Notes
Pierce Fitzgerald (c. 1727–c. 1782) was an Irish landowner residing at the Baltinoran estate in County Meath. Records alternately identify his parents as either Richard Fitzgerald and a Miss Lattin, or Thomas Fitzgerald and Begnett Lattin. He married Christina Nugent, daughter of Thomas Nugent of Donore and Mary Daly. Their children included Thomas Fitzgerald, a Royal Navy commander who eventually inherited the Donore estate; Richard Fitzgerald; Lattin Fitzgerald of Soho House; and Catherine FitzGerald. In his later years, he served as a captain in the Volunteers of 1782.
