    • Tax List: 1757, Martic Township, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA

    Notes:

    Tax List:
    William Reynolds, Hugh Reynolds, William Neely, and William Devin all appear on the 1757 tax list of Martic Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. William Neely is the father-in-law of Hugh Reynolds as shown by his Pittsylvania County will n naming daughter Mary Reynolds and grandsons, Joseph and William Reynolds. Joseph Reynolds, son of Hugh, married Margaret Devin, daughter of the above William Devin in Pittsylvania County, Va. William Devin also left a will in Pittsylvania County naming a son, Robert Devin. In his Revolutionary War pension applicaiton, Robert Devin stated that he was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 6 Apr 1759 proving that William Devin of Pittsylvania is the same person who was in Lancaster C County, Pennsylvania. These records show that Hugh Reynolds migrated to Pittsylvania County, Va from Lancaster County, Pa. with William Neely and William Devin. This migration may have included other related families as well. Further research is required here, especially into the Blair family.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Arrival: 1695, , , Virginia, USA
    • Arrival: 1666-1695, , , Virginia, USA

    Notes:

    "Guillaume Fouquet" is thought by many to be the single male ancestor of the entire Fuqua family in America. He was mentioned in several records of Charles City County and Henrico County in the colony of Virginia.

    The English Connection
    Huguenots are known to have fled from France and gone to numerous European countries, from which some unquestionably migrated to America. It is not the purpose of this dissertation to present a case for how "Guillaume Fouquet" may have fit into that situation. However, it is interesting to note that, in England, an interpretation of Huguenot church records encounters the same problems as one has with the Colonial Virginia records of our ancestor.
    The Bishop's Transcripts of St. Dunstan's Church in Canterbury are typical. Records are found involving two families. In the case of the first, their surname is entered as Feuquet, Foquet, Fouquet, Fouquett and Fuquett. The second family is referred to as Farquett and Fuqueet. It is possible, if not probable, that the families were related.
    There were many Huguenot churches in England, and there are many records which contain references which are similar to those found at St. Dunstan's Church. The prospect of simply looking for, and finding, "Guillaume Fouquet" or any other Fouquet in English church records seems somewhat optimistic, at best. Will the correct surname spelling please stand up?

    The "Guillaume" Documents
    Presented below are nine known documents which specifically refer to him.


    Record 1.
    At Court, Varina, Henrico County, August 1st, 1687

    Phillip Thomas aged about 35 years: Deposeth: That Jane Eyers now wife of Gill Fuquitt did live at the deponentt’s a twelve month before ye said death of her Grandfather Will Humphreys and all that time had in her possession as her own right four cowes, one featherbed and boulster and two pewter dishes.

    Record 7.
    On October 25, 1695, Captain William Randolph was granted 2,926 acres on the S. side of James Riv. on a Sw. named Pigion in Weynoake Parish, Charles City County, VA. This grant was amended in 1696 and again in 1699, and was for the transportation of 59 headrights to the Colony of Virginia. The first 17 persons were the same as the 17 which were used by Thomas Cock in his 1689 claim, including Gill Ffuckett. The names were even listed in the same order. It should be noted that Francis Cleaverley was included, although he had died in 1691.
    [PB 9 pgs 2, 71 and 220 as presented in Cavaliers and Pioneers, Volume II, 1666-1695]

    Although the evidence is circumstantial, there seems little doubt that the Gill Ffuckett on these lists is the same person as theGillo Fuquett, Gill Fuquitt, Gill Fuquett, and Gill Fueque listed in the documents related to the marriage of Jane Eyre.

    This premise is supported by the fact that Robert Beasley and Robert Povey (Povall), along with Gill Fuquett (also listed as Gill ffueque) were involved in the estate sale of Francis Cleaverly. All of these men were listed on Thomas Cock's 1689 headright list. In addition, Ralph Hudspeth, Jane Eyre's brother-in-law participated in the estate sale.

    Notes for Ralph Fuqua.
    Ralph settled in Bedford County, Va in the early 1700's. The records show that he purschased property from William Callaway on November 22, 1756. This was the beginning of ownership of the land where much of the city of Bedford, Va is now located. Ralph was related to William and Moses Fuqua who built the famous "Green Hill Village", located near Long Island about 30 miles from Lynchburg, Va. This village was built during the pre-revolutionary-war years. Ralph had seven sons and five daughters.

    Fuqua ancestor was originally from France

    By Curtis Thomasson (Contact) Andalusia Star-News

    Published Saturday, September 5, 2009

    It is believed that Guillaume Fouquet was the first Fuqua ancestor to arrive in America. It appears that Guillaume was born circa 1667 in France. He and his relatives were most likely among the French Huguenots who left France during the late 1600s in an effort to escape the religious persecutions they were experiencing. The Huguenots were Protestants in France whose churches had been outlawed, so they had been suffering for about 100 years.

    Guillaume and some of his relatives settled in England for a time before making their way to America. He came as a headright to Thomas Cock, Sr., who was granted a land patent in Varina Parish, Henrico County, Virginia, to transport 17 headrights from England to the Colony of Virginia. On October 20, 1689, Thomas Cock, Sr. was granted 816 acres on the south side of Chickahaniny Main Southwest.

    Guillaume arrived circa 1685 and was most likely a part of the large exodus of French Huguenots migrating from the British countries. He was soon married in 1685 in Charles City County, Virginia, to Jane Eyre, daughter of Joseph and Margaret (Humphreys) Eyre. William Humphreys was her maternal grandfather. All of Guillaume and Jane’s children were born in Charles City County.

    It is a challenge to track Guillaume through local records due to the various spellings of his names. The traditional spelling of Guillaume Fouquet is generally not recorded, but it is listed as Gill, Gillo and Gille and the last name as Fuquett, Fueque Ffuckett. The most common spelling used was Gill Fuquett.

    Most of Guillaume’s sons, with the exception of Giles, soon changed the spelling of their name to Fuqua. Giles, who was most likely his father’s namesake, used the “Fewqua” spelling. He was married to Elizabeth, and he moved his family from Henrico County to Charles City County where they settled. He died there in 1771 and left a will in which he named his children: Samuel, William, John, Joseph, Hanna Rock, Elizabeth Johnson, and Dina.

    Giles’s son, Samuel, used the Fewqua spelling as his father. He and his wife, Mary, moved across the James River and settled in Prince George County. No record of his children’s names has been located, but the Personal Property Tax Lists of Prince George County offer some clues as to possible sons.

    Randolph Fewqua was one of Samuel’s possible sons. He also used the same spelling as Samuel and Giles, Samuel’s father. He followed the usual pattern of naming two of his children Samuel and Mary after their grandparents. Randolph was married to Lydia, and they resided in Prince George County where he died in 1802. From that date, his wife, Lydia’s, name replaced his on the tax lists until her death in 1812. Their children were named in the settlement of Lydia’s estate.

    One of their children, Randolph R. Fuqua, used the common form of the name. He was born circa 1770 and was one of the first in this family to begin the southerly migration. By 1800, he had reached North Carolina where at least one of his sons, Absalom Fuqua, was born. The family had moved to Washington County, Georgia, by 1805 and was listed as a participant in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery. Although he received a prize of land, he did not pay the fee and actually claim the land.

    Randolph R. finally settled in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia, where his youngest children were born. In 1814, he was listed on the tax lists for that county. He had two sons, Absalom and Randal III, and it is believed that Amos, John M., Sterling and Cornelius were also his sons.

    In 1821, Absalom Fuqua was living in Early County, Georgia, when he drew land in Monroe County, Georgia. He was still in Early County six years later when in 1827, his father, Randolph, had joined him. In March 1827, both were drawn to serve jury duty. In October 1827, Absalom sold his land in Early County to Jeremiah Fowler, and moved his family to Walton County, Florida.

    It appears that the father, Randolph R. Fuqua, followed his sons into new territory again in Walton County. He, Absalom and Randal Jr. all signed a petition in which the settlers in Walton County requested the U.S. Government to provide funds for clearing the snags and sunken logs in the Yellow River in 1839. Prior to this time, only Absalom’s name showed up on the census and other records.

    An aged Randolph R. Fuqua was last found in the 1840 census records for the western area of Walton County, which is now a part of Okaloosa County. He was residing between his son, Absalom Fuqua, and who appears to be Absalom’s father-in-law, John Barrow. It is most likely that he died and was buried in that vicinity.

    Absalom Fuqua appears to have arrived in Walton County prior to 1829 when he was still single. Records show he sold two pieces of property in Early County, Georgia, in 1827. His first noted appearance in Walton County was in 1829 when his name was recorded on the voting list for electing a delegate to Congress from the Yellow River precinct. A voter was required to have lived in the voting district for two years. He would have married about this time, since his first child was born there in 1832.

    Absalom was married to Tabitha Barrow, who is believed to have been the daughter of John and Elizabeth Barrow of the Yellow River community. This has not been documented, but all available records strongly suggest it. Absalom and Tabitha had moved into Covington County by the 1830 census. However, they were there only a short time, because Absalom voted at Almarante, Florida, in the 1831 election. He continued to be found on Florida election records and petitions in 1832, 1839 and 1842.

    Absalom’s father and brother, Randal III, joined him in the 1830s. Some voting records list them during the late 1830s. In 1840, Absalom and Tabitha were living next door to the John Barrow family, and Absalom’s father, Randolph R. Fuqua, was on the other side of the Barrows in Walton County.

    Absalom and Tabitha made their final move to an area in Conecuh County that later became a part of Escambia County, Alabama, when it was formed. They were enumerated there in the 1850 census. Some reports suggest he died in 1855 when he was about 55 years of age and was buried in the area near Sepulga, but this has not been confirmed. In 1860, Tabitha was residing with here son, James, and daughter, Elizabeth. Her younger children were living next door with her son, John.

    It has been reported that Tabitha gave birth to 13 children in 14 years, which is quite a record. She and Absalom Fuqua reared the following children: William Wesley, b. 1832, d.1897, m. Nancy Caroline Archilus; Henry Morton, b. 1834, d. 1917; John, b. 1835, d. 1921, m. (1) Esther ? (2) Roxie Susan King; twins, Nancy J. and Elizabeth, b. 1836; James F., b. 1835, d. 1917, m. Elizabeth “Babe” Haveard; Sarah A., b. 1840; Minerva, b. 1841, m. George Nieser; Reuben, b. 1842, d. 1932, m. Lottie Cincinatti Adkinson; George, b. 1843, d. before 1870, m. Elizabeth ?; Wealthy, b. 1844; Mary Pollyanna, b. 1845, d. 1904, m. William Henry Barneycastle; and Samuel, b. 1846.

    The record above refers to Thomas "Cocke"

    This is believed to be our "Guillaume Fouquet". Although he was listed among 17 persons imported by Thomas Cocke, it was quite common for imports to be claimed for persons who were not actually imported, and this may have been such a case.

    It should be noted that two years later, "Gill" purchased items from the estate of Frances Cleaverly, one of the persons on that import list. Robert Beasley and Robert Povey (Povall), who were also on the list, also made purchases. In addition, Ralph Hudspeth, "Gill's" brother-in-law, purchased items. Both "Gill" and Ralph collected money from the estate (owed to them by Francis Cleaverly). There were several combinations of persons, both on the list and not, who acted as sureties for each others purchases. It seems obvious that those folks knew and trusted each other, they were not just some guys who took a boat ride together.

    William Randolph was the coroner and county clerk who dealt with the estate of Frances Cleaverly.

    Randolph's import claim in 1695 included on his list of importees the same 17 as had been claimed by Thomas Cocke, including Francis Cleaverly (who had been dead for several years, and whose estate settlement had been recorded by Randolph).

    Notes:

    OWEN FAMILY
    Richard OWEN - b. about 1550. Married Jan. 14, 1580, Steventon Parish, Berkshire. Joane DANIELL - b. about 1555-1560; d. after 1604. Daughter of Robert DANIELL.

    Robert OWEN - bap. Nov. 7, 1583, Steventon Parish, Berkshire. Son of Richard OWEN and Joane DANIELL. Married Nove. 21, 1613, Steventon Parish, Berkshire. Joane WHITE - b. about 1595.

    Bartholomew OWEN - bap. Aug. 24, 1619, Steventon Parish, Berkshire, England; d. 1677/8, Surry Co., VA. Probable son of Robert OWEN and Joane WHITE. The earliest record of Bartholomew in America is 1658, but the related Court records in Surry Co., VA from 1658 to late 1660 indicate he was probably well established had some sort of dispute with Thomas GRAY, an early Planter. The Court found that Bartholomew was guilty of scandalous and defamatory language in the case. On Oct. 17, 1659, Bartholomew served on an Inquest Jury in an accidental death. He was a Church Warden of Southwark Parish in 1661. In a land sale of Mar. 1, 1661 and cattle sale of Apr. 1, 1662, Bartholomew was called Gentleman. On Nov. 3, 1663, Bartholomew lost a suit and forfeited 2129 pounds of tobacco, and in 1664 he was co-surety on a King's bond of 10,000 pounds of tobacco. These and other land and Court records between 1658 and 1670 indicate that Bartholomew OWEN held considerable wealth in land and commodities and was called upon to serve the community in positions of trust and responsibility. Bartholomew may have been married first on May 9, 1641 in England to Ann CHARLES, by whom he had no known children. Bartholomew's wife is named as Joanna in a conveyance dated Jan. 3, 1670, and in the Sep. 9, 1674 sale of 150 acres in Surry Co., VA to William FOREMAN. A 648 acre land patent by Bartholomew on May 14, 1673, and a 1689 patent by Edmund JENNINGS including headrights for Robert OWEN, Jone OWEN and William OWEN, together the absence of Bartholomew from Court records from early 1670 to mid 1673, suggests that the family may have made a trip to England during this time. Bartholomew granted a power of attorney to Nicholas Meriweather on Oct. 8, 1677, and on Jan. 31, 1677/8, Joanna OWEN was granted administration of the estate of Bartholomew OWEN, deceased. The estate was inventoried and appraised at 30 pounds by Will FOREMAN and John MORING on Feb. 14, 1677 in Surrey Co., VA. Married Joanna about 1666.

    Joanna - b. about 1652; d. after 1704, New Kent Co., VA. It has been suggested that she was the daughter of Edmond JENNINGS. On Apr. 17, 1693, Joanna deposed that she was "about 40 years." She had four minor children when she was name administrator of her husband's estate.

    Married second in James City to Thomas BROOKES (1695, Henrico Co., VA; will dated Feb. 23, 1694/5 and proved Oct. 1695).  I was likely born in the Colony of Virginia. Since the early records of Henrico County where I lived are mostly missing, I can tell you nothing about my father, who died when my brother, William, and I were very young. Our mother, Joanna, who was born about 1655, married second Thomas Brookes. His 1694-will in Henrico County left one shilling each to Thomas and William Owen, whom he called his “sons-in-law,” a term that then meant stepson. In 1704 mother was living in Henrico County on a large farm belonging to Capt. William Walker of New Kent County and I had my own 68 acres. Mother was likely dead by 1710 when Captain Walker’s son sold the land, calling it the plantation where Joan Brooks formerly lived. William and I lived on the south side of the Chickahominy River near Seth Rench, whose will I witnessed in 1704. Elizabeth and I were the parents of 3 sons and 2 daughters. Since I deeded property to sons, John and William, in March 1740, my 1741-will left them one shilling each. I divided two slaves between the families of daughters Priscilla Fuqua and Elizabeth Britton and expressed my desire that Thomas receive the remainder of my property after the death of his mother. Since I outlived Elizabeth, I deeded my home plantation to Thomas in 1743. I was dead by May 1744.  Land activity Thomas Owen purchased 100 acres on the south side of Chickahominy Swamp 2 February 1712/3, of which he deeded half to Daniel Fitzpatrick 7 February 1714/5. After Rench’s daughter Sarah Rench married Lancelot Armstrong, they sold her half of Rench’s land to Owen 1 September 1728. Thomas deeded 50 acres to Watson Brumfield 3 March 1734/5 and 350 acres to Isaac Winston 30 May 1735. As Thomas Owen of Henrico County, he purchased a tract of land on the north side of the James River in Goochland County 2 June 1737. His wife, Elizabeth, relinquished her dower right when he deeded 190 acres in Goochland County to John Simkins 17 September 1737, the same day Simkins sold Owen a neighboring 150 acres in Henrico County. Thomas Owen, planter living in Henrico County, appointed “loving friend Ralph Fuqua” his attorney 5 April 1743. Thomas Owen, in his own words If he could speak to us today, Thomas Owen might describe his life as follows.  I was likely born in the Colony of Virginia. Since the early records of Henrico County where I lived are mostly missing, I can tell you nothing about my father, who died when my brother, William, and I were very young. Our mother, Joanna, who was born about 1655, married second Thomas Brookes.

After Rench’s daughter Sarah Rench married Lancelot Armstrong, they sold her half of Rench’s land to Owen 1 September 1728. Thomas deeded 50 acres to Watson Brumfield 3 March 1734/5 and 350 acres to Isaac Winston 30 May 1735. As Thomas Owen of Henrico County, he purchased a tract of land on the north side of the James River in Goochland County 2 June 1737.

Thomas Owen, planter living in Henrico County, appointed “loving friend Ralph Fuqua” his attorney 5 April 1743. 

    WILL OF THOMAS OWEN 13 October 1741 To wife Elizabeth, use of Negroes for life and then 2 of them to my son Thomas. Also to wife, items and parts of land, as law directs, for life, and then to son Thomas. To son Thomas, all my lands, except that Martha Robards may have life on the land; also to him, Negroes & items. To son John, 1 shilling. To son William, 1 shilling. To Martha Robards, 1 cow and calf. After wife’s death, my Negro girl to Ralph Fuqua and Priscilla, his wife, for life, and then to their son John, if he live to 21. If he dies, then to Elizabeth Fuqua, daughter of said Ralph & Priscilla. Elizabeth Fuqua also to get the Negro Jack, after the death of her parents provided William Britton Sr. will give his son William Britton one Negro to the value of the Negro girl Lucy, then I give my grandson William Britton, if he reach 18 years of age, the Negro girl Lucy. If he dies, said Lucy goes to his sisters, Elizabeth and Mary Britton. All rest of estate divided between wife and son, Thomas. Thomas did not identify Martha Robards as a daughter, although perhaps she was. 

    John Owen (-1767) John Owen, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Owen, married first Sarah Brackett. Sarah joined John on a deed in August 1731 but was dead by 1739 when John’s wife was Phoebe. William Bratchett, perhaps Sarah’s brother, was residing in John’s household in 1749. During his lifetime, John acquired large tracts of land in present-day Prince Edward County, including 4,273 acres by patent. A resident of St. Patrick’s Parish, he helped procession farms in the fork of the Sandy River in 1760. John left a will in Prince Edward naming wife, Phoebe, and twelve children (will dated 24 Feb. 1767, recorded 28 Aug. 1767).

After selling DeJarnette 8 acres in 1759, he was left with 192, which he deeded to his brother Brackett Owen 7 October 1762.

    Notes:

    After reading a bible record of the Lindsay family and viewing articles written in Virginia Magazine, I've come to the conclusion that IF it is our Sukie Lindsay that was the daughter of James Lindsay, she would have been born to James Lindsay and Lucy (widow of Edward Ware) and that Lucy would have been James' FIRST wife, not second wife.
    IF our Sukie were born to a second marriage, that would make her birth yr after 1747, which could not be, since she began having children circa 1750. She would have been born before James married Sarah Daniel circa 1719 and her mother Lucy likely died giving birth to her.
    There is an article written by a descendant [Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Gordon] claiming that the Lindsay immigrant was one father of James Lindsay and Caleb Lindsay was one Adam Lindsay of Scotland.
    Therefore I believe there must be more records found to substantiate or deny these claims.
    ..........Bible record...................

    Notes:

    Bartholomew Owen was born in Steventon Parish, Berkshire, England, ca. 1619, and was christened on 24 August 1619. His parents were Robert Owen, born in Steventon Parish ca. 1583, christened 7 November 1583, and Joanne White, born in Stevento n Parish ca. 1592, christened 20 July 1592. Robert was the son of Richard Owen, born ca. 1555 in England and Joanne Daniel, born ca. 1560. Bartholomew came to Surrey County, Virginia in the 1650's and married ca. 1663, Johanna Jennings, born ca . 1640 and died after 1693, believed to be the daughter of Edmund Jennings. There are four known children: Katherine (ca.1667-1719), Robert (ca. 1668-1717), William (ca. 1671-1752) and Thomas (ca. 1673-1744). Bartholomew died intestate ca. 167 7 with the inventory and appraisal of his estate made on 14 February 1677, and filed in the Surrey County, VA court on 17 January 1678. Johanna was appointed administrator of the estate (see inventory below). After Bartholomew's death, Johanna mar ried Thomas Brooks, and moved with her two younger sons, William and Thomas, to James City, Virginia and then to Henrico County.

    After his arrival in Virginia, Bartholomew immediately made a name for himself. The Surrey County, Virginia 1652 - 1663 court records are full of his dealings and escapades. In 1658 he was involved in a fight with Thomas Gray, a prominent plant er. A suit was filed in Surrey County and several witnesses testified that they had heard Bartholomew Owen making many "disparaging, malicious and threatening remarks" against Gray. On 29 January 1658, the Court granted a continuance in the differ ence between Gray and Owen.

    On 5 September 1660, in Court held at Southwarke Parish for Surrey County, further evidence was introduced in the case. In a deposition, dated 16 August 1660, Robert Spenser, aged 30, son of Edmund Spencer, undersheriff of Surrey County, state d that he had heard Bartholomew, on several occasions and in various places speak very "scandulous" words against the Commissioners of Surrey County, saying he would never have justice done him in that Court." Further, both in James City an d in Surrey County, Bartholomew had highly reviled Captain George Jordan, calling him "Raskell and Rogue" and "shouten Raskell" and several other such base terms. Spenser rebuked Owen for his "mullitious" words. Owen replied, swearing, "God Dam m him, of that raskell" George Jordan.

    In the second deposition in James City, 19 August 1660, Roger Rawlins, aged 26, said that he heard Owen "disparrage" Captain Jordan and the Court, threatening him "publicky" in company saying "he longed to kick that man's arse." In Septembe r 1660, Mrs. Fortune Mills, a relative of the reviled Captain George Jordan, "deposeth" that Bartholomew Owen of Surrey County, hath several times, in her hearing, spoken "dispairaging and scandalous" words against the Commissioners and wholly aga inst Captain Jordan saying "he never had justice done him in that Court." The court found Bartholomew guilty of scandalous and defamatory language and appointed Captain George Jordan to sue and prosecute the said Owen at the next Quarter Court wi th full power and authority to use all lawful means, for their consideration. Robert Stanton, the court clerk recorded this judgement, on 10 September 1660.

    Despite this verdict and the controversy, Bartholomew was apparently considered a man of some substance since he was referred to as a gentleman in the records. He was a Church Warden of Southwarke Parish Church, Surrey County, served on seve ral juries and coroners juries, sold and bought land and appeared to have served as a cattle broker.
    Bartholomew owned a 648-acre plantation, but was far from being considered well off. He died intestate and his estate was valued at a modest £30 and probably, for inheritance tax purposes, was inventoried as follows: "one ould diseased horse an d ould saddle and bridle, a bull, heyfer 12 years old, and a heifer calf, 6 shoates and 2 sows with 12 pigs." His household goods "comprised a passell of ould pewter, 2 ould iron pots, 2 pair pot hooks, 2 spits, and a pair of ould tongs." Furnitur e included "2 very ould thin feather beds and boulsters and 1 very ould, woolen cloth blankit, 2 tables and a fourme (bench) very ould, and 1 ould chest without a lock. A parcel of lumber and ould iron and 1 barrill of a gun and an unfixed lock an d an ould rifle" completed the inventory. Will Foreman and John Moring made the appraisal on 14 February 1677, Jone Owen also signed by mark.
