From the William O’Connor - Fugate Files at Breathitt Co Public Library
John Zachariah married first Eleanor Morgan and second Sarah Henley.... by Sarah he had son Benjamin Fugate that married Hannah Devers, Zachariah that married Unity Devers, Colbert Fugate that married Hannah Tate, Henley Fugate that married Rachel Croxdale, Nancy/Ann Fugate that married Samuel Haddix and Francis Fugate that married Nancy Agnes Georges. 

From the Family Bible of the Fugates
From an e-mail from Freda Combs Rowlett:
......I have a lot of info from Nancy Ann Fugit/Fugitt/Fugate's Bible. She spelled it Fugitt but the spelling was changed in the Clay County KY courthouse in the late 1790's/early 1800's to Fugate. (The area now Breathitt County KY was first part of Floyd County, then Clay County, then Perry County and finally Breathitt County. So the area our ancestors lived in was at the now Breathitt County/Perry County borders encompassing Lost Creek and Troublesome Creeks. They did branch out in the 1800's to other parts of Breathitt and Perry Counties. (KY)

Nancy Ann's father was John Zachariah Fugitt and her mother was Sarah Henley. John Zachariah's father was Josiah Fugitt and his mother was Mary E. Martin. Josiah's father was James Lawton Fugitt and his mother was Dorothy Pettis. James Lawton's father was Peter Fugitt and his mother was Armelies Lawton. Peter Fugitt immigrated from France.

They were from Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, England which was a have for French Huguenots who settled in England and later America. The Fugate family were probably Huguenot and Peter could indeed have been born in France while his brothers were from England and emigrated to America from there).

Nancy Ann lists herself and her siblings, their spouses and their children as follows:

Nancy Ann Fugate - Samuel Hadox (the Hadox was later changed to Haddox then Haddix); Colby Hadox; John Zachariah Hadox; Henley Hadox; Frances Elizabeth Hadox; William Boyd Hadox

Colebert Fugate- Hannah Tate-Samuel Bracken Fugitt; Robert Fugitt; Zachariah Fugitt; Issac Beverly Fugitt; Mary Fugitt; John Fugitt; Edith Fugitt; Lydia Duscilla Fugitt; ; Lucinda Fugitt

Francis Fugitt - Nancy Georges; Mary Fugitt; Sarah Fugitt; George Fugitt; Peggy Fugitt; Francis Fugitt Jr.

Zachariah Fugitt - Unnity Dorton ; Zachariah Fugitt Jr.; William Boyd Fugitt; Benjamin Fugitt; Cornelius Fugitt; Martin Fugitt; Patsy Fugitt; Sarah Mary Fugitt - deceased flux

Bejamin Fugitt - Hamar or Hannah Bevers or Devers (ink was very faded) Charley Boyd Fugitt; Rachel Ann Fugitt; Catherine Elizabeth Fugitt; Frances Mary Fugitt; Henley Zack Fugitt; Elijah Lawton Fugitt; Martin Pettis Fugitt;

Henley Fugate - Rachel Croxall; Jonah Fugitt; Mary Fugitt; Ruthy Fugitt; Rachael Fugitt; Henley Fugitt Jr.

Sincerely,Freda Combs Rowlett

Is there a copy of this family Bible that is available. I am Robet Jason Fugate B 02-27-1932, son of Jason Fugate B 1895, son of Gabriel Fugate, Son of Martin Fugate son of Levi Fugate son of William Fugate son of Martin Fugate son of Josias Fugate. According to the Bible recod Josias Fugate is the son of James Lawton Fugate who's mother was Dorothy Pettis. I don't see how that is possibile that James Lawton Fugate's mother could be Doothy Pettis and his father be Peter Fugate. We know o acept That Aleston Fugate or La Foucate or Fugitt who married nancy Jane Adams had 3 children and there is some doubt as who is Aleston's father is and we know that Aleston was B 1610 supposely in England or France, There is doubt as who Aleston's father was and the name is La Foucate and the line is Pierre Peter James La Foucate and that is where the Peter and james comes from. This family or at least some were Mariners and taveled between England and France and the English channel is only about 25 miles accross. The James and Peter seem to get mixed up and we are not sure that Dorothy Pettis and james Fugate had any children, but I believe they did and also believe thta they or the Father of James lawton Fugate. I would love to see this Bibilical record for it i think is the best data of all. I have been trying to piece this all together fo about 40 years now,

This is a help ... but dates are really necessary to sort these out families apart properly.

For instance, the concern with John Zachariah Fugitt is really around Sarah Henley ... as she is claimed to be the mother of what seem to be different families of Fugitt's.

Yes Martin Fugate B 1727 King George, Co. VA wife is not clear and what I have from Mary Fugate is that her name was Unknown Clark. There seems to be as i research Penelope Bolling that his wife's name was probable Sarah Clark. We are not totally sure that William Fugate in my line was for sure Martin's son. We do known that William Fugate B abt 1760/61 D 1808 was living in martin's household There is also two Penelope 's one Penelope Massie Bolling and one just Penelope Bolling.

What I am trying to get straight is from Aleston Fugate 1610 and Nancy Jane Adams with down to the Peter and James and which on is the Father of Josias Fugate from there back I have myline very solid. please send to my email a copy of the Bible records I mentioned before to my email rfugate3@cox.net, Thanks
