About Guillaume Fouquet, marquis de La Varenne
Fuqua ancestor was originally from France By Curtis Thomasson (Contact)

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
