; also her daughter, Sarah Fitzhugh: Col. John Taylor and Sarah Beale.

. My father, Henry Fitzhugh, of Ravenwood, was the eldest son of George Fitzhugh, the fourth son of Col. Henry Fitzhugh, of Bedford, and Sarah Battaile. My mother was the oldest daughter of Nicholas Fitzhugh, the sixth son of Col. Henry Fitzhugh, of Bedford, who filled a very high position as Judge of the District of Columbia; also was honored and loved for his many virtues, pure and holy life. He was educated at William and Mary College. Both of our grandparents on our father's and mother's side-George Fitzhugh and Mary Digges, Nicholas Fitzhugh and Sarah Ashton-were elegant and accomplished people, ornaments to the polished society they adorned. I might write you some account of the distinguished families of Ashton and Digges, but must refer you to Bisnop Meade's book and other sources of information.
HENRIETTA FITZHUGH BARRE.
I give the following from Rev. Norman Fitzhugh; he has, also, kindly sent me his MS., from which the greater part of this Fitzhugh history is taken :
The Rectory, Bramwell, W. Va., April 8, 1899.
I have just completed this practically accurate copy, changing only an occasional form of expression. The letter of Mrs. Henrietta Fitzhugh Barre was, I think, to Mrs. Samuel Fisher Morris, born Martha or (Mattie) Fitzhugh, who lent it to me.
Mr. Morris is a grandson of the financier. They have three daughters, Mary, Martha, and Charlotte Morris.
By this I seem to establish that my grandfather, Norman Fitzhugh (a Marmion Fitzhugh), was the descendant of John Fitzhugh and Miss McCarty, who seem by the order of names to have gotten Marmion,"
(Rev.) NORMAN FITZHUGH MARSHALL.

William Fitzhugh". Married Martha ( Lee) Turberville, the daughter of Richard and Martha Lee, of London, and the widow of George Turberville, of Westmore- land; they had at least one son, George Lee Mason Fitzhugh4, who has left deseendants.
II. John Fitzhugh2 (William1), b. -; d. Jan. 21, 1733. Married Ann Barbara, daughter of Capt. Daniel MeCarty, of Westmoreland Co., Va.
II. Rosamond Fitzhugh2 (William1). Married Col. Allerton, of Westmoreland Co., Va. No issue.
THE MARMION BRANCH OF FITZHUGHIS.
I have eopied the following from Rev. Norman Fitzhugh Mar- shall's manuseript without any alteration :
Major John Fitzhugh2, fifth son of William1, the first settler, inherited under his father's will two thousand two hundred and seventy-thrce aeres of land, seven negroes, eight pieces of silver plate, £120 sterling, ete., ete. "Marmion" estate was ineluded in the above. He purchased one thousand two hundred aeres ad- . joining "Marmion," from John Dish, of London. This John Fitzhugh married Ann Barbara MeCarty, daughter of Capt. Daniel MeCarty, Speaker of the House of Burgesses. Her mother unknown, but at her death Capt. MeCarty married Mary Ann Lee Fitzhugh, daughter of Richard Lee and widow of Col. William Fitzhugh2, eldest brother of Maj. John2.
It is necessary to use great eare in regard to Daniel MeCarty Fitzhugh, there being three persons of that name, between 1760- 1786, and there may have been more, viz .: Daniel MeCarty Fitz- hugh, son of William3 Fitzhugh and Ursula Beverley, and grand- son of John Fitzhugh and Ann Barbara MeCarty; his unele Daniel MeCarty Fitzhugh, and Daniel MeCarty Fitzhugh, b. May 9, 1763; d. May 2, 1823, without issue. The latter was the tenth son of John Fitzhugh2 and Aliee Thornton, his wife, of the "Bed- ford-Belle Air," braneh. All these were known to their intimates as MeCarty.
Very little information ean be seeured regarding the "Marmion" braneh, John2 and MeCarty. One writer says that it is impossible to traee this branch further than the third generation down from the first settler; another, that the male line apparently beeame
565
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
extinet in the fourth generation. "But," says Mr. Horaee Fitz Hugh, of New York City, who has spent great pains and research on the Fitzhugh genealogy, "they are wrong, for I have found many names that ean be traeed from the fifth generation baek through the 'Marmion' line, to the first settler. Also many names and dates that I believe belong to that line, but am unable to traee them elearly."
They are undoubtedly wrong, for the Marshalls, the Corses, Maj. Norman R. Fitzhugh, of Pieeolatah, Florida, and Capt. Norman R. Fitzhugh, his son, of Green Cove Springs, Florida, have a elearly maintained family tradition, that they are of the "Marmion" line. This tradition is sustained by the Frisby of Sassafras River, and the Henderson of Scotland genealogieal trees, which show intermarriages with the "Marmion" line. Besides, the Henderson eup in possession of Miss Edith G. Corse, of Jaekson- ville, Florida, her brother Montgomery owns a copy of "Ridus," 1676, British Museum, a most valuable heirloom in which the entries of the descendants of James and Sarah Frisby have been kept to the present (1902-1905).
The Marmion branch of Fitzhugh family tree, as per my data, is as follows :
I. William Fitzhugh1, of "Bedford," b. January 9, 1657. Married Sarah Tueker, b. August 2, 1663; they were married May 1, 1674; d. Oet. 1704. Issue :
