Albert Cleveland Fitzgerald married Harriet Lucindi Tillotson on 17 July 1866, in Cowpens, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. All of their children were born in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and they were:
•Luna [Lunar] (8 Feb 1868 – 23 June 1914)
•Emma Caroline (8 June 1870 – 21 Feb 1955)
•Jessie (10 Feb 1872 – 18 Feb 1933)
•Mattie Jane (17 August 1875 – 5 October 1957)
•James Charles [Charlie] ( 21 May 1878 – 25 Dec 1946)
•Nora Belle (18 Feb 1881 – 22 Sept 1964)
•Matthew Wilson [Witt] (29 April 1885 – 10 March 1969)
•Rufus Pryor (31 March 1888– 27 Oct 1976)
•Clyde Falls (24 August 1894 – 9 May 1966)
Albert and Harriett Fitzgerald's daughter, Lunar, married Miles Winfield Mathis (b: 31 Jul 1851 d: 18 Jul 1936) and their daughter, Jessie married Abner Earlie Mathis (b: 1858 d: 4 Oct 1914). Miles and Earlie Mathis were born in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, and were sons of Tilman Mathis and Mary Gossett. Miles and Earlie Mathis moved to Texas after marrying the two Fitzgerald sisters. Harriet Fitzgerald missed her two daughters (Lunar and Jessie Fitzgerald) so much that she persuaded her husband, Albert, to pack up and move to Texas. They came to Texas in 1895 in a covered wagon and eventually settled in Denison, Texas.
The only family member who did not come to Texas was Emma Caroline Fitzgerald. Emma Caroline had married William A. (Will) Wood and they decided to remain in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Like his father, Albert had been a farmer in South Carolina, and he had the same profession when he relocated to Texas. The countryside in North Texas probably reminded Albert of home with its gently rolling hills. Times were hard, but the family stuck it out despite numerous crop failures.
