Fritz, Wooldrich Frederich

- 1782

• Name	Fritz, Wooldrich Frederich
  Gender	Male
  Death	1782	North Carolina, United States
  Notes	Name: Wooldrich Frederich Frits First knowledge of Wooldrich is through a legal document in Augusta County, Virginia on March 21, 1759, when William McGee is summoned to pay freedom dues to his late servant Frederick Frits. Also on that same day, William McGee is to pay freedom dues to his late servant Janet Frits, wife of Frederick Frits.” Wooldrich would have been about twenty-seven years of age when he received his "freedom dues" from William McGee, it is our opinion that he and his wife, Janet indentured themselves to obtain money in order to establish the family in the Shenandoah valley.” (Records of Augusta Co., VA, 1745-1800, pp. 235—236.) Hans Ulrich and Wooldrich (Frederick) Fritz are found listed as father and son in the Charlotte Observer Newspaper article, Five Generations In One N.C. Family ”Shot" At One Sitting, the photograph included William Fritz (1843) and members of his family. The article was written by Rev. Jacob C. Leonard, D.D., and appeared on Sunday, August 21, 1932. It indicated that Wooldrich arrived in America on the ship "Elizabeth" at the Port of Philadelphia. We have found that Hans Ulrich Fritz was listed as the father of Wooldrich Fritz in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) records Nos. 269266 and 539883, for Wooldrich Fritz and George Fritts, Sr., respectively. Also, that George, Sr. was the son of Wooldrich. It has and is taken for fact from this article, from Port of Philadelphia shipping records for 1738, and from an affidavit written by William Fritz in 1929, that Hans and Wooldrich were father and son. It is presumed that Rev. Jacob C. Leonard, D.D. received his material, from Wooldrich's grandson William Fritz (1843) who was discussed in the article.
