William FITZ-GERALD

1729 - 1813  (84 years)

• Name	William FITZ-GERALD  [1]
  	He became involved in the political troubles of the times, was several times prosecuted for his connection therewith, and, although he escaped conviction through the influence of powerful friends, (particularly one Mr. flood, a wealthy and influential gentleman of the neighborhood, who had a great friendship for him) he thought it wise, in order to avoid further annoyance, to leave the country for a time. He accordingly came to America with the intention of returning in a year or two, after the trouble had blown over. It fell out quite otherwise, however, for he married Hannah Driscoll and settled on a large farm in the township of Warwick, Orange County, New York. He was prominent in the affairs of his town and held town office between 1765 and 1775. His homestead was in Dutch Hollow, near the township line of Warwick. [1]
