• 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.

[Colonial Index: Henrico Co., Va., Book 4, Orphans Court Book, 1677-1736, p. 32] 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. Record 8.

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.

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.
