Notities over Colonel William FitzHugh Colonel

[Kellie Crnkovich.ged]

William (son of John "Marmion" FitzHugh)  rose to become a member of the VA House of Burgesses, like his father and grandfather, and was there privileged to witness one of the most far reaching events to occur in the New World.  It was in 1765 when Patrick Henry, a firey orator, revolutionary, (and also a direct ancestor of ours through the marriage of his granddaughter to Philip FitzHugh, William's grandson, offered his Resolution against the Stamp Act.       The following year, 1766, William had the pleasure of a visit at Marmion from Thomas Jefferson.  (Hist. of the F. Family)

1787 Census:  King George Co. listed William and sons Daniel, Phil, Theodoric, Beverly

Col William FitzHugh built the present mansion at the Marmion Estate. (I think that this is wrong and that it was build about the time of William's birth by his father Major John FitzHugh.)  The living room of this house is now in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

According to the DAR PATRIOT INDEX, 1990, William FitzHugh had Patriotic Service during the Rev.

There is recorded in King George a deed dated May 31, 1786, from William FitzHugh, of Marmion, and Hannah his wife.  Also a deed dated March 6, 1780, from William FitzHugh, of King George Co., conveying to his son Daniel FitzHugh, 1,200 acres "where Rappahannock Quarter now stands," purchase by John FitzHugh, father of said William from John Lisle, merchant, of London, by deed dated October 26, 1725, and recorded in Lancaster Co., July 13, 1726.  He was probably the William FitzHugh, Jr., who was major in the Stafford militia in 1752 (Cal. Va. State Papers).  It is possible that he, instead of William FitzHugh, afterwards of Maryland (who, as appears from a deed, lived in Cople parish, Westmoreland, in 1744), was burgess for Stafford 1748 and 1751.  His will was dated March 13, 1789, and proved in King George June 2, 1791.  Legatees: to wife her clothes, all her jewels, her gold watch, such furniture, plate and books as she should choose, the coach and horses, eight slaves, and, during her widowhood, the Marmion plantation mansion, with houses, gardens, orchards, a supply of groceries, &c., and also 60 pounds per annum.  He states that he had provided for his sons, Daniel (McCarty) and Theoderick.  Gives son John the negroes he had lent him.  To son Philip the remainder of the estate not otherwise bequeathed.  If son Robert should return to the State he is to have one shilling, "because at the commencement of the late war he quitted the business I had allotted for his living, since which I have heard nothing from him.'  Son William Beverley FitzHugh, two negroes.  Daughter Lucy Campbell 600 pounds, Daughter Elizabeth 500 pounds if she marries, if not 25 pounds per year.  Same provision for daughter Anna.  Bequests to daughters Sall, Molly and Maria, and daughter Finch.  William Hooe, of "Pine Hill,' and "my son-in-law" Alexander Campbell, executors.  (Virginia Historical Magazine)

William FitzHugh, son of John and Anna Barbara FitzHugh, was baptized on May 14, 1725.  God Fathers: Colonel John Tayloe and Daniel McCarty.  God Mothers: Madam Sarah McCarty and Winwood (sic) McCarty.
Westmoreland Co., VA.  Book V. p. 510 show that "John FitzHugh of Stafford Country, Gent." married Anna Barbara, the eldest daughter of Daniel McCarty, Gent., of Westmoreland county before or about Dec. 5, 1715.  (_St Paul's Parish Register 1715-1798_ compiled by John Bailey Calvert Nicklin, p. 75, note 18)

In 1797 Marmion was purchased by Major George Lewis (1757-1821), nephew of George Washington, and is now in possession of his descendant Mrs. Robert Carter Nicholas Grymes (nee Lucy Lewis)---
this info is dated 1961.  Doctor Robert Wellford (1753-1823), physician of Fredericksburg, was several days at Marmion attending Catherine (Daingerfield) Lewis (1764-1820), wife of Major George Lewis, in her last illness.  As Doctor Wellford sat by the fire in the little parlour at Marmion on a cold day in February 1820 he wrote in his diary, reflecting upon former days:
"At the particular desire of Mrs. Lewis I remained the whole day in the house and slept on the subsequent night once more and for the last time in the little parlour in which room in time past I have witnessed such sociality and more merriment that in any other room in the whole course of my life. ....
Mr. William FitzHugh, the hospitable owner of the mansion (Marmion) and the estate surrounding same, his sons, his brother Daniel, and his son William; the Rev. Thomas Thornton; that truly respectable Gentleman, the late William FitzHugh (of Chatham); Mr. Grymes of the Wilderness and his namesake of Eagle's Nest; Mr. Robert Allison; Mr. John McCoy (with the musicians, Victor, Olliver, &c. in the subordinate range of assembly) formed a group not often collected together in the Northern Neck of Virginia.  But they are all gone and 'the place that hath known them shall know them no more.'  The worthy proprietors of this most hospitable mansion are also removed from the cares of this world and are (I sincerely hope) at rest in Heaven although the place of their interment in the Graveyard of the Old Orchard cannot (from the changes that have occurred) be easily found by their former friends and acquaintances." (The Register of Overwharton Parish compiled by King, p. 227.)
(This line continues down through Solomon.)
