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?

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.

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).

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."

Family/Spouse: Judith Woodson. Judith (daughter of Obediah Woodson and Constance Watkins) was born on 23 Mar 1743 in , Prince Edward, Virginia, USA; died on 16 Feb 1803 in , Greenup, Kentucky, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There were 2 churches that arose out of the Bedford Baptist Church(then called Little Otter Church), the Suck Spring and Timber Ridge churches. Isham Fuqua was the pastor of the Little Otter Church and ministered to these two congregations after they were formed. His Father, Joseph Fuqua, and another man, John Hewitt, were the first deacons of the Timber Ridge church which began its meetings in a one room log cabin on land purchased from William Lowry. Fuqua and Hewitt took named ownership of the property. The one room church was replaced in the 1820's by a larger building and Isham was replaced by Reverend William Leftwich.

On July 3, 1969, BEDFORD BULETIN-DEMOCRAT published a "Believed List of County Men in Revolution," which apparently contained the name of Isham Fuqua.
Isham Fuqua moved to Davidson County, Tennessee, in about 1805. His son, Nathan Fuqua, married Mille Carter in 1812 in Tennessee and died about 1852 in Monroe County, Mississippi. As a result of his service in the War of 1812, he was granted land near Aberdeen, Mississippi. Joshua Fuqua is listed in the Tract Book of Original Entries of Land in Monroe County, Mississippi, as purchasing land on 4 July 1836.

Isham Fuqua was a Baptist minister of Bedford Co., Virginia. On 27 June 1796, he was given permission to perform marriage ceremonies, and many of his relatives were married by him, including his eldest son, the Rev. Peter Fuqua. Isham Fuqua had a family of nine children, two daughters and seven sons. Six of the seven sons also because Baptist ministers, as well as several of his grandsons.
On September 25, 1804, John Otey sold to the "trustees of the Baptist Church lately convened in Liberty in the county of Bedford under the care of Isham Fuqua, their pastor, to wit: James Bramblet, John Hancock, Joseph Fuqua, and John Otey, for $15.00, one and one-half acres adjoining the town of Liberty, for the purpose of building a Baptist Meeting house on." This transaction can be found in Bedford Co., Va. Deed Book K11, on pages 1071 and 1072.
The house was built of brick and was used as a church, called "Little Otter" until 1850 when it was sold and converted into a residence. In 1850, the turstees of Little Otter Church - Armistead Otey, Benjamin H. Mansfield, Abner Fuqua, Abraham Fuqua, and Adam J. Boyer - purchased from the estate of James Meyse, for $290, the lot on Main Street where the present church stands. At that time, the name was changed to Liberty Baptist Church. In 1901, the name of the town was changed to Bedford, and the name of the church then became Bedford Baptist Church.
In 1805, Isham Fuqua organized Suck Spring and Timber Ridge Baptist Churches in Bedford Co., Virginia, and apparently migrated shortly after that time - or at least by 1810 - to Davidson Co., Tennessee, near Nashville. He was accompanied by most of his children. Isham Fuqua apparently died before the 1820 census, since the census lists only his wife and two children at that time.

Isham married Mary Hammons on 27 Jan 1777 in , Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA. Mary was born in 1755 in , Goochland, Virginia, USA; died on 3 Feb 1840 in , Davidson, Tennessee, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

At the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the town of Bedford lies the Fuqua family cemetery. The location, restoration and dedication in May, 1975 was undertaken and supported by the Peaks of Otter Chapter, Virginia, DAR.Within the walls, still surrounded by the original mock orange, the graves of Joseph and Ralph Fuqua, Revoluntionary soldiers of the 5th Virginia Regiment are found along with thirthy-five others of family members and Revolutionary soldiers.
In 1782 Joseph Fuqua and William Downey gave one hundred acres of land upon which the town of Liberty, now Bedford, was built. At the dedication ceremonies this landmark was presented to the City of Bedford.

The settler who gave the town of Liberty his land, and Texas his sons. Born on May 4, 1756 and dying May 4 seventy-three years later, Joseph Fuqua led a generally quiet life as a farmer and family man. He is remembered in Bedford today for an outstanding act of generosity he shared with another man who went on to obscurity. Joseph Fuqua and William Downing donated the 100 acres that became the site of the town established in 1782 as Liberty. He had fought in the Revolutionary War before settling in this area, enlisting Feb.22, 1776 and fighting in the battles of Cowpens and Brandywine. He was discharged in 1778. His father Ralph Fuqua had also been a Revolutionary War soldier. In 1782, the same year he donated the land for Liberty, he married the former Celia Bondurant, and they had six sons and five daughters, most of whom eventually moved to Texas.

The Fuqua's were Baptist (Joseph Fuqua was the first deacon at Lowry Meeting House, now Timber Ridge Baptist Church). The family was renowned for its hospitality. The cemetery off Orange Street in Bedford, where Joseph Fuqua is buried, was uncovered a few years ago by Mrs. R. N. Krebs, who was curator of the Bedford City/County Museum. When it was found Joseph's will provided the cemetery should never be sold , the company that had purchased it, deeded the site to the city, which maintains it today. Joseph Fuqua is also appreciated in Texas, where so many of his descendants settled. A grandson of his, 16-year old Galba Fuqua, was the youngest soldier to die at the battle of the Alamo.

Coincidentally, another one of Joseph's descendants was instrumental in providing one of Bedford's best - known landmarks. Fred Fuqua of Lynchburg, Virginia, a direct descendant of Joseph's son Abraham Fuqua, who stayed in Bedford County, was the contractor who built the present courthouse in 1930. It was Fred Fuqua who formally presented the Fuqua Cemetery to the city in the dedication ceremony, that took place in 1975.
