    Notes:

    Name:
    CAPT. GEORGE FRITTS, son of John (1780) and Rebecca (Younts) Fritts, born 23 January 1807, in North Carolina. George's tombstone lists him as a Captain, how or why the title we do not know. Capt. George died when still a very young man at the age of 37y-2m-21d on 13 April 1844. He was buried at the Jersey Baptist Church Cemetery near Linwood, Davidson County, North Carolina. Jacob Long was appointed Administrator of George's estate in August, 1844. Elizabeth Fritts applied for "one years support as the widow of George Fritts on 17 August 1844." George was married sometime in the early 1830's to (we believe) Elizabeth Long. At the time of his death he had five daughters, who were all listed by name in their Grandmother Rebecca Fritts's Will. George's wife, Elizabeth, was, we feel, the daughter of Jacob and Barbara (Lopp) Long. Elizabeth was born @12 December 1814 in North Carolina. She died 21 November 1890 at age 76y-11m-9d. She was buried next to her first husband Capt. George Fritts, at Jersey Baptist Church Cemetery, as are her parents and also one daughter, Susan (Fritts) Hix. Elizabeth then married John Cornelison, Jr. 25 March 1846 (date of bond), in David- son County, North Carolina. He was appointed guardian of George's five daughters in August 1846. John was born @1813 in North Carolina and died sometime after 1860. John and Elizabeth had five children and in the 1860 census he is listed as a farmer with his real estate value at $1200.00 and personal estate valued at $1400.00.
