      Nancy Fitzgerald and husband Thomas Fitzgerald - Petition for Divorce, Caswell County, N.C. NC General Assembly Session Records Nov-Dec 1811 Box 3: Petition of Nancy Fitzgerald of Caswell County, North Carolina represents that she intermarried with a certain Thomas Fitzgerald with whom she lived about six years, and by whom she had three children. Her said husband eventually gave in to intoxication and other kinds of dissipation and extravagance, and "after spending the whole of his property, left your petitioner and children in a lamentable situation dependent wholly upon the benevolence of her father, and fled to the State of Kentucky, where he has, or is about to marry another woman, as appears from a letter accompanying this petition." Prays for a law securing to her such property as she may hereafter acquire by industry or otherwise. Divorce Granted!
