Isgriggs Family KY and MO - Fitzwater connections

Posted: 2 Dec 2007 1:46PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: FITZWATER, BROWN, ISGRIGG, ISGRIGGS, LEMMON
My greatgrandmother inscribed a small bible to my mother when she was a little girl. In it she wrote that the bible had belonged to...

her mother: Sophronia Fitzwater Brown
HER mother: Mary Isgriggs Fitzwater
and HER mother: Sarah Isgriggs

My great-grandmother was Eary Brown, b. Feb 1880 in Sullivan Franklin Co., MO.

I did find a Sophronia Fitzwater, b. Washington Co., MO in 1837, but the Fitzwater researchers say she is the same woman who married Beverley Hansel in May 1880. In any case, my Sophronia listed her birth year as 1854 (which makes more sense for having an only child in 1880) in the 1900 census, where she is listed as Sophia J. What is interesting is that Sophronia Fitzwater, b. 1837 is the daughter of Jack and Bet (Isgrigg) Fitzwater. And Elizabeth "Bet" is the daughter of Henry and Sarah (Lemmon) Isgrigg. So it kind of fits...and kind of doesn't.

Does anyone know of any other Fitzwater - Isgrigg connections? Or of any Mary Isgrigg with a mother named Sarah?

This mystery is driving me crazy.

Thanks for your help.
