Do you know of Fitz Henry ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Fitz Henry. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Fitz Henry.<1>

Our sources for Fitz Henry (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Fitz Henry other than they indicate that Fitz Henry would be found somewhere in Ogle County, Illinois.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1851 and closed  in 1875.
