Martin's & Sarah's
List of Descendants
  • (1) Francis Fugate
    b: 1752 Washington Co, VA
    d: 13 Sep 1781 Moccasin Creek, Russell Co, VA
    m: AGNES (aka Nancy or Ann) LNU, in 1770
    b: 1755 Washington Co, VA
    d: died long after Francis died
    This is not the Francis Fugate who married Cynthea Garrard.
    Francis died when he was thrown from his horse.
    He adopted Agnes's son James (paternity unknown).
    "Nancy" was a nickname for Agnes; she's also sometimes found as "Ann,"
    another nickname for Agnes, but mostly she was Agnes. Her last name
    has never been located. Some researchers believe it was "Vance"
    because her son James named a daughter "Nancy Vance Fugett,"
    but this is not proof of Agnes's last name.



  • (2) Nancy Ann Fugate
    b: 1754 Russell Co, VA
    d: 1823 Clay Co, KY
    m: SAMUEL HADDIX, in 1773, in VA
    son of John &Mary(Taylor) Haddix
    b: 1742 Prince William Co, VA
    d; 03 Oct 1816 Lost Creek, Breathitt Co, KY



  • (3) Benjamin Fugate
    b: 1755 Frederick Co, VA
    d: 1838 Troublesome Creek, Pigeon Roost, Perry Co, KY
    m: HANNAH DEVERS, in 1778, in Washington Co, VA
    b: 1735 NC
    d: 1853 Breahitt Co, KY


  • (4) Henley Fugate
    b: Abt 1761 Fredrick Co, VA
    d: Bef Aug 1838 Claiborne Co, TN
    m: RACHEL CROXDALE, in 1799, in Claiborne Co, TN
    b: Abt 1783 MD
    d: Aft 1860



  • (5) Zachariah Fugate
    b: 1763 Fredrick Co, VA
    d: 1838 Russell Co, VA
    m: UNITY LNU, in Abt 1781

  • (6) William Fugate
    b: Abt 1765 Frederick Co, VA

    m: SARAH "JANE" STEVENS
    (name was Jane and an assumption-only about the Sarah Stevens part)
    b: Abt 1766 VA
    d: she died before William died
    Only two records of William's wife have been found:
    One deed in which she was called "Jane" and the death record of
    William's daughter stating that her mother was "Sarah Stevens"
    (Jane and Sarah Stevens could have been two different people).
    William's wife apparently died before William did, since the
    children were taken in by his brother Zachariah,
    but she left no record at all.
