    6. Dorothy baptized January 24, 1645, at St. Paul's.
    In April, 1686, William Fitzhugh, of Virginia, wrote to England inviting his sister Dorothy to come over and live with him, and directs that she be "handsomely and genteely provided," furnished with a maid, &c., and if she had not the money that he would bear all costs. She came either late in that year of early in 1687, and in April, 1687, he anounces in a letter to England, her marriage to Dr. Ralph Smith, a physician and merchant of Bristol, who had determined to settle in Virginia. Dr. Smith only lived a few years, and some time in 1690, the widow married George Luke, son of Oliver Luke, Esq., of Woodend, Bedfordshire, and a grandson of the hero of Hudibras, a young man who had come to Virginia under the auspices of his kinsman, Nicholas Spencer, President of the Council. This marriage was not a very happy one, and she only survived it a short time. ...
