  Anne Bissett married Thomas Fitzgerald after the death of Andrew Bisset. It is not known where they were married. Thomas Fitzgerald of Philadelphia submitted a Loyalist claim in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. This claim was for 120 pounds. Bell has Thomas Fitzgerald arriving with the Spring Fleet in April, 1783 as one adult male, one adult female and one child over ten. Thomas Fitzgerald partitioned with Cornelius Dalley and 56 others for 10,200 acres of land at Grand Lake. He was granted 200A., lot 14 at Avon, Canning Parish, Queens Co., 3 June 1786. -(Vol 1, # 47) Avon is on Grand Lake near Minto and across from Bissett Point (Cumberland/Cox). In 1792 Isaac Bell and others deed 700 acres at Cumberland Point, Queens County to Thomas Fitzgerald. In 1793 Thomas Fitzgerald and wife Anne deed 350 acres at Cumberland Point to William Bissett. In 1799 Thomas and Ann Fitzgerald deed and mortgage to Bradford Gilbert and Thomas Hanford, 700 acres at Cumberland Point.

As told by Margaret3, William 2, Andrew 1 Back from the south and have found a old note that my mother typed. It relates to what her grandmother requested she write down. Her grandfather came from Scotland: went directly to Virginia in 1812, he was a Lieutenant in the War of 1812 and died there. His wife was a Perth from Scotland, they were watchmakers. Their son my grandmother's father settled in St. John for the winter; then went to Bissetts Point. He sold out there and settled up the Kennebecasis River at Chapel Grove. There were sixteen children: Benjamin who drowned while skating on the river; John a Sea Captain was lost while taking a ship laden with passengers and all else off Bermuda enroute to California. Elisha a sea Capt. was killed by his crew during a mutiny and buried at sea. He had assumed the name Thomas Elisha Whitney as a boy to allow him to ship out underage. He had promoted one of his men to 1st Mate and the crew ebelled resulting in his death. Charles went to the pearlfisheries in Australia and married there. His wife died at sea and he in Australia. He left his estate to his niece (perhaps Lida M.W.Ray) Five children died in infancy. There were three girls, Marion, Margaret(my grandmother) and Harriot. My mothers maiden name was Wadsley.
