GENEALOGY COLUMN OF THE BOSTON TRANSCRIPT: A. March 16, 1921: "5. FITZGERALD. Ancestry wanted of Edward FitzGerald, who was born in Ireland, and came to this country prior to 1734, married Mehitable Uran, sister of John Uran of Boscawen, N. H. He lived in Boscawen many years, and is supposed to belong to famous Irish family of FitzGerald." B. June 16, 1930: "FITZGERALD. Edward Fitzgerald, born in Ireland, 1718, went from Newbury, Mass., to Boscawen, N. H. in company with John Corser, and was one of the first settlers there. He married, 1740, Mehitable Urann, daughter of Richard Urann of Haverhill and Penacook, New Hampshire. The History of Boscawen states that he was an officer in the Military Company there in 1743. The Corser Genealogy states that the Fitzgeralds of Boscawen were of the same family as the Duke of Leinster. All family traditions are to the effect that this is a royal line. Is this Edward Fitzgerald a brother of James, Duke of Leinster?

Edward married Mehitable Uran. (Mehitable Uran was born before 1745.)
