My great grandmother was Francis (Virginia) Ann Wirtz.
She was born 8/08/1861 in Montgomery County, Va.
She died in 1941, and is buried in Florence, SC.
According to other researchers her name might have been Wirt. Wirtz is the name on her tombstone.
I am trying to find out if her parents were John Wirtz and Nancy Sarah Williams Wirtz from Montgomery County, Va.
John's parents might have been Andrew Wirtz (born about 1804?) and Ann Consolver from Montgomery County also.
I have no dates on the other Wirtz/Wirt at this time.
On the 1850 Census of Montgomery County, Va. in the area of Christiansburg I found:
832- Andrew Wirt.........46 yrs old
Ann " .........45
Sarah " .........22
John " .........19 I believe he is the father of Francis (Virginia) Ann Wirtz and Richard J. Wirtz
James " ..........17
Henry " ..........15
Catherine " ..........12
George " ..........10
Russell " .............8
Andrew " ............ 4
Wade " ............. 3
If anyone has something to share on this family please contact me.
Thanks,
Susan
