  • Notes 
    • ..."Son of John Fitz, MP and Mary Fitz Husband of Gertrude Courtenay Father of Walter Abraham Fitts, I and Mary Fitz Brother of Honor Carnsewehn Fitz", (b 1556), (see above) and a "Gertrude Courtenay" in Tavistock, Devon. This couple is listed as the parents of a" Walter Fitts", born about 1577, who in turn is listed as the parent of a "Bridget Fitts", born about 1614, a "Robert Fitts" (see above), and a "Richard Fitts", all of Tavistock, Devonshire. (Walter's wife'sname is not mentioned, but marriage record dated as being around 1600).hire, instead of Walter Fitts and his un-named wife?born about 1558, Tavistock, Devon, the daughter of a William Courtenay.rtenay (married 1575).Is "John Fitz" a relative/brother of "Walter Fitts/Fitz", who also married a Courtenay family member? Very confusing !!!!I am going under my first evidence that Bridget Fitts is a daughter of Walter and his un-named wife, and that Bridget Fitts, our ancestor perhaps was named after an Aunt, named Bridget Mary Gertrude Courtenay..." - Elwin John Mehlbrech, II
