  • Notes 
    • HENRY FITZHUGH was born in 1614 in Bedford, Bedfordshire County, England to William Fitzhugh & Margaret Smith.

      Henry married Mary King (daughter of Rev. Giles King) circa 1639 in Bedford, Bedfordshire County, England, and They had NINE children that are known of:

      Anne Fitzhugh (1639-?),
      Margaret Fitzhugh-[Unknown] (1640-1676),
      Susan Fitzhugh-Varney (1642-?),
      Mary Fitzhugh (1643-?),
      Dorothy Fitzhugh-(M1)Smith-(M2)Luke (1644-1694),
      Elizabeth Fitzhugh (1645-1646),
      Henry Fitzhugh (1650-?),
      William Fitzhugh (1651-1701), and
      Thomas Fitzhugh (?-died in London).

      Henry was a Woolen Draper by profession. It is documented that he was a Member of the Council 1648 - 1649; the Mayor of Bedford, England in 1649; and served as an Alderman 1650 - 29 September 1665. There was a portrait made of Henry Fitzhugh circa 1634, which ecame part of his son William Fitzhugh's estate, and today is part of the Virginia Historical Society's holdings.
