DAVID FITZGERALD was born circa May,1827 [1900 census], perhaps in York, Maine, his
parentage not yet researched. He died some time after the 1910 census was taken (death rec
not looked up yet). He is buried in the "Fitzgerald lot" on Mountain Rd in York,ME [YCCI p2384],
the only one listed in this location. There are several other Fitzgerald lots on Mountain Rd,
which are likely relatives.
On 1 Nov, 1849 in York, ME David married RUTH A RAMSDELL, also of York [NEHGR v119 p287]. She was born ca 1820 (age 40 in 1860). She died prior to the 1900 census, her parents and burial place unknown.
David was a farmer, and is seen living in York, Maine throughout the 1850-1910 censuses for this town. He filed for a pension on 15 July, 1890 (app #818,347 cert #619836).
David and Ruth perhaps had at least three children. As earlier censuses do not show relationships, the two girls are not yet proven to be their children yet:
