I really need help finding my Fitzhugh line. My grandmother's name was Molly Cathrine Phitchue. Her parents were A (possibly Agbert or Egbert) Fitzhugh and Elizabeth (Betty) Byrd or Bird or maybe even Bummard. There seems to be some mystery involving my ggreat father, hence the spelling change in the name from Fitzhugh to Phitchue. He supposedly changed his name when he came to Carroll County AR. I don't know where, when or why he moved to AR. The rumor mill back then was that he may have been running away from something or someone. My info is very limited. Molly Catherine must have been born around 1890. She had at least 6 siblings - John, Ella, Josie,Perry(Short, he was a penicostal minister) Jim and William.She married James Fredrick Tunnell in AR around 1910. I am also having problems finding any record of my grandfather Tunnell. I know that he had 3 brothers, George, Tazwell, and Nick. I am pretty sure that his father was James Wesley Tunnell born in Carthage MO june 12 1854.If anyone has information which could help me with either the Fitzhugh or Tunnell line, I would greatly appreciate it. My father's parents died while he was quite young and he knew very little about his roots.
