From Barbara Roadhouse - "Mrs. Julia Stevens of Bertie Township rendered most efficient aid as a nurse during the last two weeks of Mr. Fitzgerald's Illness." - This line from Gerald England Fitzgerald's (born 1825 in Bertie died 1904 in Haldimand County) Obituary. We didn't at the time know the maiden name of his mother, but now have documents to show she was Sophia Stevens born 1805 in Bertie Township. She married Thomas England Fitzgerald c1824. We have never found a marriage record, could have married in Buffalo. It would be 1½ hour drive to Bertie, so in the day when there were no autos, the relationship must have been close. The Fitzgeralds were in Haldimand in the 1840s
