Hi Deb - William Fitzwilliam and Jane McCully had a son named William who was born 13 July 1813 in Pennsylvania. He married Hannah Kelly on 7 May 1839 in Bainbridge Ohio. He died 10 Jan 1880 in Bloomington IL and is buried there with his wife and children, one of whom was my Great Grandfather, Francis J. Fitzwilliam. According to the history of McLean Count IL on page 1186 the William Manning Fitzwilliam who married Jane McCully was born in County Antrim, Ireland in 1761. His father, James, was sent to Ireland to superintend the linen mills owned by his (James's) father, an English Earl, presumably another William Fitzwilliam. While in Ireland, James married a beautiful Irish quakeress displeasing the English father to the extent that he cut him off with a dowry of 1000 pounds per annum which was to continue until his death. He died at age 35 and the penniless widow and five children, three daughters and two sons, John and William came to America about 1750 and settled in Washington County, PA. Crawford
