(7) "The story of Denis FITTON" by eddieboom1 on Ancestry.com

"Denis FITTON married Honorah/Hanorah (also known as Anna) FITZGERALD in Ireland (approximately 1856). The family migrated from the Limerick area to the town of Listowel, in County Kerry, where their first child, James FITTEN (as spelled in the Irish baptismal record) was born. Listowel is situated on the River Feale and is quite a distance from both County Cork (70 miles) and County Limerick (45 miles). It was primarily a market town and is now known today primarily for the famous Irish writers who once lived there. By the late 1850's the family migrated to County Limerick and settled first in the town of Abbeyfeale (where their son Denis was born), which borders County Kerry, and then to Newcastle West, in Limerick County, where most of their children were born. Denis immigrated to the United States as early as 1887... successful enough to allow him to pay for passage of Annie and their two sons Michael and Daniel from Ireland to the States, as they all arrived in America in 1892. Their grocery store was located on 59 E St SW in 1893 and then moved to 300 3rd St SW in 1894, which apparently was a home with a storefront. By 1897, Denis and Hanorah moved to a residence separate from their store, at 234 C St. SW."
