Interesting stories and family legends about great grandparents and ancestors are often passed down through generations of families by word of mouth. However, few families can point to an engaging written account of their own ancestors' lives in early America. This is one such story of the FitzRandolph family.
The story of Elizabeth Blossom is the story of a girl who was born in 1620, and spent her early years in Leiden, Holland with her parents and her brothers. In 1629 Elizabeth and her family travelled across the Atlantic Ocean and settled in the village of Plymouth, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. She married her beloved Edward FitzRandolph, raised a family and eventually settled in Woodbridge, New Jersey. Elizabeth's story is authentic. The dates cited have been documented and are easily verifiable. Words of a letter written by Elizabeth's father and sent to William Bradford within this story are excerpted directly from the letter that Thomas Blossom sent to Governor Bradford. The letter written by Elizabeth's son, Nathaniel, is documented among various histories of The Society of Religious Friends.
If you enjoy historical fiction, this story of love, perseverance and courage may appeal to you. If you are interested in the history of New Jersey, the history of the Quakers or the history of the FitzRandolph family, you will also enjoy reading Elizabeth's story.
