"In "God‘s Acre" at the "Dutch Congregation of Abbotts Creek", "The Church of the Pilgrims", "Leonard's Church", are buried twelve Revolutionary War Patriots:
Valentine Leonard, John George Clodfelter, Michael Leonard,
Philip Leonard, Nicholas Michael, Jacob Leonard,
Peter Everhart, Capt. John Peter Lopp, George Fritz,
Valentine Leonard, Jr., Adam Hedrick, Wooldrich Fritz
Go, my friends, and work for the Lord. The pay isn't much but the retirement is out of this world."
On Thursday, May 8, 1783, two year after Wooldrich death we find the Fritz family mentioned in court records "Letters of Administration on Estate of Frederick Fritz, deceased, Ordered to issue to Jennett and George Fritz, Security by Joseph Cunningham and John Willson in the amount of 100 specie and qualified according to Law." Then on Friday, August 8, 1783, "Inventory of the state of Frederick Fritz filed by administrators." (NO inventory was actually listed).24
Wooldrich's widow, Janet as her name appeared in the Virginia documents of 1753 is spelled "Jennett" in the North Carolina Estate papers of 1783. She has possibly been found on only three other occasions. There is the possibility that Janet [and by no means a proven fact] may in the 1790 census be in the home of her son George. The 1790 census is a numbers game, listing only numbers. In George, Sr.'s (1753) case there were five females and he would have only had his wife, Mary and two daughters Rachel and Mary, at the time. So this leaves the possibility that his mother, Janet and younger sister, Jean were with him.
What happened to Janet in her later years is not known. We have not been able to find a church record or a tombstone marker for her. We are aware that many of the old stones at Pilgrim are no long there and its possible she was bur. near her husband.
