• Notes

  Land Purchase in Greenup County Kentucky According to Biggs (1951), Captain Moses Fugua sold his property in Virginia and a bought a "trace of land of more than thirteen hundred acres along the Ohio River between Mt. Zion and Tygart Creek. Today this is So Shore, Greenup County, Kentucky. Moses brought his large family and many slaves from Campbell County, Virginia, and settled there. Judith Woodson Fugua [his wife] never came to Kentucky as she died before they left Virginia." Source: Biggs, Nina M. and Mackoy, Mabel L. (1951). Kentucky. Mt. Vernon, IN; Windmill Publications, p.164. Fuqua Family Migrates to Ohio, published 1877 source: a newspaper on microfilm at Ohio Historical Society "THE IRONTON REGISTER" Ironton, Ohio, Thursday, March 1, 1877 Lawrence County, Ohio EARLY SETTLEMENT "The following is an extract from a sketch of early days across the river, showing the first settlement in Greenup County: Captain Moses FUQUA, an officer of the Revolutionary War, with seven or eight children, sons, and daughters, and sons-in-law named Josiah MORTON, W. DUPUY and John MACKOY, from the counties of Campbell and Charlotte, Virginia, each with young families and a few slaves, left the Old Dominion in the latter part of the eighteenth century, in search of a western home. It was, no light undertaking for these pioneer fathers and mothers with their young children, to attempt the crossing of the rugged mountain, where the trace existed. Yet they persevered in their journey. After leaving Campbell county they passed through Bedford county, near the Peaks of Otter, and then over the Blue Ridge and on to the Alleghenies. Upon reaching the summit of some of these mountains it was sometimes difficult to determine how to descend, the incline being too great to use the ordinary method of locking the wagon wheels. The plan as described by them was to cut down trees with bushy tops and fasten them to the foot of the mountain. Thus thy continued westwardly by way of the White Sulphur Springs and the Kanawha Valley. These families all finally reached the Ohio Valley and located in Greenup county, Kentucky, thirty miles below the Big Sandy river, in the large bottom where Tygart Creek empties into the Ohio river, and extending up and down the river for some nine or ten miles. Each of the party purchased several hundred acres, and, although in a dense forest, they soon erected log cabins and cleared up ground to raise corn and the necessaries of life."
